The house was stung a bit by the arrival of an All-Star from our first go-around when Beth came in as a replacement, and last week she was on the loose when she went in on our defending champs MJ and Jonna... but stirring the pot in the house and opting to quit a sky-high daily and then again in a nighttime elimination just added to her legend. Between all that, a Teej-bomb was dropped in giving just those who win the weeklies the power to control the game however they want, and in what was the only arena battle last week the gingerman knocked out the Season 1 winner while also saving another star who was part of one of his biggest days ever.
Thanks to that twist, the second half of this season is now underway... and as we head into this week the Stars are feeling quite motivated to now starting those big moves to change up the balance thanks to Yes and Beth being gone. Pivotal to anyone's success when the money is on the line is solving puzzles, which are no doubt considered the ultimate equalizer when it comes to this game, and a game of trying to stack things and even try to put a ball in a little mouse hole will no doubt put the players on edge, while also giving some heat to some boiling rivalries. And to top it all off... no season of any of these competition shows would be complete without a blindside going into the arena.
But Week #5 of All-Stars Season 3 is hardly the only news in Challenge Nation in a week where BTS dropped a new album among other new music releases (which made my just promoted to high school niece who turned 14 yesterday feel so good), Britney Spears getting married, golf being turned on its head by the LIV Tour, and the events of what happened one Challenge Wednesday in D.C. This week saw the launch of the new Challenge spinoff: The Challenge USA which begins the Wednesday after the 4th of July... and along with all the action, reaction & interaction to Episode 6, we'll also have all the hoopla surrounding the launch of the version of this show that everyone in this country can watch for free on the CBS Television Network. All of that is next... and thanks for joining us.

@RAnkney: At this point, @TheChallenge needs to just make the flagship show match #TheChallengeAllStars3 (shorter duration, pool of competitors to call upon grows, and you bring back the fans’ trust). It’s just better. @TheMarkLong make it happen, Cap’n.
- @JonBrennan_com: @TheMarkLong @paramountplus I mean really… we day the flagship show IS the all stars show #TeueStory
@TinaBarta: "@80sdudegotcha: @TinaBarta I hope they go back to the season 1 format for all stars where its more friendly. I prefer the chill vibes where yes yall are playing for A LOT of money but you all have real jobs and families so at the end if the day its a vacation. A competitive and potentially rewarding vacay." RT LOVE this! Throwback format with smaller OG's cast provides beefier storylines will allow the viewer to get invested in each cast members experience.

Okay, so maybe there isn't as much Twitter buzz for Episode 6 of All-Stars 3 above -- obviously, there's a difference between shows that air on conventional television and those that stream... but here's one thing to make this 'Pulse diary complete: a double shot.
When we get around to the end of this season, it will be time for many reality fans to enjoy the year's main event: Season 24 of Big Brother. Once opening night wraps up in early July, a new spin-off to this very show will kick off... and Last Call belongs to the launch of The Challenge USA.

But for the time being, our focus is on the present... and just ahead Da'Vonne & co. tackle the Table of Truth one more time on Ex On The Beach, along with our first look at Buckhead Shore. But tomorrow: another first look: the two newest babies in Challenge Nation... enjoy your Saturday everyone.
