A Note From The Editor
BY DC CUEVA
Along with everything that this site offers with weekly MTV Reality coverage and occasional posts not related to it on sports, pop culture and the Vegas beat, sometimes DCBLOG will offer these sort-of update posts on what we have planned in the days and weeks to come. This Friday check-in will give me the chance to peek in on what's ahead... and it's all made possible by something that hasn't happened as of yet on The Challenge All-Stars... and if you've seen this week's episode we don't really need to elaborate on it on here for the sake of everyone else who haven't seen it yet.
As we have stated on here before, DCBLOG has a policy in place that, if any episode of shows that we cover end in cliffhangers, then that week's episode coverage is instead pushed back to the following week for the sake of continuity and with our utmost respect to those who prefer to binge-watch rather than watch live. To that end, we will have what happens in this weeks episode, along with what happens next week in the same weeks offerings... or maybe the following week as we are getting closer to the finale of All-Stars 3.
A serendipity of saving coverage of this week's All-Stars to next week is that it does clear away the time for us to focus in on the following posts that we will be featuring on here in the next couple of weeks.
● DCBLOG came online at the same time as the Portland Real World season, and where it has been a focus of All-Stars 3 one of them got to do something brave before the cast of this season was revealed. Our ExtraTime story for this All-Stars season will feature Jordan as he and another multiple champion head across to Ukraine to take part in the humanitarian effort during the early weeks of the conflict the nation had with Russia earlier this spring.
● A week from now sees the premiere of an upcoming new series that debuts on Paramount+ called All-Star Shore. We got to do a "Look Ahead" post at the start of this year to get our feet wet on what we called "the biggest MTV crossover event ever," and now that the cast has been officially revealed we will offer our traditional season preview coming up in the days ahead.
● On the back of that, two weeks from now will see CBS reality alumni take to the same stage that the Stars are in right now: the heat of battle. The Challenge: USA will see those from Big Brother, Survivor, The Amazing Race and Love Island USA compete in the same game as Paulie, Josh and everyone else has played... and next week we will be previewing all that,
● In both of those instances, we will stay true to the policy we have that you don't meet a new castmate on these shows for the first time on the premiere: we will several editions of Who Are These Newbies? to introduce us to the many CBS alumni going onto the U.S. Challenge, and the cast of All-Star Shore -- but not everyone will be featured in those posts... we'll explain that in due course.
● And in the spot in between our All-Stars doubleheader next week, we will have yet another Look at the world of Dre.Media and a first for the one person who this site has focused on more than any other: the latest season of The Life We Live sees it return to a previous destination for Season 8... and the Poconos will be where Dre & friends will have plenty of fun and drama.
So, that's what we have in the next few weeks... hope you enjoy what we have to come. As always, bookmark this site, subscribe to the notifications on my social channels & the email list, and of course like, comment and share, and tell a friend so they can also become fans of our insightful content. But as you can see from a new statement that appears in the comment section below, please be mindful and courteous... I discovered that I got some hate for my post on CT's brother getting murdered -- you don't see that there anymore as I promptly disabled the comments there for the sake of protecting my mental health. Please, DO NOT leave negative comments... that's why they are now subject to my approval -- and also to promote a judgement free zone during this Men's Mental Health Month of June.
But to leave you here on a positive note: this coming Monday will mark my tenth Twitter anniversary... which coincided with the season that came before Portland in that Real World season that took place in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Joining that social media community changed how I would get to experience not just this MTV beat, but also the sports and music world as well. And though it can be a wreck just checking out your Twitter feed, just glancing over at my @DC408Dxtr channel you can see my passion for the things I'm most passionate about on display, along with offering everyone "The Escape You Deserve." Let's go for ten more on there, and ten more on this blog... we'll see you here then.
