And so on this last weekend of July, welcome back... and needless to say, this has been the toughest time of my life as my family & I have been dealing both personally and privately with the passing one week ago today of my beloved father, Mariano Cueva. We have received an outpouring of sorrow and support that has helped us get through these past seven days... and on behalf of my family, yours truly would like to say thanks to everybody who has sent us their positive energy our way during this week of mourning. To our extended family and to my social followers, we appreciate all of you for being there for us as you have shared in our grief in this extraordinary and unprecedented time. But as life goes on amidst this sadness, we at DCBLOG are now ready to resume our MTV blog coverage.
As we return to the compound, the knocking out of one-third of The Cookout has left everyone both shook and unsettled... and that has also put into the conversation the question of who is loyal to one another --- and as some of the alliances that came here staying true to one another, others are going by the wayside. One powerful duo will find themselves beginning to open up their suspicions on where this game is headed, while a pair of imperfect challengers will have to tackle one flaw to the randomness of the teams being recoupled: lack of chemistry... all as they try to again utilize their puzzle skills: this time, in a staple of your family dinner time.
After the break, we return to our regularly scheduled programming as we bring you a back-tracked edition of the DCBLOG MTV 'Pulse as we cover Week 3 of The Challenge: USA.... and we're glad you're with us.
► PRELUDE: Between Weeks 2-3

@TheAllanAguirre: 2 Weeks into the Challenge USA, nobody has shined more than Tyson Apostol. Tyson is funny, smart, a great athlete, and a Reality TV Legend who carries himself like a star. I JUST PUBLISHED: Tyson Apostol is God’s Gift to the Challenge https://t.co/LNjQX1MtL8
@CFConfessionals: On top of being a former Collegiate Swimmer and Pro Cyclist, Tyson Apostol's transition onto The Challenge has come easy as he's been competing in immunity challenges and carnival games for 14 years now. Nobody is more experienced on this show than Tyson. #TheChallengeUSA

@JamesWallington: Alright East Coast 🙌... it's time to party! An all new episode of #TheChallengeUSA 🇺🇸 starts NOW on @CBS. Are you watching? Tweet me & let me know your thoughts. @TheChallenge
- @TheChallenge: @JamesWallington You already KNOW I am 😉 #TheChallengeUSA
@CBSBigBrother: What an episode!🤯 We’ll see you Sunday where another houseguest will leave the #BB24 house.🏠 In the meantime, catch @thechallenge on NOW.💪🏽 #TheChallengeUSA
- @TheChallenge: @CBSBigBrother Thanks for the handoff bestie 🥰 #TheChallengeUSA
@sammy_rivs: @JamesWallington you look like Mario in the best way possible 🤣🤣 #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Let’s go #AmazingRace! 🥹🫶🏻 We’re making a name for our show on #TheChallengeUSA! 🇺🇸 @LeoTemory @Cayla_Platt_
@JamesWallington: She’s got the brain, the brawn but more importantly @missfoxytasha has the HEART! 💜 Let’s do this 🙌🏻 #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: Just ✨ innocently ✨ plotting #TheChallengeUSA (GIF: Shan to Derek - "I'm not really deviously plotting.)
@AshleyBKeenan: Y’all, @JamesWallington is such a good narrator and storyteller. So happy we get to see him every week on #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Sooo… Which partnerships are you excited to see compete together on this upcoming daily? 🧐 LMK. #TheChallengeUSA @TheChallenge
@sarahatwood: Not two of my all time favs together. I'm in love with a TASHA / JAMES pairing!!! #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: When you realize today's challenge is basically just a weighted version of the floor is lava 🌋 #TheChallengeUSA (Pic of Cashay's face reaction)
@JamesWallington: I love seeing @shannonsaint3’s head in the game. 🙌🏻🥹 #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Not me having the same strategy as Ben… 😂 RSTLNE. But this challenge said NO E FOR JAMES & TASHA. #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: Danny's inner thoughts right now: please don't fall, please don't fall, please don't fall 🤞 #TheChallengeUSA (GIF of him on plank)
@JamesWallington: Ok ya’ll, let me set the record straight. @missfoxytasha & I were never that far behind in the challenge, like at all. 😂 If I’m remembering correctly we were ahead of a few teams. 🤷🏻♂️ #TheChallengeUSA but I understand why it’s being shown the way it is. We lost, it is what it is.
@RealityRadioPod: James and Tasha! This is why wheel of fortune is trash! 😩😩😩 #TheChallengeUSA
@YenisedAjete: Damn. @JamesWallington just cant catch a break every week. #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: The rule was each teammate had to bring back 6 pieces of the ladder 🪜. #TheChallengeUSA Every duo, for the most part, was running in sync with each other for that reason. 🏃🏻♂️ Also, Tasha’s shoes were too small. 🥺
@TheChallenge: SKRRRRRRT. Don't get too comfortable, no one's safe in the Challenge house 😬 #TheChallengeUSA (GIF: Tyson - "Allies to the end.")
@mattybum25: I absolutely love James. He eats these episodes up. #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: I’ve gone from zero to hero before… but can I pull off the impossible again? 🧐 #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: Words you NEVER want to hear TJ say to you 😓 #TheChallengeUSA (GIF: him to James & Tasha - "I'll be seeing you both in the arena.")
Taylor
@mattybum25: I hope James can politic again this week to at least get his best shot to stay. I cant lose Tiffany and James back to back #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: There you have it folks… I told @LeoTemory that I’d prefer NOT to go against him. #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: For the record, I never PUSHED for @LeoTemory & @JustineJoy312. 🤦🏻♂️ As a gamer, I recognized they were an option for Ky/Angela 🤯 & the 💰 at stake. Leo isn’t just an Amazing Racer but my friend IRL. 💜 For my game, he was never an option that I personally wanted. #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Y’all have to understand, Ky/Angela being BB, there were few options for them to choose. We already knew Leo & Justine would be an option for them, and we as players have to discuss EVERY option. #TheChallengeUSA that’s how deliberation works.
@JamesWallington: "@bbgal34: james just seems like he would be besties with janelle pierzina #TheChallengeUSA" RT What do you think @JanellePierzina? 🤩 I would’ve loved to compete together on #TheChallengeUSA. 💜
@TheChallenge: Rule #6793 of The Challenge: putting yourself into elimination is NEVER a good idea 😅 #TheChallengeUSA
- @TheChallenge: Should I make a pamphlet? Be honest. #TheChallengeUSA
@calebhunton: James is the best at interacting with fans, I love that he keeps things positive but fair! Such a great reality personality. @JamesWallington #TheChallengeUSA
@FinalAlliance1: If this works out for @JamesWallington he might go down as the biggest mastermind in Challenge history… right next to @iamkamiam_ #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: This is the equivalent to saying “I’m fine” #TheChallengeUSA (GIF: Kyland - "I'm not really trippin' about it.")
@Brian_Scally: When you accidentally text the person you were talking about:#TheChallengeUSA (GIF of Alyssa and Tyson)
- @lysslopezz: Omg I forgot about this moment 😂😂😂😂 @TysonApostol
@BriceIzyah: Tasha & James are legends. Congratz Dom & Cash! Definitely in my emotions seeing my girl Tasha & James go home 🥹 but happy for Dom & and my boo cash still in this bish‼️ #TheChallengeUSA
@TheMarkLong: Heads up!🗣🗣🗣 @emilylongeretta and I will have SHANNON from #TheChallengeUSA on REALITY RUNDOWN tomorrow night at 9pm est-8pm central only on @SpotifyLive come through and say hello! I’ll post the LIVE LINK tomorrow🥳🥳🥳
@TheChallenge: Y'all got a mitt 🧤 or somethin'? Because this tea is HOT! 🔥 Don't miss #TheChallengeUSA NEXT WEDNESDAY at 9p on @CBS! 🙌
- @iamsalesgirl: @TheChallenge Cashay still carrying the show next week 🥳🥳 CBS you owe her a check, single handedly carried #LoveIslandUSA and she is carrying #TheChallengeUSA less than a year after
@AbbateDomenick: We still here bitches!
- @AbbateDomenick: This win wouldn’t have happened without an assist from the stage from @TheTough_Cinco
- @TheTough_Cinco: @AbbateDomenick Couldn’t see you go this early my man 🙏🏾💯 y’all did the real work though
@JamesWallington: Go give ‘em hell @CashayProudfoot & @AbbateDomenick! 🙌🏻💜 #TheChallengeUSA
@MarilynBeing: Awwwn… my James ! It’s always fun watching you on my tv screen @JamesWallington ! Please Come back to #TheChallengeUSA
@PaulaMengarelli: @JamesWallington You are an amazing individual!!
@ashtonJDE: Crying for Tasha and @JamesWallington my bestie😢😢😢 you both did AMAZING!!! So proud! #TheChallengeUSA
@PhillipLikesTV: You killed it on The Challenge James I’m so proud of you. I can only imagine how intimidating it would be going on that show. @JamesWallington #TheChallengeUSA
@bittterjuror: James one of the best LGBTQIA+ representation on modern Reality TV 🌈 @JamesWallington #TheChallengeUSA
@reality_King_88: I like @JamesWallington because he truly seems humble and he is kind. Good game! #TheChallengeUSA
@Humble_demeanor: We need @JamesWallington back for future seasons. #ChallengeUSA #TheChallengeUSA
@dannydmac44: I mean.. if I can’t get a strategy confessional with my girl @azah_awasum which may have been the best strategy of that challenge…then I guess I’ll settle for a @kikimccrayway reference 🤷🏾♂️
@_DaishaDixon: Nooo @JamesWallington was so entertaining to watch. Brought the strategy and humor. If there’s a season 2 I hope you’re brought back!! #TheChallengeUSA
@Irving_A07: Even more sad to see @JamesWallington go tonight 😭💔 he was the star of the first 3 episodes, the underdog and played an amazing game with the cards he was dealt. Doing The Amazing Race & 🏳️🌈 communities proud ❤️ #TheChallengeUSA #TheChallengeCBS
@AimTidwell1977: @JamesWallington You gave it ALL you had in your tank, and then some James! 💯! I’m so proud of you!! Just as you were on Amazing Race, you’re an “Amazing” person! You played a heck of a game! You should be proud! 😎😁
@wiggitywiggity1: @JamesWallington Sad to see you go! You brought a ton to the show in the three episodes you were there. Hopefully will see you back on The Challenge or The Amazing Race in the future :)
@iicard4: Sad to see @JamesWallington get eliminated 😭, you did amazing! You were a fighter in CW Capture, a fighter in The Amazing Race and one hell of a competitor in #TheChallengeUSA! Thank you so much for that queer representation, makes you want to apply & compete one day! 🔥🏳️🌈
@TomOrangeMouse: #TheChallengeUSA is such a good show but dangit the TAR fan in me is so sad to see @JamesWallington go so early especially after how much of a player he proved to be! If CBS ever does a BB vs TAR Survivor season I would love to see him out in Fiji!
@biodomer: @JamesWallington You totally slayed every second you were on screen, and anyone who didn’t love you was lying to themselves! Can’t wait for the next adventure!
@BarryChou_: @JamesWallington You gave everything you had as a competitor! What an incredible journey for you nonetheless! I know you’ll be back better than ever before! This isn’t the last time that we’ve seen from you! Looking forward to seeing you again soon! 😊💜👊 #TheChallengeUSA
@absolutelytiff: "@TheSaltySal: shan talking about how hard it is to make friends/allies in the game but she hugely contributed to sending home the one person who would have had her back 🤦♀️ #TheChallengeUSA" RT No lies told.
@txkaa1_: I forgot Tiffany was gone, wishing bad on everybody that did her wrong ❤️#TheChallengeUSA
@laurenleti: i still can't believe tiffany went home in week two this sucks #TheChallengeUSA
@nuramme: Anyways Tiffany’s karma James! Thinking you big and bad for going against an elderly woman with a broke ankle! #TheChallengeUSA
@LezbrarianReads: This episode feels blander without Tiffany #TheChallengeUSA
@OTHPod_: I miss Tiffany already 🥺 #TheChallengeUSA
@sarahatwood: I am absolutely gutted by that ending. Two beloved ICONS! Out too soon. 💔#TheChallengeUSA
@stephenfishbach: I'll be filling in on the Ringer podcast with @TysonApostol about #TheChallengeUSA! Quick question, who is Alyssa?
@dawn_rannelli: Yasss it's The Challenge: @TysonApostol edition time! I mean #TheChallengeUSA lol
@dawn_rannelli: I LOVE that @TysonApostol is 43 y/o 6'2 & 165lbs & he's killing these young 20 something jacked up dudes who think they're all that! Get it Tyson! #TheChallengeUSA
@TysonApostol: @lysslopezz I'll ride 12 miles with you any time!
@JamesWallington: @TysonApostol @JanellePierzina Lol Tyson ugghhh!!!!! 😂 you were the best bunk mate ever, I clearly needed you in power for this episode.
@TheAllanAguirre: Can't stop laughing at Shan trying to tell Derek that she doesn't try to play the game that hard 😂😂😂 #TheChallengeUSA
@CFConfessionals: Shan watching Tyson and internally battling with herself. She knows staying loyal to Survivor is the smartest and easiest way to make the Final. Shan also doesn't want to play someone else's game. *starting playing her music* #TheChallengeUSA
@Irving_A07: sThis seems like such a cool daily, I think the Survivors are going to kill it! #TheChallenge #TheChallengeUSA #TheChallengeCBS
@Irving_A07: Me whenever Danny says “my wife Kiki” #TheChallenge #TheChallengeUSA #TheChallengeCBS
@CohenBrian_: My new dream job is to be The Challenge’s Vanna White #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Kiki's name has been mentioned more this season than David #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Dead @ Tyson's Strategizing 😂 #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Congrats to Kyland for being the first guy not named Tyson to win a Daily Challenge this season! Angela once again kills it and gets her second daily win! Big day for Big Brother. #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Dom is one of my favorite Survivor players ever, but man, I think he is really undermining and undervaluing the Love Island girls. Justine won a daily without him, Cashay wasn't bad at all as a partner. He hasn't been a great prize so far. #TheChallengeUSA
@DustyDust017: “I want the best of the best in the finals” No no no send them home #TheChallengeUSA
@CohenBrian_: Getting big “Big Easy quits while Camila has a major meltdown” flashback with this elimination. #TheChallengeUSA
@Irving_A07: Dom is giving me so much anxiety this elimination. PLUG THAT HOLE SIR #TheChallengeUSA #TheChallengeCBS
@Irving_A07: I’m so sad to see Tasha go tonight. She’s such a badass and people didn’t get to see that this season #TheChallengeCBS #TheChallengeUSA
@CohenBrian_: That was a fantastic hour of television. #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Cashay Proudfoot joins Preston Roberson-Charles as players with Lavender Hair to win the 3rd Elimination of the season #TheChallengeUSA
@CFConfessionals: After starting off 0-2, Cashay is the first Love Island player to win an elimination this season! #TheChallengeUSA
@emilylongeretta: Did anyone else think Dom wanted to lose? Why would he just stand next to the plug?? #TheChallengeUSA
@CFConfessionals: Still thinking about this moment 💀💀 #TheChallengeUSA
@CFConfessionals: Dom really came on this show out of shape and is talking about how his wife isn't going to like him partnering with these Love Island Girls and then said they might be the reason loses. Wild. #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: NEW CHALLENGE USA RECAP ---- I breakdown: * Tyson & Angela as the Power Duo, * Dom being a weirdo, * Schemer Shan, * Wheel of Fortune Daily, * Draining Elimination I JUST PUBLISHED: The Challenge USA Episode 3 Recap: 10 Biggest Takeaways #TheChallengeUSA https://t.co/y27GD3OhMo
@TheChallenge: After throwing himself into elimination (and dragging Cashay down with him 😅), Domenick must prove himself in the Arena against Tasha and James. #TheChallengeUSA
@DayDaVonne_: Hey y’all👀 @DevynSimone & I had the absolute pleasure of chatting w/ the strategic king himself @JamesWallington ✨ be sure to listen to our podcast & hear what he had to say about last night’s episode , the cast , and his #TheChallengeUSA experience. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mtvs-official-challenge-podcast/id1541034575?i=1000570673173
@TysonApostol: To those comparing me to those on the "OG" challenge... A lot of them can bench press more than me but 70-80 even 90% of the game I have them crushed. Talking cake walk.
@kylandyoung: Not proud that it took me 11 freaking letters to finish this puzzle 😅, but proud I was physically capable of making that many trips in time to secure the W... 🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️ Thanks for hanging in there, Angela! 🤟🏾 #TheChallengeUSA
@CashayProudfoot: You can’t get rid of me 😈
- @JamesWallington: @CashayProudfoot You tell ‘em babe! 🙌🏻
@CashayProudfoot: Obsessed with @JamesWallington & @missfoxytasha I cried after the elimination bc of how much I love and respect these humans.
- @JamesWallington: Love you so much @CashayProudfoot! 🥺 No matter what would’ve happened, this elimination sucked. 💜 Glad you got our money, now give ‘em hell babe. #TheChallengeUSA
@wendellholland: Tonight was a toughy. I LOVE @missfoxytasha and @JamesWallington IRL. And James has really been showing up this season. Sad to see them go for sure, and I’d love to see them both back. #TheChallengeUSA
@zachwurt: @JamesWallington Great game, you got a couple of bad breaks but never stopped fighting!
@romeoesco2: @JamesWallington I’m proud of you king 💙 #TheChallengeUSA #thechallenge
@KellieWellz: @JamesWallington you are loved, supported, and everything else in between! You are a total rockstar and the challenge and any other show should be happy to have you! I LOVE YOU!!!!
@TheDerekFrazier: Where is the drama on #TheChallengeUSA , it’s definitely not giving #TheChallenge #MTV vibes. I need some arguments and fighting
- @RealityRadioPod: @TheDerekFrazier Tiffany’s missing presence is noticeable 😒 #TheChallengeUSA
@TheDerekFrazier: Hey @JamesWallington you did great !! I am so proud of you !#TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: What a wild ride #TheChallengeUSA has been. My journey was cut short but I believe things happen for a reason 💜. I know I had more to give as a competitor & this won’t be the last you see of me 😏 I promise you that! Thank you for the love & support y’all 🫶🏻, it means a lot.
@JamesWallington: As a fan of Reality TV, I never thought after #AmazingRace that I’d eventually be on @TheChallenge. 💥 It was a weird childhood dream come true 🥰. Although it had some ups & downs, I loved the opportunity. Thank you @CBS & everyone who believed in me. 💜 #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: I’m feeling a little emotional. 🥺 Ya’ll have no idea how much this experience meant to me as a Reality TV fan but more importantly as a gay man. 💜 I wanted go into this competing hard & giving it everything that I had. I hope you felt my passion throughout 🔥! #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Shout out to the cast of #TheChallengeUSA 🥰 From intense games of Mafia to late night convos around the fire… THANK YOU for the memories & making this experience what it was for me. 💜 I’ve got mad respect & love for everyone. Can’t wait to see who takes home the USA title. 🇺🇸
@JamesWallington: Last thing I’ll say before my exit press tomorrow… 🥰 I love @LeoTemory & @Cayla_Platt_. The bond we formed was unbreakable. Team #AmazingRace for life & I’m so glad we got to share this experience together. 💜 #TheChallengeUSA I wish you were able to see more of our bond!
@JamesWallington: On my way to watch the episode on the west coast with @LeoTemory! 🥰 #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Alright West Coast, who’s watching #TheChallengeUSA?! 🤩 I’m currently with @DesiJWilliams @LeoTemory @derekxiao_ & @kylandyoung! 🙌🏻
@JamesWallington: Ok y’all, you asked me to share the 3rd option being deliberated but then you take it the wrong way & try to cause a problem! 😂 I deleted my tweets & will explain/articulate in my exit press tomorrow. #TheChallengeUSA 💜
@williamjardell: Does @JamesWallington have an issue with Leo’s? First @leoebfolsom and now @LeoTemory ?? Wait I’m a #Leo am I next?! #TheChallengeUSA 😂
- @JamesWallington: @williamjardell Not my husband causing social media drama after my elimination episode… 😂 #TheChallengeUSA WATCH OUT HUBBY, it’s almost Leo season. 👏🏻
@RealityRadioPod: There should be a casting theme for #TheChallengeUSA 2nd season… Battle of the seasons, Rivals, Heroes vs Villains… something to drive the storylines/narrative.
- @JamesWallington: I could not agree more with this 🙌🏻 If we get a Season 2, I’d love a good theme & even number casting for each show 🫣. Battle of the Shows would be iconic, especially coming off this season & seeing how show lines play a huge part on the politics. #TheChallengeUSA ✨
@JamesWallington: Don’t worry y’all, I have a lot to say, a lot to share & it’ll all come out in my exit press tomorrow. STAY TUNED! 💜 #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Lol. @missfoxytasha & I are having way too much fun with these Exit Interviews, ugh I love her & the energy she brings 💜😍. #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Mood 💜 It was a fun ride but I’ve said my peace & cleared the air on a lot of things in my exit interviews. ✨ I encourage you to check them out if you want more context. 🤗 Thanks again for the love & support. Who knows what the future holds. #TheChallengeUSA

As we are still continuing in the mourning process, I have yet to watch episode 4 as our family has been holding nightly prayers at our house, and I have taken time to spend quality time with my inner circle. In that spirit, next week we'll have a Pulse doubleheader to cover both this and next week's episodes -- and it will include what is always the favorite day on TJ Lavin's calendar: trivia.
In the meantime: next up here, we'll head down to South Beach as the lone MTV vet on this Challenge cast joins one of those who was in that spot as a rookie four years ago swaps her bad girl persona for a walk down the runway... and they're not alone in MTV's takeover of the week where Miami is at the heart of the swimsuit world. We'll see you then.
