We welcome you back Inside MTV Reality @ DCBLOG, and again we thank those of you who continue to support this site while also being mindful of the present situation of the blogger. Yesterday (Aug. 23rd) marked one month since the passing of my dad, and this weekend private funeral services will take place as my whole family will all gather to say a final farewell. We hope you share our understanding in that blog content that usually goes out here in a timely manner is being temporarily scaled back to allow for me to spend as much quality family time as possible... but as we draw nearer to the fall TV season, our regular blog coverage will soon return full-blast with all the quality content you come to expect. Now, onward with the business at hand...

This summer in Challenge Nation has belonged to one show -- The Challenge's first trip into the world of network TV in The Challenge: USA has certainly been quite the inaugural season of this spinoff. Last time we were in Argentina (and in this site's calendar, ten days ago), the game started to get a bit more mouth-watering... and it's not officially a Challenge until TJ Lavin becomes a quizmaster as he unleashed his annual game of trivia to the CBS alumni. There, Alyssa served up that cold dish known as revenge at the last man standing of The Cookout in Xavier... and then Tyson laid claim to being odds-on favorite in this season by slaying a swimming daily and setting up an arena that sent Cinco to the showers and shockwaves throughout the Argentinian compound.

The Sole Survivor/master of a first pitch fastball might have an easy time with this game thanks to how he's been beasting these dailies, but after pulling off that blindside he will now to maneuver through those bumps in the road -- and that includes what he has to deal with in the next two episodes we're covering: a partner who is less than 100% and one who might not be the best partner for him despite their common show link. Tyson and co. will all have to get through two challenges above the water and then having to drive with blindfolds on as sabotage, choices and surprises, along with another Teej-bomb dominate Weeks 6 & 7... and we'll have it all covered on here next on the DCBLOG Challenge Pulse before Episode 8 airs in just a few hours from now. And welcome to VMA Week, kiddies...

@DustyDust017: Kiki is honestly the star of #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: I feel so bad for Kyra. Kyra has killed every daily so far with bad partners, and the week she gets Tyson, she is sick and her body gives out on her. #TheChallengeUSA
@CohenBrian_: I’m excited to be with David because David is excited to be with me.”  Gotta be how Ali feels every time we press record. #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Yet aother week where Justine is left disappointed by a partner from Big Brother  #TheChallengeUSA
@j_medd: David & Desi won?! Is David redeeming himself from Big Brother #TheChallengeUSA #TheChallenge
@TheAllanAguirre: Desi Williams is absolutely stunning. That's the tweet. #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Desi finally gets a daily win after multiple Top 3 finishes! David! Holy hell, I never expected him to win any comp that involved anything physical or mental and now he's the first guy not named Tyson/Kyland to win a Daily. Good for him. #TheChallengeUSA
@CFConfessionals: Enzo sitting by himself on the floor like a kid who dropped his Ice Cream Cone and is trying their best not to cry  #TheChallengeUSA
@Irving_A07: I love the way David hypes up Queen Justine every chance he gets. Bless him!! ❤️ #TheChallengeUSA
@j_medd: Disappointing to see Enzo give up/quit ! One of my favorites. At least he’s ready for elimination #TheChallenge #TheChallengeUSA
@Irving_A07: You can tell how much fun TJ is and how excited he gets to see these people compete. He needs a break from the lame-o’s on the main show!! #TheChallengeUSA
@Irving_A07: Bittersweet because one of my Queens won while the other one is going home ❤️πŸ’” much love to you both @JustineJoy312 @shannonsaint3 #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Congrats to Justine! First player to win 2 Eliminations this season. Also, Cynical is the word of the day. #TheChallengeUSA
@RealityTvJarred: Alyssa talking shit about David’s move when she had to ask Angela’s permission to make her move against Xavier. #TheChallengeUSA
@Irving_A07: Justine 2-0 in eliminations, won a daily and is the second richest woman in the compound right now. The Justine supremacy continues #QueenThings #TheChallengeUSA
@CFConfessionals: Tbh, Desi coming in 1st and Justine coming in last in the daily challenge is an all-around win because we get more gorgeous confessional looks from them. #TheChallengeUSA

@absolutelytiff: What a time to be alive. Such a wonderful time with wonderful people. Thank you all for making this special for me ❤️ #bb23 #HappyBirthday
@yagottadigdeep: Honestly the encouragement & support @TysonApostol has given his partners is real (even if its just because he needs them to not lose)
@trippinonlsb: .@TysonApostol:“if someone tried to get me out I would say, ‘good try’ and shake their hand”  Also Tyson: “I would spend the rest of my game seeking revenge on the people who went against me” #TheChallengeUSA
@CashayProudfoot: Why am I like this 
@AMikeBloomType: Had a really fun #TheChallengeUSA talk this afternoon with @derekxiao_ and @shannonsaint3! We get into the extent of Shannon's injury, Derek clarifies the Cookout "revenge" narrative, and we get a big twist in last week's "Condomgate": https://t.co/3296ZcEDZM
@WestonBergmann: Challenge USA: it’s okay to be fearful of water after childhood trauma or educational neglect. There are inexpensive specialists in your area that will help you with this. I will even help pay for it.
@ChallengeStats: I just replicated 'The Algorithm' of #TheChallengeUSA and it's absurd the amount of permutations that ensure zero partner repetitions on week 6, it's quite scandalous @TheChallenge 1816 combinations ensured that no one had to repeat partners like Angela and @AbbateDomenick did
- @JamesWallington: I understood why the Algorithm existed but this is precisely why I hated the format. I didn’t trust it. But I appreciated the attempt & why they tried it. #TheChallengeUSA πŸ‘€ Just like any operating system & form of tech, nothing is 100% perfect... there will always be flaws. 🀷🏻‍♂️

@impersonality: @TysonApostol is terrifying, and I mean that in the highest regard. πŸ™ŒπŸ»
@TheChallenge: The stakes are MASSIVE πŸ’₯, and the pressure is ON 🟒 to qualify for TJ's Final. 😀 Nobody's safe when #TheChallengeUSA airs WEDNESDAYS at 9/8c on @CBS!

@TheAllanAguirre: Weekly Reminder that Desi Williams is one of the most stunning human beings on the planet. #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Leo lost 43,000 Dollars in one weekend and had to live in a house where he had to listen to Sarah Lacina. I would have definitely left if I were him. Respect to him for staying for Alyssa. #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Cayla seems like an absolutely delightful human and she crushed this week's daily challenge. The Amazing Race sense of direction and urgency really came into play in this challenge. #TheChallengeUSA
@CFConfessionals: Sarah talking about this being her daily challenge because she takes Driving Classes as a Cop  What does she do? Flop again.  7 Dailies in and she's the only woman in the game without a Top 3 Daily Challenge finish.  #TheChallengeUSA
@Irving_A07: The Challenge cast gets to live out one of my childhood dreams πŸ₯Ή #TheChallengeUSA #TheChallengeCBS #TheChallenge
@TheAllanAguirre: Dom talking about wanting to get vengeance on the people who threw him into elimination when he basically volunteered?????? #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: I've watched too much Final Destination because this elimination has me way too anxious. I know Kyland has a helmet, but that's a 25 lb ball, what if Kyra accidentally drops it 😭 #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Leo & Alyssa eliminating Kyland & Kyra is genuinely one of the biggest elimination upsets I've ever seen live. #TheChallengeUSA
@Brian_Scally: Somehow despite coming in with 6 BB23 cast members all but 1 have gone home #TheChallengeUSA
@cinnamongerru: Danny calling Justine the MVP of the season so true!! #TheChallengeUSA
@valerie_galery: hope dom never told Kyland abt any of his nephews #TheChallengeUSA
@CFConfessionals: Not Danny throwing Kiki under the bus as a bad drive lmfao  #TheChallengeUSA
@ChallengeStats: RIP the algorithm πŸ’” There were zero chances for no repetitions in the next episode of #TheChallengeUSA  The 'fairest' pair distribution should've been: Enzo & Cayla, Leo & Cashay, Tyson & Desi, Ben & Angela, Danny & Sarah, Domenick & Alyssa, David & Justine (repeat)
- @ChallengeStats: So I just calculated all the possible combinations of #TheChallengeUSA #Algorithm that avoids pair repetition for today's episode  Here are all the pairings, and since the pairs are already known I will try to analyze them

@TheChallenge: I can't believe this elimination came down to how many albums Adele has πŸ˜‚ #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: I'd go on a road trip with these ladies in a HEARTBEAT πŸ₯° #TheChallengeUSA
@itskimwebster: Just catching up on #TheChallengeUSA & it's too bad that the CBS episodes are only 60 min. There was way more drama, scheming & messiness than there has been time to show & the fans are missing out. (PS there is nothing I can do about it so please don't @ meπŸ˜‚)
@johnnybananas: 🚨AND WE’RE BACK🚨On this episode Tyson “Twitter Fingers” Apostle joins me to discuss @thechallenge USA his history on Survivor, and gives an update on who hacked his Twitter 🧐 On and ALL NEW Death, Taxes, and Bananas πŸ’€πŸ’°πŸŒ spotify.com @ringer @tysonapostol
@WestonBergmann: Whoever gave TJ a checkered flag last night deserves a raise #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: I really wish I would’ve lasted longer. The challenges after my elimination were more in my wheel house. πŸ₯Ί #TheChallengeUSA I had more to give.
@JamesWallington: My strategy for this would be to gang up on one partnership. That way you secure which team is going into elimination. #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: I’m so beyond proud of @Cayla_Platt_! Way to go girl, you represent #AmazingRace so well! You took control & you were dominant the entire time. #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: This challenge is fun but it’s a total buzzkill when most teams get eliminated for wrecking their car. 🀷🏻‍♂️ #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Y’all, this shit NEEDS a reunion show. Let’s give the fans & viewers what they really want. #TheChallengeUSA πŸ˜‚
@JamesWallington: Oh look… another elimination challenge where the partnership gets to WORK TOGETHER… not separated in two parts or by a water tank & a drain. 🀦🏻‍♂️ SMH. So irritating, not gonna lie. #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: I hate that the questions are different for both sides. #TheChallengeUSA In the spirit of fairness, it should’ve been the same. 🀷🏻‍♂️
@JamesWallington: WAY TO GO @LeoTemory & @lysslopezz! πŸ€©πŸ™ŒπŸ» Y’all crushed that shit. Ya’ll keep making a name for yourselves & nobody should count you out. #TheChallengeUSA πŸ’œ
@JamesWallington: Yessss! I absolutely love seeing a power move actually be made on #TheChallengeUSA, it’s about damn time. We love to see it! Nice work @Cayla_Platt_ & @AbbateDomenick so proud of y’all. πŸ˜πŸ’œ
@JamesWallington: It was an absolute pleasure competing alongside Kyra & @kylandyoung! ✨ Both of y’all are incredibly strong competitors. Good game, you should be proud. Welcome to the club. #TheChallengeUSA πŸ₯ΊπŸ«ΆπŸ»
@kylandyoung: "I don't want to run a final with Kyland." Music to my ears!!! πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°  Prepare to hear this said everytime I compete. #TheChallengeUSA
@kylandyoung: I Love you all!! ❤️❤️❤️ #TheChallengeUSA

After what we saw with Alyssa & Leo taking down Kyland & Kyra, Tyson surviving both the Islander and Sarah, and the random pairings now going out the door, things are about to get crazy. And on the topic of the Survivor kid, on the next edition of ExtraTime we'll delve into his favorite sport... and if you didn't watch football last weekend, then you an idea of what this is all about there.

Meanwhile, as you saw up above the MTV Video Music Awards are this weekend... and that means the DCNOW Twitter hub which has been taking a vacation from live tweeting The Challenge this summer will be activated once again. Be sure to join me on Sunday at 7:30PM ET at @DC408DxNow as New York City plays host to the big show, and we'll have all the buzz from the Big Apple along with another edition of DC Playlist... sure missed getting to live tweet during this tough summer for me.

For now, we leave you on that football note with Mr. MTV getting to play with the Super Bowl champs... enjoy tonight, Challenge Nation.
