Hello again everyone, we have made it to the summer solstice: the official transition from summer to fall on the meteorological calendar... though it is a bit deceiving if you live out in California and Nevada as the endless summer weather continues for quite a bit into October. But this is that time of year that those in TV land look forward to the most: this is fall premiere week & summer finale week in the broadcast TV calendar... and we are in the homestretch drive of this first trip to terrestrial network television of MTV's The Challenge, as The Challenge: USA on CBS reaches its climax.

Last time we covered this all-Eye network version of the MTV show you love, the game was turned upside down again as "The Algorithm" -- the method of mixing up the players into different pairs in the season's first two months -- was put on the sidelines for the rest of the season, which meant the players had to play for themselves the rest of the way. Week 8 saw Angela take on the role of being in power but also had to be the latest to deal with Sarah, while Enzo and Leo fought in the latest edition of Hall Brawl that saw the one with the bald head win arena #2. And Week 9 saw the emergence of the Fab Five - Casha, Cayla, Desi, Justine and Sarah as they tackled a daily in a soccer stadium, and where Desi won & Sarah burned out... but the Sole Survivor came away victorious when she needed it the most.

Whenever we reach that last episode of any Challenge season before the finale challenge, DCBLOG likes to refer to it as "Semifinal Week," and as we return to Argentina the onus is on those competitors who haven't yet won a daily challenge to get the job done. And it's not officially a Challenge in this age without seeing competitors hop onto a moving semi-wheeler and trying to maneuver their way through a runway and a puzzle at top speed to land the last ticket into TJ Lavin's favorite time of any season. And for one ruthless player, they're reserving this last week of the regular season try and put two allies against one another to earn their way to the arena and another timeless classic: Balls In. Whoever wins in the season's last female elimination and this daily challenge will get closer to the $500k.

Join us after the break as DCBLOG brings you the 'Pulse of Semifinal Week on The Challenge USA, and stay with us afterwards as we give you a first glimpse at Baby Swayleigh. Welcome on in, fans...

@CSUGradAkirk: The challenge hasn’t had a strong female villain probably since laurels first three seasons. Sarah is playing info her role of the female villain absolutely flawlessly and has been fun to watch! #ChallengeUSA

@TheChallenge: Yall ever try to climb across the side of a truck before? 😬 Don't miss the last episode before the final, tonight at 9/8c on @CBS! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ  #TheChallengeUSA
@AbbateDomenick: #TheChallengeUSA tonight!
@JamesWallington: Ya’ll… FINALLY taking the Bali trip we won on #AmazingRace, leaving this weekend. πŸ™ŒπŸ» Sadly, Will won’t be able to join me so I’m going with one of my best friends. 🀩✨ IM SO EXCITED.

AS THEY SAW IT: Semifinal Week  
@TheChallenge: We're just ️⃣ episode away from #TheChallengeUSA season finale and it starts NOW on @CBS! πŸ”₯ (GIF: Enzo - "Things are heating up!")
@JamesWallington: Alright y'all, who's watching? πŸ‘€ #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: I just know Kiki would be a GREAT motivational speaker 😀 πŸ‘ #TheChallengeUSA (Video: Danny - "In my daily life, I would not put myself at risk, so everything I've done here on The Challenge is out of my norm. Am I excited to do it? Yes. Am I scared? Hell yes. Kiki would tell me you better go out and kill it.")
- @dannydmac44: TRUE!
@TheChallenge: Watching these dailies from my couch as if I can do it myself 😫 #TheChallengeUSA (GIF: Alyssa - "What they did was clearly wrong,")
@TheChallenge: Frazzling to find the unmute button during a zoom call πŸ’» #TheChallengeUSA (GIF: Cayla - "It was 5 seconds of pure utter embarrassment.")
@JamesWallington: Here's a flaw I see with #TheChallengeUSA & this format 🀷‍♂️... I mean, if you already have money to qualify for the final & it's not your elimination round, what's the point of even doing The Challenge? 🀣 Like what exactly is at stake...
@JamesWallington: Anyone else kind of bored with this daily challenge? πŸ₯± Not to be a hater, but... yeah. πŸ’€ Is anyone actually going to complete this? #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Kudos to Queen Angela, she slayed that daily & the only one to do so. πŸ™Œ No one can argue that she has earned her spot & deserves to be in TJ's final. πŸ’œ @TheChallenge #TheChallengeUSA
@dannydmac44: Angela is a BEAST!!
@TheChallenge: Imagine getting praises like THIS from TJ πŸ‘€ Adding it to my Christmas list rn 🎁 #TheChallengeUSA (Video of him commending Angela on being the only one to complete the last regular season daily)
@TheChallenge: I can feeeeeel the tension oooozingggg through my screen right now #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Angela speaking truth when it comes to her thought process for this elimination πŸ‘€... #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: Mood #TheChallengeUSA  (GIF: David - "What?")
@TheChallenge: I need a book solely dedicated to Enzo’s sayings πŸ“˜ #TheChallengeUSA  (Video)
@TheChallenge: TJ and I are wondering the SAME THING 😳 #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: It all comes down to this 😰 #TheChallengeUSA  (GIF: TJ - "You are this close to the final.")
@JamesWallington: Show lines shouldn't matter! 🀯 That was the entire point of this Algorithm. I love that Angela is playing her own game and toeing the line. #TheChallengeUSA
@JamesWallington: Oh look... πŸ˜’ Another elimination that requires bodily contact & force... Once again, it may be an unpopular opinion, but my LEAST favorite type of challenge. πŸ’€ #TheChallengeUSA Eliminations should be a balance of brain & brawn because you need both to win TJ's final.
@JamesWallington: I'm sorry y'all, but this is soooooo πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€
@TheTough_Cinco: Me in this elimination πŸ˜ͺ…that’s the tweet… #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: "@galaxticglow: This battle intense af #TheChallengeUSA" RT They're not holding back tonight! πŸ₯΅πŸ”₯ #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: Me rn: #TheChallengeUSA
@DMDM0212: enzo: i hate it the rich get richer…this mf won a million dollars doing whatever the f he wants & he looks like Jesus Christ   Jesus Christ:  #TheChallengeUSA
@TheChallenge: See if these Challengers can keep up with TJ's final πŸ’₯ NEXT WEDNESDAY during the 2-hour SEASON FINALE of #TheChallengeUSA at 9p on @CBS! 😈
@JamesWallington: Y'all... #TheChallengeUSA FINALLY comes to an end next week. 🀯 Can you believe it? Idk about you, but I'm soooo ready & excited for #Survivor, as well as #AmazingRace. πŸ™ŒπŸ’œ In my opinion, the best reality competition shows!
@JamesWallington: Hot take. πŸ™ŒπŸ» I really wish that #TheChallengeUSA would’ve been more like #TheChallengeAllStars, in terms of challenges & overall format. πŸ’œ Thoughts?
- @adamoboe623: @JamesWallington I like USA much better. I hate the high amounts of drama on the flagship and Allstate show, and I like that there is very little focus on that in the USA version.
- @JamesWallington: @adamoboe623 I like USA because of the cast. It’s people from shows I love. I don’t need drama, I want game play. I feel like the format we saw on Season 3 of All Stars would’ve been so great for USA & more individual. I also enjoy the challenges more on All Stars.
- @The_Cerise_Hood: @JamesWallington I think the way they did it this season was the best as it introduced the contestants and the format quite well. Normal Challenge fans and people who didn't watch every show (namely Love Island -) got to know the players while CBS fans got to know the format in a way that worked.
- @JamesWallington: I hated the format & algorithm.
- @lordsquidy13: @JamesWallington I agree, All Stars was so much fun because challenges were more unique with a consistent focus on team chemistry over strength. That’s why I loved older seasons of the Challenge too - more variety in types of challenges made for more fun surprises!
- @hotshot_bb: @JamesWallington I think I enjoyed the CBS version way more than All Stars.
- @JamesWallington: @hotshot_bb Interesting! What aspects do you enjoy more?
@JamesWallington: To clarify, I mean no shade with any tweets. πŸ₯° I love watching & I’m proud of my friends… but I’ve been off the show for weeks & removed enough to be able to watch as a viewer & fan. πŸ™ŒπŸ» I’m just sharing opinions, even if they’re not popular to the masses. #TheChallengeUSA πŸ’œ

@TheAllanAguirre: I really like Justine's jacket. Those are my thoughts on the episode after 25 minutes. #TheChallengeUSA
@Irving_A07: What Angela lacks in personality, she makes up for by being an amazing competitor. She kills it every time! πŸ’ͺ🏻 #TheChallengeUSA #TheChallengeCBS
@TheAllanAguirre: Angela continues to be an utter badass. The only player regardless of gender to complete the daily challenge and did it with relative ease. A great display of strategy, strength, coordination, and fearlessness. #TheChallengeUSA
- @MelB71574: @TheAllanAguirreI think Tyson figured out what he did wrong and gave Angela the tip
- @TheAllanAguirre: She was winning regardless. Nobody has her sense of balance or core strength. At the very least she would have made it the farthest
@Irving_A07: Sorry Ben, this is Angela’s world - you’re just living in it 🀷🏻‍♂️ #TheChallenge #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Angela continues to be an utter badass. The only player regardless of gender to complete the daily challenge and did it with relative ease. A great display of strategy, strength, coordination, and fearlessness. #TheChallengeUSA

@CohenBrian_: I don’t even need to podcast with Ali tonight to know exactly how she’s going to feel about this daily. #TheChallengeUSA
@CFConfessionals: David and Enzo are WAY TOO SHOCKED to find out they're facing each other in elimination. How could they not think Angela was riding with the Survivor guys when she's been doing that the entire season. #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: I need whatever self-confidence books that David is reading. Bro is saying he wants to face Tyson in elimination. I kinda respect it. #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Once again, your weekly reminder that Desi Williams is one of the most gorgeous and breathtaking humans on the planet. #TheChallengeUSA
@TheAllanAguirre: Enzo Palumbo joins Brittany Baldasarri from Exes 2 as players to win 3 Eliminations in one season where I walk away thinking: "Boy, they still really aren't good competitors."   Congrats to Enzo on making the Final though!  #TheChallengeUSA
@DerrickMTV: Enzo’s the FUKN MAN! That’s it! That’s the tweet! #TheChallengeUSA πŸ™Œ
@lashtweets: Who are you rooting for on the #thechallengeUSA (not who do you think will win but who are you ROOTING for)? If OTHER - please reply

@CFConfessionals: I might get flamed for this, but honest to God, the male cast on The Challenge USA is so weak that I fully believe these 4 Men who have never been to a Challenge Final would be Top 4-5 guys on the CBS show. (I think Tyson, Danny, Kyland are legit good).  #TheChallengeUSA

@TinaBarta: Crazy to be considered a "vet" that has comeback to the "Reality TV" tidal wave. It didn't fill my pockets. It brought much needed perspective & clarity. That is true wealth.  #TheChallengeAllStars #WeWantOGs #TheChallenge @BunimMurray @paramountplus
@blakers33: Just met *the* OG @challengeteamtv legend @TheMarkLong at my gym of all places. Real nice guy and took a minute to talk. Thanks man! Really made my day as a huge fan!
- @TinaBarta: @blakers33 @TheMarkLong You should have put #TheChallengeAllStars on every TV and monitor at the gym.  🀣. Then you will see him get hyped and possibly yell out LFG! Scaring the shit out of everyone standing around him
@GamerVev: Challenge All Stars >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Challenge USA > The Challenge MTV  & that’s the true tea!
- @thechallenget: @GamerVev i’m sorry but swap mtv and usa
- @GamerVev: @thechallenget The last like 5 seasons of MTV version have been atrocious. CBS was good, just boring af due to no drama and unlikable ppl making it far.
- @MikeyTBH: @GamerVev I thought I was gonna hate The Challenge USA because I didn’t know a single casted challenger on there (I don’t watch any of the shows they come from). Even then, it was still so much better than these flops the MTV Challenge keeps trying to force on us the last few seasons. πŸ₯΄
- @annelonius: @MikeyTBH I really enjoyed it.
- @Redtea50672019: @GamerVev Challenge USA blessed us with the Challenge God Tyson himself πŸ™. Challenge mtv is just a bunch of friends hanging out now, it's not even a competition show any more.
- @deathbyzingbot: @Redtea50672019 Mtv could have and should have casted Tyson a long time ago but they obviously favor the bb cast for some reason. Survivor is so much more comparable to the challenge. Idk why they cast so many bb players on mtv

MEET ALORA LEIGH

As you saw above, there is a new addition to the prospective Challenge draft class for the 2040's: it seems we have been blessed with a slew of babies that those in Challenge Nation have given birth to in the past several years. And in this case, make it also a new Big Brother baby too.

It was four years ago next Monday night that Bayleigh Dayton and Chris "Swaggy C" Williams got engaged on the finale of Angela's Big Brother 20 season. But it was in the exit interviews that followed that summer of 2018 that we learned that she had gotten pregnant while in the jury house, but would later miscarry that baby. But there is always some sort of silver lining to a traumatic story like this, and to any fairytale that occurs in a reality TV environment (one that included a trip to The Challenge: Total Madness), and on Memorial Day weekend Bayleigh and Chris announced that they were expecting once again.

Bay wrote in her last IG post before welcoming her first kid in a baby girl, "You are the epitome of what it means to have a partner. You show up for us and our family in a way that is immeasurable. Thank you for allowing me to carry your child and carry on our bloodlines 🀍. This experience with you has been so beautiful. You are everything to me. Thank you for giving me the greatest gift that I’ve ever had. Motherhood is for me 🀍."

Over the summer, Swayleigh exchanged the Southern California lifestyle for that outside the continuous 48 states in Puerto Rico. But on the evening of August 1st with them expecting at any time, Bay went into labor... but instead of driving over to a local hospital she and Chris opted instead to have them welcome their new baby at their home. And below is how it all happened...



The couple captioned below in their Instagram post that welcomed the new kiddo, "A love like none I've ever experienced. I have searched my whole life to feel this full of purpose. I genuinely feel a renewed sense of self. I am thanking God for a healthy, beautiful baby that is full of light and love πŸ€πŸ™πŸΎ
I'm so glad I took my time sharing her. She's so perfect! she has the most piercing grey/blue eyes. Her smiles are contagious and her energy has really just healed me. I didn't think anything I did mattered anymore. But, I can tell you for sure that this matters. She matters. Help me welcome Miss Alora Leigh Williams to the world ! La princesa de lugar de mamΓ‘ y papa πŸ‘‘πŸ™πŸΎ" And welcome, Alora Leigh.




Ahead: it's Finale Night of The Challenge USA... and brace yourself, you don't want to miss how everyone got to see what you might call the "How I Met Your Mother" of all reality competition show finales. But before we delve into that last act, ExtraTime will head up to Jersey to see how a few Stars & many others got to experience the night that traditionally wraps the summer music season. Stay with us as we head to the VMA's in Jersey just ahead when we return...
