It might be a bit late than we thought but on this 11/11 Veteran's Day (and Remembrance Day in Canada & Britain) we welcome you to the month of November around here, which also doubles as birthday month for this blogger -- and in fact, #DCBDay Weekend is now underway. And in the reality TV world, we're into the last weeks at the Bachelor in Paradise Mexican casa, the field for the live shows are now finalized on The Voice, and we are early into Season 38 of MTV's The Challenge: Ride or Dies.

When we were last in Argentina -- and trust us it's been a LONG time in the clock of this DCBLOG site, it was Week 2 of the new season when many a twist were thrown by TJ Lavin including him bringing out Johnny Bananas & Nany at the end of that first elimination... and they didn't waste any time getting back into the groove of things when they won that second daily game. For two players who were entering their third starts at this, there was more bad news for Nam to swallow when he couldn't even get to compete at all after the bolting of his partner... and Turbo returned from three years away resuming his old tricks, and he dared to go into elimination -- only to come up short in his first arena trip.

Also in week 2, Tori opened up about the struggles she has had with her mental health... but at night's end she was given the ultimate reality check when, after Olivia & Horacio sent Turbo home, she saw both her ex and her fellow podcast host enter the arena. It's that latest late & surprise entrance of Jordan & Aneesa that, as we return to South America, brings into focus what happened to them since we saw that proposal on War of the Worlds 2. On the game front, two totally rookie pairs try to find allies and survive a grueling trip up & down the countryside carrying barrels... while inside the house one player may find himself back in the love side of things. And we get a totally different take on a timeless Challenge classic: Hall Brawl being mixed with a symbol of the jolly folks across the Pond.

After the break, we embark on a bumpy ride through love and battle on Week 3 of the DCBLOG Season 38 Challenge Pulse... and we'll also let you in on another kind of love affair: a standout rookie from this summer's CBS Challenge who might've been a good candidate for this MTV season with her very own Ride or Die. Welcome back and thanks for joining us, and welcome to the weekend...


EDITOR'S NOTE...   
A note to begin: this Week 3 post is coming later than planned as this one here is not only working on these posts at a leisurely pace, but also at the same time I've worked on my latest Coast to Coast vlogs on DC YouTube -- which this week featured a trip inside Alcatraz Island and a drive around San Francisco. You can check out those and my other videos at YouTube.com/dc408dxtr, as well as my DC Vegas XI series which took place a year ago next week... keep an eye out for a look ahead at what's next there during this birthday weekend.

- @ravyn_rochelle: @NurysKMateo AHHH BITCH BYEEE ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
- @xoheartinohioxo: @NurysKMateo She's just so cringe! Like girl, have some self respect!! He hasn't played with her feelings or lead her on, it's not fair for her to get pissy with him because he doesn't return her feelings. She agreed to do the challenge with him despite this, she needs to grow up ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ‍♀️
@TheChallenge: the music is hitting ๐Ÿ‘€ #TheChallenge38
@acap_8586: Why did they have to play that music during Tori and Jordan's conversation ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ damn got me! #TheChallenge38 @TheChallenge

@TheChallenge: Who do we think is getting eliminated??? ๐Ÿ‘€ #TheChallenge38

@jaychallenge1: Omg olivia is strong af #TheChallenge38
@scorpihoe21: We’re gonna lose a stacked, entertaining rookie team because of WHO…MESSY FESSY. #TheChallenge38
- @fessyfitness: @scorpihoe21 Sorry but those were two beast rookie teams and we were playing ball with the vets for now.
@fessyfitness: That 2nd round by Johnny was wild. He was on his knees beat twice . That man really wanted to be here, and for that I knew how dangerous he could be. I gotta admit that was impressive by Horacio & Oliva.
@AneesaMTV: What a fight. Amazing elimination.
@ravyn_rochelle: I’m heart broken ❤️‍๐Ÿฉน
@ravyn_rochelle: This fool really said he forgot about her ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ i really hate men
@AneesaMTV: Liv and Horacio just did that!!! #challenge38
@moriahjadea: Not sure what I can and can’t say because of the ending of this episode …. ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿคฉ
@NurysKMateo: Drama and all, I begged people to switch shoes with Ravyn. Colleen ended up giving her shoes up and all!
@jaychallenge1: Johnny said fessy has the nerve to ask him for a haircut the day he voted them in LMFAOOOOOOO
@jaychallenge1: Ooop ravyn said she feels like her and Johnny were way faster than moriah and fessy in that daily ๐Ÿ‘€☕️ i smell a rig
- @moriahjadea: @jaychallenge1 Lies told on Twitter
@NathanKelly90: Hate to sound like a broken record but @oliviakaiserxo and Horacio are the realest ride or dies #TheChallenge38
@_StephenLien_: Look out y’all. The #LoveIsland ladies are here to PLAY. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ @oliviakaiserxo @JustineJoy312 |#TheChallenge #TheChallenge38
- @AKSHAW_: @_StephenLien_ As a big Challenge/BB/Survivor fan and someone who watched Love Island but didn't really care about it (no disrespect), I was disappointed there was so many Love Island people cast on Challenge CBS. Man they proved me wrong. Olivia and Justine especially
@jaychallenge1: Not she called me out LMAOOO ily moriah ๐Ÿ˜‚
@MTVDevinWalker: Favorite moment of ep 3 fire away
@moriahjadea: I may not say much in my confessionals (for a lot of reasons you’ll find out later) but I regret that so much!!! So all I can do is say how I feel now and move forward.
@moriahjadea: All I can say is .. being in the challenge house and experiencing that you have so many up and down moments and other moments where you’re like FUUUUCK Lemme try again ๐Ÿ˜ซ. I’ve done things I’m proud of and other things I’m not proud of. It’s all a learning experience
@JustCpalmer: what’s y’all opinions on episode 3๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ #TheChallenge #TheChallengeRideorDies #TheChallenge38 @TheChallenge
@Humble_demeanor: If I was In charge of casting for season 39. This chaotic cast would entertain us. Throw Tori, Jonna, MJ and CT in mid season. Who’s qualifying for the final? ๐Ÿ’€ #TheChallenge38 #TheChallenge @GamerVev #TheChallengeRideorDies #grenade #redemptionhouse #redskull
@d_e_r_e_kc: What the fuck is up with the turtle necks every season? #TheChallenge38
@moriahjadea: Ok wait no lmaooooo jay came in the room to laugh at stories with Analyse and i every night and one night he tried smashing in bed with analyse and i and we were smashed and laughed. ๐Ÿ˜‚ friendship vibes. 
@TheAllanAguirre: Extremely excited to watch long-time best friends Aneesa & Jordan to compete together  #TheChallenge38
@Irving_A07: Why are we catering to Aneesa with someone who’s not even her ride or die? What happened to her original ride or die and why was he mysteriously edited out? WE WANT ANSWERS!! #TheChallenge38 #TheChallenge #TheChallengeRideOrDies
@TheAllanAguirre: Jordan and Aneesa are such good friends that the only photo they have of them together is this cropped out pic of them at a giant Dirty 30 Fan/Press Event where they happen to be next each other. Real besties have no photos together.  #TheChallenge38
- @bolt_up_10: @TheAllanAguirre I literally yelled this at my tv
- @mich_dev: @TheAllanAguirre Choosing to live in this fantasy world where they are ride or dies otherwise I’m gonna lose my shit thinking about the hundred better ways they could have executed this
- @beezybee1215: @TheAllanAguirre I understand they wanted jordan and aneesa on still but like, get them new partners then! Like why not jordan and nia and then fly out like freaking Derrick for aneesa? Or freaking Josh for crying out loud ๐Ÿคฃ
- @LyfeofJohn: @beezybee1215 @TheAllanAguirre I heard originally Nia was going to be Jordan's partner and obviously Aneesa's ROD couldn't come either. Which put them together.
@kmacisco: NOT MTV PLAYING I WANNA BE BAD FOR MESSY FESSY LMFAOOOOOOO #TheChallenge38
@RyanJohn___: You want me to believe that Tori’s ex-fiancรฉ and her “best friend” are ride or dies? #TheChallenge38
- @joylaw13: @RyanJohn___ If they wanted another “couple” this season Cara and Paulie were it. But Cara and CT fit the theme so much better than Jordan/Aneesa & I’ll never stop being shitty they weren’t casted.
@TheAllanAguirre: Faysal knows there isn't a lot of Muslim representation on Reality TV. I love the fact that because he knows his name will be in people's mouth, they might as well learn the proper one.  #TheChalleng38
- @AddictingAlly27: @TheAllanAguirre Doesn't change his attitude. He will always be known as "Messy Fessy" and he only has himself to blame for his behavior.
- @TheAllanAguirre: @AddictingAlly27 I mean he's a bit cocky but he's a pretty good dude
- @dbkd21: @TheAllanAguirre The meaning of his name let's us know that God has a great sense of humor
- @Tortx3: @TheAllanAguirre Love that he did that. I didn’t know how to pronounce it tbh. Representation is important so I’m glad he’s taking advantage of his opportunity.
@TheAllanAguirre: Not the montage of Faysal with all his ladies. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ The man provides a service to The Challenge ecosystem. Tall, Short, Rookies, Vets, Legends, Blondes, Brunettes,  Germans, Latinas, etc. The Decisionmaker does not discriminate.  #TheChallenge38
- @mostlikelypod: @TheAllanAguirre Single, not … he’s a man of the world.
- @idgafmackenzie: @TheAllanAguirre He’s taking Cory’s place
- @TheAllanAguirre: @idgafmackenzie Cory couldn't even dream of putting up Fessy's numbers
- @bolt_up_10: @TheAllanAguirre it's because he's an introvert
@thedylandeckard: Y’all really casted some of the least strategic people in the history of Big Brother and give them this edit of masterminds… smh  #TheChallenge38 #bb24
@CFConfessionals: Love that Faysal means the Decisionmaker and that's what he is going by now. But someone else has gotta make the wardrobe decisions for my guy. #TheChallenge38
@TheAllanAguirre: Ayo Moriah is Fit Fit. This girl is going to be a force. Goddamn. #TheChallenge38
@KlRBYREED: Nelson’s confessionals are so forced and inauthentic you can tell he’s pandering to the casual audience ๐Ÿ˜•#TheChallenge38
@rainbr0jesus: oh now tori admitting to hooking up with faysal??? you couldnt waterboard that shit outta her last year  #TheChallenge38
@TAKEMEBACK2LA: WE ARE SO TIRED OF THE VETS VS ROOKIES STORYLINE! That is not the theme of the season or the last one, my goodness. #TheChallenge38
@TAKEMEBACK2LA: when was the last time we had vets going at each other? TM?
@RyanJohn___: If there’s one thing you can always count on, it’s that Fessy will be wearing a turtleneck #TheChallenge38
@TheAllanAguirre: Moriah is so excited to win her first daily challenge. Meanwhile, Fessy realizes he can't save every single person he's trying to hookup with. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ #TheChallenge38
- @moriahjadea: @TheAllanAguirre I’m sorry but LMFAOOOOO
@CFConfessionals: Bananas sounded a bit jealous of Fessy. Even at his peak, Bananas knew the only women who would fall for him were Rookies chasing clout. Fessy's got everyone lining up even though he ain't won anything real. #TheChallenge38
- @martydawwgg: @CFConfessionals They probably asked him about it. They often use him for context to a storyline to what the producers are trying to make. I’ve often caught this.
- @Fashion_Nexus: @CFConfessionals @TheAllanAguirre Yep! They know its messy fessy and they still line up
@TheAllanAguirre: Tommy talking about how their team is so tiny when she's a 5'5-5'6 Former D1 Collegiate Athlete. Analyse's got a muscular build, it ain't like she's Natalie or Big T small. She is thin, but she is not a pipsqueak. She's crying because he's tiny. #TheChallenge38
@TheAllanAguirre: You know Ravyn is a Real Person because any other Fame Hungry cast member would've saw Johnny hooking up with Nurys as their shot to try and hookup with Nelson, Bananas, etc. Instead, she's getting messy with Johnny for all of us. #TheChallenge38
@TheAllanAguirre: Look man, you could tell from Jordan's body language that he was not expecting Tori unload as openly and emotionally as she did. Tori apologizing for putting him through  pain during her darkest mental health struggles hit me way too hard. ๐Ÿฅฒ #TheChallenge38
- @sportsgal50: @TheAllanAguirre Not me liking her this season ๐Ÿซฃ
- @TheAllanAguirre: @sportsgal50 I'm back all in on Tori!
- @ShaySawyer_: @TheAllanAguirre I was so close to crying with her. I really felt where she was coming from.
- @MissFoucault: @TheAllanAguirre Team Tori from day one! She a real one idk why she gets so much hate. Wish someone could explain it
- @VincentGene11: @TheAllanAguirre Jordan ran for the hills it seems. Great decision
- @heatherreneef: @TheAllanAguirre That was such a real beautiful moment
- @NickyEyess: @TheAllanAguirre She should have done that at the house on the patio at 3am or something. Not on the dance floor at the bar lol.
- @linnndsC: @NickyEyess @TheAllanAguirre fully agree but who hasn’t been drunk and cornered their ex in a bar to word-vomit their feelings ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผ‍♀️
- @Dr_KareenM: @TheAllanAguirre That hug! ๐Ÿฅฐ
- @GContent101: @TheAllanAguirre Tori calling Fessy a mistake made me laugh
- @veeveeroxx: @GContent101 @TheAllanAguirre Especially when he was saying he’s too choice for the women during his confessional. ๐Ÿ˜‚
- @maryt324: @TheAllanAguirre It was a sweet moment.
- @Just_Justin17: @TheAllanAguirre Felt like a very real moment
- @sportsgal50: @TheAllanAguirre And this ep is prime example why we need exes
- @BrevoortSean: @TheAllanAguirre I’m just glad they patched things up but all for tv ratings lol
- @MJKolhoff: @TheAllanAguirre You can tell they still care about each other which you should. If you truly love someone you'll always love them & care about them, even if you're not dating anymore!
- @mikenangie19: @TheAllanAguirre It was just absolutely incredible to see THIS...instead of yet another drunken rant. It brought tears.
- @SUNLOVELIGHT: @TheAllanAguirre It's refreshing to see them still love, respect, and wish the best for one another.
- @Vitam1nCee: @TheAllanAguirre Did she cheat or no?? I still don’t know what happened
- @mediiocre_tits: @Vitam1nCee @TheAllanAguirre no she did not. she hooked up with fessy AFTER they broke up.
- @BigLowery: @TheAllanAguirre This is the CT/Diem story that never happened that I hope does happen!!! Please!!
- @TVpopQuotes: @BigLowery @TheAllanAguirre Diem passed away what do you mean?
- @mixersmuse: @TheAllanAguirre Icl I'm loving Tori this season
@Irving_A07: It feels kinda icky to see this very intimate moment between Jordan & Tori. I get that we have to for storyline purposes but it’s hard to watch #TheChallenge #TheChallenge38
@Irving_A07: This episode had been really boring tbh and it makes me mad knowing that @NurysKMateo said they cut out all the good stuff ๐Ÿ˜ค #TheChallenge #TheChallenge38
@kendallongg: A hall brawl with weak teams? Should’ve been saved for later this season ๐Ÿซ  #TheChallenge38
@CFConfessionals: I'm sorry, but Analyse is so damn gorgeous #TheChallenge38
@Irving_A07: It’s frustrating to watch Ravyn because she’s stunning and a great competitor like girl just let this man go!! Find someone worth your time #TheChallenge #TheChallenge38
@TheAllanAguirre: Faysal calling Horacio the ladies "2nd Boyfriend" for when he can't give them time. Who is gonna tell him he's the sidepiece and Horacio is the guy they wanna marry? ๐Ÿค #TheChallenge38
- @Fashion_Nexus: @TheAllanAguirre So you actually think laurel wants to marry horacio ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
- @TheAllanAguirre: @Fashion_Nexus I mean sure. She's an awkward school girl around him
- @MstrBlstr69: @TheAllanAguirre Fessy* has been his name for how many years. Not gonna change now
- @Peacefulpatrio4: @MstrBlstr69 Your attitude is exactly why so many POC feel they have to change their names- because *lazy folks can’t be bothered to take 2 seconds to learn their actual names. How hard is it to swap the ‘ee’ sound for ‘il’ at the end?
- @Paul_O_Tix: @TheAllanAguirre Hell...I love women. And even I can admit that H is leaps and bounds better than Fessy. And not just with looks!!๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž I wanna know how this dude keeps his hair on point.....even after wearing a helmet. But not have it look plastic like Pauly Ds toupรจ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
- @tennisprincess2: @TheAllanAguirre Totally agree!! Horacio looks gorgeous compared to Faysal to me...๐Ÿ˜
- @Carolin14105375: @TheAllanAguirre Messy fessy is just a loser. The more random rookies give him the time of day the more his ego is being stroked. Just trash.
@kendallongg: J&R would’ve been the team I chose too because chile, they’re going to demolish whoever they go up against. #TheChallenge38
@challengeteamtv: Horacio >>>> Faysal ๐Ÿ™ƒ #TheChallenge38
@TheAllanAguirre: Faysal talking about how he had to deal with troubles of earning his stripes as a Rookies. My Brother in Christ,  you were part of the Young Bucks your first day in the house and only had to face Jordan in a Pole Wrestle.  #TheChallenge38
- @Fashion_Nexus: @TheAllanAguirre Yea, its definitely the way, but for him, i do think people were genuinely worried
- @kgd26: @TheAllanAguirre @FredoAnGar last episode was better when he didn’t speak
- @bolt_up_10: @kgd26 right like know your role
- @jojotheh0h0: @TheAllanAguirre His first season was the first season with skulls where vets were fighting to go in. That is not the normal challenge experience of rookies “earning their stripes” he needs to take a seat.
- @azariajkay: @TheAllanAguirre Finally someone says it! This man hasn’t had a rough road to the final yet. And the hard times he’s had were all brought on because he backstabbed his actual friends in the house ๐Ÿ˜‚
- @Jcause14: @TheAllanAguirre I keep wondering if they remember how he did them last season and if they still mad
- @YeomansPlay: @TheAllanAguirre The man is walking hot air.
- @EryDeppBrito: @TheAllanAguirre And he has betrayed everybody he has been aligned with.
- @Tebzlightsaber: @TheAllanAguirre I wouldn’t be surprise if asks to go in a hall brawl against Tommy. Then claim he’s the greatest.
- @kissland444: @TheAllanAguirre He wants to be included in being some kind of meaningful vet SO bad and it shows, it's pathetic and everybody sees it ๐Ÿ˜ญ it just does not give. but yk who gives? Horacio (aka 2nd boyfriend lol) He's ACTUALLY earning his stripes and hopefully take his screen time
@Irving_A07: Horacio is much better looking and has a better personality. Sorry Faysal #TheChallenge #TheChallenge38
@Irving_A07: Olivia & Horacio: Never trust Big Brother ๐Ÿคฎ #TheChallenge #TheChallenge38
@Irving_A07: Yay.. another Hall Brawl ๐Ÿฅฑ I hate it here #TheChallenge38 #TheChallenge
@shadesofgregory: Being a rookie on this show seems miserable. If you get to episode 6/7 honestly you deserve a bonus check. #TheChallenge
@kendallongg: This elimination has me SHOOK its soo good!!! #TheChallenge38
@TheAllanAguirre: The fact there is a Pole they have to push changes Hall Brawl like crazy.  It becomes more of a game of weight, momentum, foot speed, balance, and stance. Johnny as a college football player would have normally had the tackling advantage. #TheChallenge38
- @TheAllanAguirre: He ran track. Not football. Nevermind.
- @JasonG847: @TheAllanAguirre just give us a normal hall brawl cmon
- @TheAllanAguirre: @JasonG847 We got a bunch of normal shitty Hall Brawls recently. This was pretty electric
- @drowndeep: @TheAllanAguirre I'm sooooo disappointed in Johnny.  All that working out on IG...for What? Smh
- @TheAllanAguirre: @drowndeep Bro... Horacio is legit. They're both good. Horacio just better
- @bolt_up_10: @TheAllanAguirre I way prefer this iteration but what was the point of the bottom people did they get their partner a extra second I missed the explanation?
- @Venatrix18: @bolt_up_10 Their partner's door opened a second earlier, essentially letting them start the wrestle over the pole with a few extra inches or so in their favor
- @CountessGPS: @TheAllanAguirre Making the challenges CBS light for all these newbies
- @inmedialife: @TheAllanAguirre You’re saying a guy who trained like this didn’t still have the advantage*.  *Advantage meaning more suited for the challenge as I think you meant
@kmacisco: Dear @SHOTOFYAGER: please bring Horacio to a CML in 2023
@TheAllanAguirre: Damn, Ravyn ain't got her man or her shoes in this elimination. #TheChallenge38
- @ravyn_rochelle: Yea feet were literally going thru the floor ๐Ÿ˜ญ
- @JimmyGi81604187: @TheAllanAguirre Lol I’ve never seen anyone more saltier than her ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ over a man on the challenge
- @GwenSte64608310: @TheAllanAguirre A sponsorship gone wrong. ๐Ÿ˜ณ
- @kingalpchino: @TheAllanAguirre Life hitting Ravyn hard ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
- @k_tmae: @TheAllanAguirre ** Makes note to avoid shoes from #UnderArmor **
- @ErielLawson: @TheAllanAguirre Lmaooooo omggggg please ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@TheAllanAguirre: Not them having Olivia beating Ravyn's ass in 4k  ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ #TheChallenge38
- @BullionJordan: Not Watching this season but so happy to see elimination energy like this!!!!  #TheChallenge38 #TheChallenge
- @luesadl: She came for BLOOD! That shot is damn Emmy-worth winning! Pure Gold! @oliviakaiserxo
- @brandongutley: Olivia is a beast and my new fav girl on the show. Obsessed #TheChallenge38
- @1AgentHendricks: That’s some good milk right there lol
- @helloalievans: Looks straight into the camera mid-elimination? Go ahead and take my stan card, Miss Olivia.
- @Dumbledore_BB: I legitimately cannot think of the last time we had a female rookie serve main character instantly in this manner since Laurel #TheChallenge38
- @deannnnamarieee: Nah this pic goes fucking HARD. She looks like she’s not even breaking a damn sweat ๐Ÿ˜‚
- @TheAllanAguirre: Johnny liking this tweet ๐Ÿ˜‚
- @Regi19512864: @TheAllanAguirre Ravyn lost because of her jealousy lol. Her head was not in the game
- @RyeBread3: @Regi19512864 And because she doesn’t know how to tie her shoes.
- @realiteaaaa1: @TheAllanAguirre She really kicked ass with a full beat. Queen shit
- @kennahdeee: @TheAllanAguirre and she looks so good doing it too ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
- @Air_Rick90: @TheAllanAguirre Shes a beast and gorgeous
- @poisonouskevin: @TheAllanAguirre DAYUM wtf i didn’t watch yet- but olivia and horacio again?!? y’all dumb๐Ÿ’€ they are my fav rookie pair this season and maybe like… ever๐Ÿ˜ญ
- @filipecbernardo: @TheAllanAguirre Doesn't Olivia kinda look like Kathy griffin, in certain angles?
- @kunoichi4ever: @TheAllanAguirre She is easily one of the best female rookies we got in YEARS.
@jaychallenge1: Fessy so jealous of Horacio #TheChallenge38
@Irving_A07: The elimination is making up for a boring ass episode #TheChallenge #TheChallenge38
@kendallongg: OLIVIA BODIED HER I AM CRYIN #TheChallenge38
@TheAllanAguirre: I don't like to use the word "Flung" a lot when it comes to eliminations. Olivia flung Ravyn in that last round. Jesus. #TheChallenge38
- @bolt_up_10: @TheAllanAguirre rookies of the season
- @Fashion_Nexus: @TheAllanAguirre I mean kind of every round lol
@TheAllanAguirre: Horacio & Olivia are America's Team   #TheChallenge38
- @bolt_up_10: @TheAllanAguirre Scared to god there gonna be like jay and win two elims their first season and go dormant for three seasons
- @BBSavant: @TheAllanAguirre I love them, they’re my winners
- @GwenSte64608310: @TheAllanAguirre @oliviakaiserxo I like how Olivia’s ambition is to improve and prove herself her worth. She’s a little anxious but has a lot of perseverance which matches Horacio’s. Horacio is a skilled athlete irl & on show. #TheChallenge38
- @Lopez_Phillip: @TheAllanAguirre I want them to win the next daily so bad
- @JesseySutherla2: @Lopez_Phillip @TheAllanAguirre Not possible because the next challenge is heights and that is Olivia's weakness
@TAKEMEBACK2LA: Nany getting the urge to fuck Horacio, you know her pussy is tingling rn. #TheChallenge38


@TheAllanAguirre: NEW BLOG RECAP. I Just Published: The Challenge Ride or Dies Episode 3 Recap: 10 Biggest Takeaways  https://t.co/zavBtgCgb3
@ChallengeMTV: If Final Reckoning came out today they’d probably edit out the Melissa/Kailah fight
- @bolt_up_10: @ChallengeMTV they'd edit out Melissa and kailah altogether and tell us kam and Kayleigh were always pairs
- @Djewlie: @ChallengeMTV And we would be stuck with Kailah…no leave it in the past. ๐Ÿคท‍♀️
- @Lopez_Phillip: @ChallengeMTV Amanda would have been sent home for saying she hopes Cara's horse dies. It would have been edited out though, then they would have brought Jenna back to be Zach's partner and say they are rivals because they fight with each other.
- @TiffanyKShim: @Lopez_Phillip @ChallengeMTV Dr. Stucky can resuscitate Cara's horse.
- @Tmotto_2: @ChallengeMTV I'm not sure if this was the same season but I feel like they'd also edit out throwing that one girls stuff over the balcony.
- @lucas07096548: @ChallengeMTV this is so true and sad most of the drama that season would have been smh
- @chdisciple: @ChallengeMTV That season was awful after Ashley and Hunter arrived. Hope they just edit out the entire season. Was pretty good first several episodes. One of the worst after that.
@CFConfessionals: Week 3 Update: I still love them. #TheChallenge38
- @scizzerz63: @CFConfessionals What a beast of a team. Truely incredible to see this level on a rookie team. Such a treat for us. A team that brings it, every single time! I hope you come back for future seasons.
- @EryDeppBrito: @CFConfessionals I am team horacio and Olivia 100%.. I just hate how the rookies are outnumbered. Much love to them for saving this season ❤️❤️❤️
- @Venatrix18: @CFConfessionals I'm glad people like Olivia. I thought she was hilarious on Love Island but she got a lot of hate on Twitter
@cinnamongerru: And 2-0 in eliminations! That took Olivia approximately 3 seconds๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ#TheChallenge38
@challengeteamtv: Ravyn and Johnny got their karma imagine targeting a Vet without connection over the vacation alliance of Fessy/Tori when they had a chance ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ✌๐Ÿผ #TheChallenge38
@NurysKMateo: I hope y’all loved the live ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ now let’s hope I don’t get in trouble for any of it ๐Ÿ˜…
@dontclapatjana_: Olivia, Horacio, Johnny and Ravyn better get all their respective call backs cus nah they ate the whole episode! #TheChallenge38
@flosttv1: the challenge has turned so positive, like where is the mess, this is so boring๐Ÿฅฑ๐Ÿฅฑ๐Ÿฅฑ #thechallenge38
@Humble_demeanor: Johnny and Horacio better get a call back next season. #TheChallenge38 #Challenge38
@dc408dxnow: So, we have for the 2nd straight week someone deciding to enter the fray after the end of the elimination battles, and it’s Jordan. And he’s joined by Aneesa… and there’s one person in this group who knows better than anyone of them - and it’s that girl. #DCChallenge

@TheChallenge: If you want to make BIG moves you're gonna have to deal with the aftermath. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ See who will be coming into the game when #TheChallenge38 airs NEXT WEDNESDAY at 8/7c on @MTV!
@TinaBarta: #tinasthoughts What if they are phasing out the MTV version of #TheChallenge to just be #TheChallengeCBS.  Casting from all the RealityTV feeder shows!  That solves all problems!
@brayvoodoo: I’m sorry I stan Olivia/Horacio/Ravyn so much. They are the best rookies we’ve seen in a LONGGGG time #TheChallenge38
@DayDaVonne_: Oh… @DevynSimone and I have returned to #TheChallenge38 podcast with Aneesa and Tori… check out the newest episode ๐Ÿ‘€✨ Thanks for the constant love and support ❤️
@TheAllanAguirre: Aye yo did they really put Laurel & Michele in a montage of hookups last night and then not give them a confessional the entire episode...? What the fuck was that about #TheChallenge38
- @Cham68585812: @TheAllanAguirre is michele the one that fessy was going to take to harry potter world?
- @EvilStefano: @TheAllanAguirre They kind of have the same face
- @sean637: @TheAllanAguirre Michele is boring af so
- @BarstoolReags: @TheAllanAguirre Too much Jv team screen time
- @bxmarie__: @TheAllanAguirre The editing on this season based on what the cast has said so far is… honestly so confusing.
- @jennacompano: @TheAllanAguirre it's an hr and 30 mins not everyone is gonna get a confessional in every episode ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€
- @QuieroTacoBelle: @jennacompano @TheAllanAguirre exactly. they needed to ensure time for 20 feysal confessionals
- @_soxinsider: @TheAllanAguirre Nope can’t do that we needed as much time as possible to show people carrying barrels!
@CohenBrian_: The first 5 minutes of this week’s podcast was something else. No idea how I landed on the things I said. There’s your teaser #TheChallenge38
@deadtingtv: Ravyn, Johnny, Olivia and Horacio all need a call back. This is new school energy we need, they’re hooking up and dominating dailies and eliminations. #TheChallenge38
@TheAllanAguirre: The MTV Challenge Account never asks to use my tweets that actually make noise. I wonder why that is. #TheChallenge38
@fessyfitness: Me trying to explain my thoughts to the challenge fanbase.
@TheChallenge: You heard it here first… Aneesa is the leader. How far will these two go this season? #TheChallenge38

@TheChallenge: I just KNOW the vets are nervous with this pair getting ANOTHER win. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ #TheChallenge38
@TheChallenge: Now THIS is what we call an intense elimination. ๐Ÿฅต #TheChallenge38

  MOMENTS OF THE NIGHT  
Barrel Work and Two Straight

And below, our moments of the night: teamwork at work carrying barrels with Fessy & Moriah taking the W, and Olivia & Horacio winning in The Zone again...





     #DCExtraTime     
SHANNON & JOSH...
TOGETHER AGAIN

Instagram @ShannonSaint
And us watching those two got 2 for 2 in The Zone have put Olivia & Horacio in early consideration for Rookies of the Year amidst a crowded group of newbies, though we are still well early into this season. But her roots in the world of love does bring up how most of you spent your summer with the fifth major sport -- and this short but sweet post-show ExtraTime involves another of her fellow occupants in her Season 3 Love Island villa last year -- which also happened to host the first American Ex On The Beach season there on the Hawaiian big island.
   This summer saw The Challenge make its network television debut in a USA spinoff on CBS, and a month after its chaotic final act what happened there still stings a bit. But if we had an idea of other prospective rookies who might've made their way directly to this MTV Challenge, then a rather juicy affair might've popped up between Shannon St. Clair and Josh Goldstein. The former came into both of her CBS shows with the notoriety of having had an affair with Barstool Sports emperor Dave Portnoy, but on the Island had summer 2021's biggest reality romance with Josh. And they were on their way to being King & Queen of Season 3, until a family emergency back home in the mainland forced the both of them to leave the villa a bit earlier than they planned before they would've claimed the top prize.
   Shannon & Josh stayed together for a time after the season ended (the last Love Island on CBS before its move to Peacock) before they split up earlier this year... but last month over the long October holiday weekend and well after she got eliminated halfway through that they got back together once again with the simple Instagram caption, "Plot twist." Well, their reconciliation after their brief time apart was too late for them to be considered to compete on Ride or Dies... otherwise if they were cast here we may not have gotten to see Shannon on The Challenge: USA -- and maybe they would've been a formidable team this fall. But with the way that they've enjoying each other's company since they got back together, it may be only a matter of time before they become our Love Island's very first couple to tie the knot.




๐Ÿ’˜     ๐Ÿ˜     ๐Ÿ’•

This is the start of a big weekend of blog content here as tomorrow, the 'Pulse of Week 4 of Ride or Dies delves into yet another surprise arrival of a couple vets will put the house on alert once again... but the focus will shift to one combatant in this arena and another with a past history looking to reverse a sorry trend. We'll leave you here with a possible new TikTok challenge involving something you're likely gonna have with friends a lot on this long weekend -- tortilla... but it's not tortilla chips. See you soon, Challenge Nation... and please, save a spot on the couch for us, will you? Have a good weekend...
