After months of waiting and Googling spoilers from tipsters on the scene in Turkey, the wait is over.

Who are these people?

But if youre a purist (or a gambler), it throws a wrench into things.

These folks may be Bananas cousin or Camilas sister, but theyre complete strangers to us.

We cant, and to me, that makes this season ofThe Challengethat much more exciting.

Here,realemotions are involved becauserealfamily members are participating.

When that sort of loyalty and were predicting betrayal is at stake, all bets are off.

Im calling it now:Bloodlineswill changeThe Challengeforever, in the wayEx-PlosionchangedThe Real Worldformat.

Each week well rank the teams, but not in terms of who actually won.

Anextremelyscientific calculation of screen time, maniacal behavior, and general insanity will determine theBloodline Rankings.

Wednesdays premiere reached peakChallengepretty quickly.

God, I love this show.

Tony and Shane

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

My hormones are raging, he tells her.

I wanna like fing bang you.

Its gonna feel so good.

As if the Melinda-Danny break up didnt already destroy our faith in MTV-brewed romances!

But Tony didnt stop.

And when family means Nany and Camila, youre out, dude.

But thats not even it!

Its legit scary and harkens back to his dark times onSkeletons.

Good ol TJ Lavin lets them stay with a warning, but oh man, Tony.

What are you doing?!

NEXT: And the Pit winner is…

Christina and Emily

Oh look!

Yeah, we hooked up, she says.

Bye Christina and Christinas sister.

Jenna and Brianna

You guys, Jennas back!

Zach fromReal World: San Diego).

All hail, Jenna!

Well, Jenna won.

Nany and Nicole

Nany, my girl.

Shes tired of being called a whore, didnt hook up with Cory, and Cohutta dumped her.

Were rooting for you, Nany.

Cohutta and Jill

Out of the gate we learn Jill actually postponed her WEDDING to come onThe Challenge.

Girl, way to have your priorities straight!

This show is the most important thing in the world.

She and Cohutta go on to win the challenge with some help from KellyAnne and Cara Marias co-ed teams.

They then make the sensible, right choice to send in Christina and Emily.

Yeaaaah, were gonna need more info on that one.)

NEXT: Heres our episode 1 pick to win it all

Dario and Raphy

Twins!

Thomas and Stephen

More twins!

KellyAnne and Anthony

KellyAnne does a good impression of Dario.

She also teaches some of the girls how to twerk.

Solid appearance from KellyAnne.

Though, praise Queen Aneesa for PREACHING: Corys a sweet kid… but hes such a kid.

But thats about all from Team Brazil this week.

Bananas and Vince

Oh look, the Hulk mutated into TWO HULKS.

Based on the coming attractions, Abram and C.T.

seem to still be in the wings with their Bloodlines if Bloodline teams even remain intact all season.

Whos to say whats in store for the newbs and the vets as the Challenge gets underway?

How are you feeling about Bloodlines so far and who do you think will take down Bananas and Vince?
