Behind the Screen: The Duel 2: Ep. 1 - Aftershow

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

WHY is Evan there? Or Brooke, actually? I can understand Shauvon because her possibly hooking up with CT helped spark the fight. Diem - you and CT were NOT together during Duel 2. You need to stop. Take it up with CT if anything. But he could do what he wanted to if she broke up with him (or whoever broke up). I actually like Diem, but she gets on her trips sometimes and this is one of them.

I had stopped liking Diem, but I kinda sympathize with her right now.

Someone needs to PLEASE shut Shauvon up!

Shauvon, or however you spell her name, is nasty. Diem should really just turn her head and ignore that trash.

Look at Shauvon trying to get her 10 minutes of fame.

Diem looks cute. Shauvon sounds like an idiot.

I'm with you. I was not a fan on recent challenges, but in this instance I am full force behind her.

Diem needs to get a backbone. Shauvon just tore her a new one.

What is with Shauvon?!?! Did she really just tell Diem to shut up? Why does it seem like some of these girls have a problem with Diem? She was referred to being on the misfit team and we know that Beth fought with her on the reunion.

Shauvon is trash. I know I should really watch my mouth...... but I can't. I'm disappointed in her as a woman. She doesn't seem to have any respect for herself. Obviously, she's not going to respect anyone else.
RW561015#15
Brooke sounded very reasonable. I hope Diem and CT can be friends. If they want to date again, I hope CT gets himself under control and that he will not disrespect Diem. I don't quite like this aftershow format for the challenges. I'd prefer for there to be one, or maybe two (in some cases like this one), people on at a time. I don't know much about Shauvon, but I think some of the stuff she was saying concerning the situation was right. It seems like Diem was going to put some blame or guilt on her for hooking up with CT, but Diem was not together with him. Now, if she and Diem were good friends, that's another thing.

That was hilarious, Shauvon looks like a hot mess. She kind of made herself look like an idiot, but that's ok in my book. As for Diem, meh.. I'm over the CT/Diem story.
msstock87#17
I too, was never much of a fan of Diem, but I actually really feel for her right now, and am starting to like her a little more.

Brooke seems to have turned a corner in her life and has come a long ways since the Denver season.

It'll be interesting to see CT's point of view on everything now that he's (presumably) sober.

CT looks disgusted.

CT is rambling.

Actually, this aftershow has been quite riveting. Lots of emotion. More fulfilling than the episode itself. Interestingly enough, I did side with CT on a point or two. But it stopped there.
RW561015#24
I understand Diem being embarrassed by CT hooking up on a challenge, since they had a serious relationship in the past. I understand it must have hurt - I might have been hurt if I was in that situation. But they weren't together at the time. It would have been nice if out of respect neither of them hooked up with each other during the challenge, but they didn't have a relationship at that point and were free. So I can't really back Diem on this one. I really hope CT has really seen how horrible his actions have been over the past couple of years and will attempt to change them. Adam, I think he should try and let it go. It seems it's about a lot of pride for him. I am not thinking he should try and be friends with CT, but I think they should go their separate ways. Their beef definitely doesn't seem to be over. Makes me more interested in seeing the Paris season to get the full background.

This is just cruel what they're doing. Rubbing that footage in their faces. But that's just me.

But it's SHAVOUN!! I'd be insulted as hell too...
Cait3223#27
The after show was great. As far as CT and Diem go...no, I guess he didn't do anything wrong by hooking up with someone on the show...but really shows what kind of character he has. I understand Diem..and by her saying she would never do that shows what kind of character she has.
Anonymous#28
Here is what I think. Diem is over dramatic. She just told CT that she didnt care about him because she has a new boyfriend. If that's the case.... CT is right. She needs to let it go. Shauvon is nasty. CT shouldn't have touched her. CT should not have been on a challenge after the loss of his brother. Again, my prayers are with the Tamburello (sp?) family. That being said, CT has a history of being a complete animal. He is def a liability. Adam, however, should NOT have put his hands on CT first. I completely understand that they have a history and Adam finally snapped. That's still no excuse. The only difference between Adam's behavior and CT's is strength. If CT had been slapping at Adam that way, it would have been a different story. I'd like to make it very clear that I don't feel either party was right. Why are Evan and Brooke even there?

I pretty much agree with you, Insider.

I strongly disagree with you on the points in bold.
