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

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.

Haha....yeah, I'm having a hard time following too. So far all I know is it is bad to get tackled. I think?

CT used Adam's pajamas as...a towel? lol I feel bad for Diem but she seems to be missing the point that CT isn't safe to have around and he isn't treating her like he should...but it's just the way I see it, my opinion.
She was very aware of all aspects of CT's personality. She wanted him to have a good challenge in part because of the tragic passing of his brother. She hoped they would get along during the challenge and the he would act in a respectful way toward her.

I thought you were talking about me :). All I gotta say is Tori a lucky gal.

The rules pretty much are that one person on the offensive side gets tackled and switches over until there's only one person left on offense. That person is the winner. Or at least I think that's it. lol

Thank God for TIVO and commercials so I can figure this out.

Omg, did you see how Ryan bounced when Eric hit him?!
Anonymous#72
Robin/ Evan was an obvious win, considering that trailer on the MTV website.

When Eric plowed Ryan over.. I almost jumped off the sofa!! That was 100% pure awesome!! I love contact sports!! lol

I wanted MJ to win... I didn't listen to the rules well enough, either.
DerbyDem#75
I can't imagine Diem's family would be jumping for joy if they got back together after the events that just transpired on national tv....
FMbaby#76
I love it how it took 3 guys to take down Eric, I am glad he is on this challenge.

I thought MJ was going to win too... If I remember correctly he used to play college football

Wow, alotta commercials...grrr. Who do you think Robin and Evan are gonna pick? Robin usually goes for Brad, and I think Evan would be ok with it. But Evan might want Paula but I don't think Robin would go with that.
V1man#79
I'm always amazed that Bunim Murray finds a company willing to insure these challenges.

Yes he did. I mentioned in a post that he and Mark did (and Derek played football in high school at least, if not college. He did track as well).

Did you see the 3 minute trailer on mtv.com? The whole challenge was practically given away and the winners.

I'm surprised there wasn't legal action taken after that situation.
Morris1721#83
Whats with them not picking on the beach like in the first Duel? I didn't think they'd give them all this time to deliberate.

Yeah I knew Robin and Evan won but I didn't remember who they picked from the trailer.

I don't get it. Do you mean medically or money-wise?

Oh sorry I guess I should read a little bit better next time
RW561015#88
Oh, I am disappointed for Mark, Brad, and Landon to be in an alliance with Evan! Those are the people I like and want to last, not Evan.

So I imagine we're only gonna see one of the duels tonight...?
