Behind the Screen: The Duel 2: Episode 6 - 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.

Awww, I was hoping Kim would knock Jenn off at least once. *Hoping for a Cancun trailer*...

I'm glad Kim handled her elimination well. I'm very sad to see her go, though :(
I wouldn't mind seeing another meltdown like the one Rachel gave us lol

Too bad there's not a duel where opponents try to gouge each other's eyes out someone could call Paula in.

They all have to wait while production removes the pole and sets up the next duel. The cameras also have to me moved and while balanced for the changing light. It can sometime take up to an hour which is a long time to be standing around in the cold.
Oh yeah I forgot they had to remove the pole and what not. So that ends Kimberly after her first challenge with a 2-1 record, not bad. Jenn moves to 3-1

They are not showing a cancun trailer at 958/1058

Whoa, did someone flat iron MJ's hair?! I remember Shavonda flat ironed Landon's hair on one of the extra clips for their season, and I thought it was funny. MJ's hair looked really crazy.

oooh, aftershow
TheQuietOne#70
Mark seems so enthusiastic to host!
RW561015#71
Paula looks nice, from what I can see of her backstage. Will Kim mention that her and Dunbar dated on this aftershow? Doesn't seem like Dunbar will.
V1man#72
Thank you, Dunbar, for telling the truth about what was happening back home while you were on the challenge. It wasn't something I was not comfortable writing about.
RW561015#73
Oh, Mark is pressing the information out of them.

I wish they would make that rule that you can't have the same partner.. like Battle of the Sexes, that would change it up.

I would have liked that as well. And it's like Mark kind of dissed Dunbar by talking about how many good looking guys there were and why Kim picked Dunbar.

As I've been writing for months, it was over almost before it started. Of course Mark knew this but that doesn't stop BMP's writers from tying to make something out of it.

Watching the Duel 2 Episode 6 Aftershow, Kim announces she is seeing someone - that isn't Dunbar or Dunbar's friend. Anyone have any idea who (challenge related or no)?

The guy is not involved in TV at all. It's a private relationship.

Umm, there was a name on Dunbar's list of hook ups that I didn't expect.

Yeah, but from what Dunbar was saying, he was making it look like they didn't even try something outside of the challenge. That's why I wanted to see if they would mentioned something a little more, and Mark did push it out there. Of course it was there business to tell or not (regardless of Mark's pushing), and they decided to talk a little bit. I think the little bit that happened before it was completely over is of interest to the audience. But again, it was really their business to tell or not tell, and they didn't have an obligation to say anything, since it's something that happened outside the show and was personal business.

Paula has had a long term boyfriend, too, but Mark won't be asking about him. Most of what Paula does is simply for camera time.

Paula tries SO HARD to look cute on the Aftershow, but she will never be cute. Ever. Kim with no makeup and messed up hair outshines Paula done up with pounds of makeup, raccoon eyes, and fake tan and ***** and all. Love Kim!
RW561015#86
I think Paula looks improved, though. Her hair color and eye makeup looks a little toned down to me (for the better). That's why I think she looks nice.

They re-run the fake shows but they can't re-run The Real World?

Thoughts on this episode... Paula really annoyed me. I thought the mission was really cool. Landon and Britt are an awesome team. Diem is extremely annoying, has she always been that afraid of heights? I really thought Kim and Dunbar were cute and this episode made me see him in a different light, as well as the after show. Oh, and I love Evan. That is all. :)

I agree with Blanky btw
