Behind the Screen: The Duel 2: Episode 8 - 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.

Yay Cancun promo. Diem is just really funny to watch...

This is the first challenge where I can admit Evan was funny. On other challenges the guy used to try so hard and annoy the hell out of me...

This is the first challenge where I can admit Evan was funny. On other challenges the guy used to try so hard and annoy the hell out of me. Especially if he was on the same challenge as Kenny. He's funnier when he doesn't try so hard. I'm watching the After Show for my girl Jen. Sorry I just love her and she's one of my favorites on these challenges. I think she's pretty kickass. And I want to see where she's at now and what she says. I bet all three of them will be cool with each other and it will be boring.

Holy shit! Diem kicked *** yo!
TheQuietOne#35
Well, so much for my theory...
Dartagnan#36
Jeez! Diem kicked butt!
Morris1721#37
WOW! Good job Diem! She beat most of the guys times!
RW561015#38
I now remember that Diem was afraid on a heights challenge on G3. She kind of clinged on to Katie in one mission, which was not good because Katie herself was already scared. So it's not an all of a sudden thing for her like I thought it might have been previously. I can't blame her for being scared, though I thought she was calmer on other challenges during heights based missions.
Isabella#39
Diem did kick ***. lol. This is also the first challenge where I've liked Diem! I think I like her better as the goofy girl they are showing her as on this challenge then when she was the big whiner "How dare you vote ME in?!"
V1man#40
How about a little respect for Diem now? She had a better time than most of the guys.
Morris1721#41
Ohh Aneesa you're swinging upside down? We did not know that haha.
Dartagnan#42
Se did do very well V! Jenn was extremely rude in that confessional.
TheQuietOne#43
Ughhhh, what is WRONG with Jenn?! Why is she being so snarky? I'm starting to dislike her.
RW561015#44
I generally like Jenn (only have a challenge view of her), but she has really shown her nasty side in this thing against Anessa.
Californiagirl#45
Jenn is very fake towards Aneesa, especially in that daily where she confronted Aneesa. I dont like the way all three of them are being shown
Dartagnan#46
Jenn is one of my favorites, but this side of her is not very good to see!
needsalife#47
Dang, Tori has some nice abs!
Dartagnan#48
Yeah Tori and Rachel have amazing bodies. Jeez Rachel's time was great!
TheQuietOne#49
AAAHHH! Landon talking about "the fat being trimmed" lol!!!!
Morris1721#50
::sigh:: for trimming the fat talk...and by Landon? awww
RW561015#51
Yes Landon! I thought Mark was going to take the win on this one based on some of the daily situations, but Rachel is his partner. Why are they doing the lineup again? Only Derek, Jenn, Anessa, and MJ are the "outsiders" now. Though Landon is really in the "big dawg" alliance, he keeps winning so he is exempt a lot.
Isabella#52
Rachel's body has always been SICK. Okay I wouldn't want my arms that manly, but just look at her stomach and legs. On Battle of the Sexes 2 when she had that straight long golden hair and was showing off her awesome abs, I think she looked the best.
Dartagnan#53
I think that this whole list thing was stupid from the get-go. I like how they have realized, it is all strong people left, and that the list doesn't really matter that much.

Refresh my memory because I didn't get to watch the Duel when it aired. I've seen some episodes online after that just to see Wes and Svetlana. Did they do this big list thing on that challenge? Because I think it's held this one back from being entertaining somewhat.

I just think it's funny they say, we aren't doing a list. Then verbally go through it.
Californiagirl#56
what the hell was that confessional all about?
RMD1#57
Im glad Rachel is looking out for herself!! She is a true vet and deserves to do what she wants..
Dartagnan#58
I just think that they were saying that if they picked these people, who would make the decision.

I agree. But they have gone back to it again it seems. Well, they at least are mapping out how they hope the person they pick will pick so and so and it trickles down to the "right" people. This is the most I've liked Tori on a show. I think I like her and Brittini the best out of the girls left.
mattyw66#60
so whose guessing aneesa vs jenn?
TheQuietOne#61
So now only people with "good souls" deserve to win?
