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.

Ms. Dynasty#274
I like Evan, he's had his moments but he's a pretty level headed guy from what i've seen on the shows.

Sorry! I had to divert the conversation away from Evan's funky bunch somehow.

Back to Diem's game face.. Did you guys see that look she gave Jenn after she steam rolled her? It screamed "Yeah don't f&*^ with me!". Why am I so proud of Diem? LOL. Edit: Cystic: Hey, Hey, Hey...
Ms. Dynasty#281
Haha you guys are a riot!..Did you see that fake *** hug Jenn gave Diem? It was funny because Diem was trying to give a pity hug and Jenn was basically like *yea yea *** the hug for real"
Grrrr!!!#282

Lmao. Jenn was mad but Diem kicked butt.
Dartagnan#283
Yeah Jenn definitely didn't seem to happy about losing. It must suck more being on the outside and losing.

BMP, in its relentless pursuit of favoritism toward alternative life styles, elected to give us an aftershow with the most predictable three: Aneesa, Jenn and Rachel. I would have preferred the addition of Diem to the show to explore for a few minutes her transition from "whinny Fresh Meat girl" to worthy competitor.
rwny4ever#285
I was mad as hell when Jenn picked Diem for the Duel - I remember yelling COWARD loudly at the tv screen. I guess it made sense strategy wise, but if you're going to talk mad **** about how you hate someone then bring them into the Duel and fight it out. I've never been a fan of Anessa so I dont care about her one way or the other - I thought she was very ghetto on her season. I've always been a fan of Rachel but I can't help being disappointed with her on this challenge - her comments about Derek (and I think Diem) was very rude. However, I do think you all are wrong in that she is a very attractive girl! Last nights episode did have some "lol" moments - my favorite being Diem's "TJ hates me" reaction to yet another height challenge. And the look on TJs face when he blew the horn for even to begin - priceless! I am starting to like TJ on this Challenge - maybe because he's not talking nearly as much. Although I agree with everyone that Mark would be the best host - He and Eric ruled as hosts for BOTSexes - too bad Eric looks like a hobo now.

And just what the hell is wrong with that??

No need to be defensive... It is in the "relentless pursuit" that I find fault. I'd have a similar problem with any corporate agenda pushing people to attend Liberty or Bob Jones Universities.

Well at least she was able to walk away. Man, I could only imagine her fate had she picked Tori, Brit, or especially Aneesa. however, if I trash talk someone, I have to take them on regardless of the potential consequence. Jenn now is probably the laughing stock of the RR/RW Challenge. She is as hypocritical as our friend, the make up artist - Kina Dean (my opinion only). For once I was glad Evan, of all people made the comment he made about Jenn's Duel selection on the Aftershow, and he did it while she was present. Rachel has been pretty annoying imo this entire challenge, but I somehow accept her position in wanting to keep things quiet. also her commentary on Derek's Duel performance was pretty accurate. It was sad to watch him lose in that fashion. I too wouldn't wish that on noone.

And the worst part of it was that Derek looked like he was about to bawl his eyes out. He looks so frustrated.

I think that would make him being the host even better!! Im sure he'd have me lol-ing allday! Eric is something else!!
Dartagnan#291
Yeah, TJ, it did look like Derek was about to break down.
Sleepy I#292
You gotta ask why did Derek take that long to even start anyway? Was he trying to decide which pieces fit at the top before going up, or was he just intimidated by the structure?
Dartagnan#293
I think he tried to see where pieces would go, but he couldn't figure it out, and in turn, stood there.

You know what I didn't even think about that. They should've switched Evan out For Diem.

Don't you mean Battle of the Seasons?
SteveSparxx#296
Seeing Diem perform well against a strong competitor like Jenn really changes my view of her. I liked her in Fresh Meat but she seemed to really sink performance wise in the Duel and Gauntlet 3, although she did win the 2nd competition in the Duel 1. This has raised my spirits and I am now liking Diem more as a competitor now that she can actually put her game face on in an elimination setting.
OtherPplsDrama#297
Diem did great this week. I've never been her biggest fan but I can respect that fire that came out of her!!
Dartagnan#298
Same here OPD. Jenn is a favorite of mine and a strong competitor, so it sucks, bit it proved Diem isn't weak.

Strong competitor?? Ummmm no! Just because you can push a couple of smaller girls around in a Duel does not make you a good competitor. She absolutely sucks in the challenges.

Come to think of it you are right - they hosted Battle of the Seasons and then participated in Battle of the Sexes - If I'm not mistaken Mark and Colin (Hawaii) and someone else won that Challenge.
