Behind the Screen: The Duel 2: Episode 9 - 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.

I am going to miss this intro so much after this season...

I love Mark's fashion show voice. Did he just call her "Whori"...

Brad's job is doing the challenge. This is not a game this is his life. JK

Yeah we do know who's going home but don't think this is the proper thread to discuss that some people don't read spoilers.LOL At M.J Tucking Evan in *****

Tori, never give the ring back. Not a good idea.

The edit of the episode made it very obvious who's going home.

I really hope Tori don't leave.

What happened to Brad's insurance job? Even if he doesn't have a job now, isn't he going back to school for his masters (or has he already gotten it) and will be going to law school?
TDMEL52#15
I am going for a run. I want to run right now.
TheQuietOne#16
The kind of advice guys give their friends seems sooooo different from the kind of advice girls give.

AHHH. I can't watch until tomorrow when its on MTV.com. Please give me play by plays!

Brad said he cant talk Tori out of quitting, yet he did that exact thing on the Gauntlet 3 haha, just sayin. Editing this episode is really bad too, not that whole "who's going home" thing, but they keep editing conversations together. One was when Tori was talking to Diem and it just magically cut back to her in the room she was talking to Brad in. Then the other one was with the boys talking with Brad. C'mon MTV haha

You haven't missed much so far, just the fashion show. The whole Brad/Tori storyline is playing out right now. But if you watched the Dailies you're not missing anything.

God my heart totally goes out to both of them. Been there, done that (giving back of the ring). Glad that according to V things are settled now for them, and this was a blip on the radar for them.

I feel bad for both of them. I find it hard to pick a side, I understand where they're both coming from.
RMD1#24
Tori, just go home... Your starting to get on my nerves

Um, well, jobs come and go. No masters, no law school.

Never do these challenges with a boyfriend/girlfriend. The duel is the worst challenge to do that!!
bayday#27
Can we move on.....like the actually challenge LOL....yes Tori/Brad are interesting, but I don't want to see it for 15 minutes. I hope they move on.

The dailies made me think the situation was so much worse. Doesn't seem as bad tonight.

I've pretty much felt the same way the whole time, whenever an argument is shown between them. Right now with this, I do lean towards Brad's idea of leaving things be until they get home, just because of the cameras and atmosphere. The challenge is almost over at this point as well. But I totally understand Tori not wanting to leave things unanswered and unsettled. It would be very hard for me to do that as well, even though feeling it was best to leave things off the camera. It's got to be hard to be upset with someone you love and have them be upset with you and not be able to resolve it. I also think it must be hard to be planning to get married and not have your financial situation set in terms of a job.

If that were the final mission, I'd have this in the bag lol!
