The Duel 2: Finale - Episode Discussion

Whoa, I did NOT need to see that shot of Rachel!

Rachel's a ******. She's like "I'm going to run and beat both these beep"

I'm sure he would've liked to win first place, but it was nice when he was talking about just helping Aneesa finally finish one.

Way to go Rachel!

I think Mark and Aneesa were at least a couple of hours behind the others by the end. Yelling at her would have given BMP video that Mark is too smart to let them have,

Of course faulty equipment. Don't blame the equipment. In a way Landon helped Even, because he weaken him.

I'm loving the fact that she beat EVERYONE, boys and all.

It just shows Mark's experience and Evan's lack of.

I have to say I am finding this final pretty entertaining. Most finals are the most boring, suckiest episodes but this one is pretty intense. I like that they end on elevator. Brad has the WORST luck. Well not too bad, atleast he didn't get 3rd place.

The boys had to wait on her.

BOOOOOOOOOOO! Not Evan!

Damn that was close!

I didn't hear Brad blame the equipment. He was responding to a question put to him by a producer off camera.

Brad don't be mad you won 35,000 dollars.

Right...but the boys did have to wait for the girls after the road leg. If there was not a team dynamic, I'm not so sure she could have beaten Evan head to head. Still, she gets kudos for finishing first with the circumstance in place.

That IS pretty awesome. I don't know if they did the thing where the girls have to do less of a distant or whatever, but it's still nice to see a girl get to the finish first. I'm happy for Rachel winning. I really wish Brad or Mark would have won for the guys. Especially since I was more invested in the guys who were in the finals than the girls.

he said that the chain got jammed.

Yes partner was needed, but she still pass her partner Brad....that girl Dominated, and like I said she would have won any Duel.

Mark comes off like such a nice guy. lol. I could have sworn spoilers last time I checked said Brittini got 3rd place??!!!

I wasn't even thinking. You're right!

That would be incorrect. It was said many times in the spoiler thread that Aneesa finished hours behind the other two.

You missed my point. Brad was answering a question put to him by a producer. He didn't volunteer the info as an excuse. Do you not understand how production of the show works?

What did everybody else do while they waited for Anesssa and Mark

V1Man you seem to know what's going on around here... why did TJ blow the horn in the Landon/Brad duel like he was stopping play and then let Brad run over and clip his hook on? I thought that was kind of strange.

I am sorry, that I didn't understand your point.

The spoilers I read initially though, I haven't checked them in awhile did say the order went: Evan, Brad, Mark and Rachel, Anessa, Brittini. I remember well because I remember being shocked at Anessa making it to second place in the whole challenge because I saw her as a weak player.

I don't like the way Evan talked to Brittani. Mark is such a sweetheart, what a real gentlemen.

Yes! Evan won! I'm really glad for him.

I think Mark just seems like a nicer person that Evan as well. At least, on the challenges. I don't think he is perfect, but he seems more affable than Evan on these shows. Evan is someone who does not hesitate to put someone down or be extremely mean towards people. I think he does some of it as humor, but sometimes he just goes way too far. I think for me, he might be the worst at it. There are other people who do it as well, but he seems extra brass and mean about it.

No...OTHER people took it upon themselves to say wildly speculate that she came in third place (which is amazing because she clearly said second in a very public place...) Neither V1man or I ever posted the final order on this forum and we won't be posting said order for The Ruins either. We do spoilers here, but do not ruin the final outcomes of the shows we love.
