The Duel II: Speculation (Non-Spoiler)

I figured we could post speculation and other stuff in here instead of the actual Challenge thread.

Spoilers and speculation are two very different things.

Well at first I thought the an alliance would be: Evan, CT, Brad, Adam, Diem, Paula and Tori. Someone also said that Brittani had an interesting group of friends so I also place Her with this group. Since Evan and Paula hung out with the Hollywood cast alot during taping. Then I read that CT wants Evan out. So now that eliminates CT and most likely Diem from that equation. Then I did some myspace hunting and found out that Veteran Mark is pretty cool with Evan and Paula. So know I really dont know who Brad is closer to CT or Evan, So I dont know where that leaves Brad and Tori. I would have place Mark and Robin together, but Mark dont wanna allign with the crazy girl. Im not sure of the relationship between Katie and the Vet guys from G3. I dont know if she dislikes them or what. I know she is cool with Coral and Eric. Speaking of Eric, I dont know where he stands with G3 vets either. Am I babbling now or making any sense because I have so much more to say.

Your only babble is with Coral. She is not on the challenge. The speculation stuff is all for you guys. I'm staying out of it entirely.

Yea, Sorry about that, I hadn't read that stuff yet.

Sean your first post was great! I think you might be on to something!

i think brad and tori will be in an alliance with eric, ryan, katie, robin, ?diem?, (and maybe paula but robin had a blog on iamonmtv expressing how she felt hurt by her friends and paula was one of those). I know some of you might think that brad and katie will not want to play the game with robin but i highly doubt it. Katie and Robin are #2 on each others myspace and they consider each other best friends. With Brad, him and Robin are close and true friends dont turn their backs on you just because you are not at your best state. And I dont think Brad is that kind of dude. but thats just my opinion we will have to watch and see.

I agree with you in the fact the Brad is a good guy, we all saw G3 and the Eric situation. Now granted he and Robin were on the same RW season, so they go pretty far back. But robin is a mess...and I don't think anyone wants to jump on that sinking ship!

I think Robin will be regarded as the non-threat people keep around in case they get called into the Duel and need a guranteed win.

Okay guys a lil bit more. Im going to start of with Jenn. Jenn and Aneesa were like BFF on I3 and we all know the lil thingy between Racheal and Jenn on the Island. And in this game friendships carry you far. If Aneesa and Jenn friendship is still intact and Racheal and Aneesa can get over their past, I see a kinda strong trio. Im sure Ruthie and Aneesa have ties, so maybe a foursome and wow they all like ************ action. The lesbian Alliance lol. they just need to add Brooke. Speaking of Brooke, I dont know where she falls. I can totally see an Denver alliance if they have to pick each other like in Duel 1. Jenn's pretty popular and she can pick davis and davis pick Brooke. IDK, lol. Davis doesnt really have anybody on the boys side. I really dont see him staying long at all unless he has been working on his strength or something. more later Im at work.

OMG, I totally forgot about Davis! Ugh...! I see this as dividing down between the weak vs. the strong. I heard that CT wants to take out Evan right away, so maybe the strongest will be busy trying to take out each other and won't notice the little alliances springing up between weaker players trying to survive.

I wouldn't mind a Davis/CT alliance.

Wasn't CT the one who punched Davis on I3?

Yep...I would be quite surprised if they aligned with each other.

Yea, but - I think an apology was made and all is forgiven - I think.

CT could just go rogue and not have any alliance (although I doubt that.) As long as CT doesn't rock the boat too much, he will probably avoid a lot of duels just by being CT and he could very possibly make it to the end, if not win.

Anybody know the status with Aneesa and Diem. If you guys recall. Aneesa made a promise to Diem that she later had to break because Jodi won the mission. Diem seem very um ummm Pissed about the whole situation and Anessa was sincerly sorry. So anybody knows? and will CT hold this against here?

Jeeezzzz, LOL. On whose account. CT OR Davis? Who is still holding on. CT didnt hit Davis out of dislike. Well what the hell do I know, LOL.

Im so done with the Whole CT/Davis thing. LOL. I will just have to wait.

It always surprising to find out which cast members are cool with each other and which ones aren't. Tyrie forgave Davis for the nonsense D. started on their season, but Davis and CT are still angry over a drunken punch? (Don't get me wrong, I'd probably still be mad too, I'm just trying to say that it's weird how some people get over the crap that happens on these shows and some don't.)

Yea its really a toss up, I asked about the Aneesa/Diem situation on Duel 1. I guess no one really knows and we will just have to see.

I don't think Diem and Aneesa were ever really buddy-buddy. Obviously, this is all speculation, but on the original Duel it was portrayed that Robin, Diem, Kina, Jodi, and I think someone else were in a clique of sorts, and Svetlana and Aneesa were outcasts. Plus, Diem seems to get mad at anyone who calls her into any sort of elimination game. I don't think there's any rage or hostility towards each other (Aneesa never seemed to have a problem with Diem and was really bummed about going into a Duel with her), but I also don't think they will be entering into an alliance together.

I'd urge people to think of past challenge and real life events simply as tools. When you find yourself in a situation on a challenge where one of your tools may be useful to you then you reach into your tool box and bring it out. Aneesa, for example, has both a real-life tool (with Rachel) and a challenge experience (with Robin) which she may feel she needs to use at some point in the game. For the purpose of understanding the game in this context, I would define it as beginning upon learning that the person who "gave" you the tool is on this challenge. For some, tools were used in building alliances before Tuesday. For others, their tools were used while in the terminal at LAX. The really smart ones will hold on to their tools until that critical moment during the challenge when it can be THE game breaker.

I thought about Davis too...I think he will be the first guy to get singled out. I dont know but did CT ever feel bad about punching davis? if so, maybe he will be making ammends by keeping davis under his wing or something like that. I just hope they dont call out the weak dude first to go with into the duel. That will be disapointing...I want to see a fierce competition nevermind about the davis ct question i didnt know the thread had more pages

I would think Ryan would be considered weaker than Davis. IMO.

yes but ryan is oddly popular... if it were davis vs ryan you would think davis to win? i hope so. I missed inferno 3 so i dont know how decent davis is
