The Duel 2: Ep. 3 - Discussion

How many times has Evan actually betrayed Paula, though? Is she misplacing her anger towards Johnny and Kenny on him? Or does he treat her badly outside of the challenges. Ha! I like that Evan's strategies and talk seem to be backfiring on him a little.

Aw I like the music and how Nehemiah and Brad were on terms with each other. Did anybody catch the name of the song? I actually...KINDA felt bad for Paula haha.

Morris, I honestly do not have it in me to feel bad for Paula. She brings it on herself. And Evan's sudden confidence is really annoying.

[quote=tjhallow;62131]LMFAOOOOO, Nedermeyer.[/quote] I wonder what was going on in his head when he chose Paula. Bad oversight on his part.

When Nedermeyer leaves, the real competition starts.

Overall a decent episode. Two of my challenge faves won the mission, and people are still distrusting Evan, and it's in spite of him trying to do something to prevent it.

why is everyone calling nehemiah, nedermeyer?

I know, wathcing Landon and Ruthie win, Evan almost lose and becoming distrusted, and watch Paula get screwed once again made this episode great.

Nehem picking Paula was stOOOpid. And so is Evan. I was rooting for Davis to destroy him. Bummer.

[quote=EastNY;62139]why is everyone calling nehemiah, nedermeyer?[/quote] The cast used to call him on that on G3.

At least Paula is realizing that she has horrible taste in friends. Enjoy her brief moment of lucidity!

[quote=Zereaux;62143]At least Paula is realizing that she has horrible taste in friends. Enjoy her brief moment of lucidity![/quote] The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I still don't like Paula or think she will change.

[quote=Dartagnan;62140]I know, wathcing Landon and Ruthie win, Evan almost lose and becoming distrusted, and watch Paula get screwed once again made this episode great.[/quote] That's right, I forgot to add the part about Evan having to do a duel in the mix. And Paula being left out works, too. They both weren't secure, and perhaps people won't let them run things so much anymore.

[quote=tjhallow;62142]The cast used to call him on that on G3.[/quote] Wasn't that a Kenny thing, though?

[quote=Dartagnan;62144]The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I still don't like Paula or think she will change.[/quote] Of course she won't. Evan could cut her arm off and force her to drink her own urine, and she would probably STILL go crawling back to him.

[quote=RW561015;62147]Wasn't that a Kenny thing, though?[/quote] No I heard it out of Coral's mouth as well. Maybe Evan's. I know for sure it came out of Coral's mouth.

[QUOTE=EastNY;62139]why is everyone calling nehemiah, nedermeyer?[/QUOTE] I asked a couple of cast members this question after G3. The answer was that it was just a similar sounding cool name someone remembered from the movie "Animal House."

[QUOTE=RW561015;62147]Wasn't that a Kenny thing, though?[/QUOTE] I thought it was Coral who called him that first, when she announced that her vets team was sending him into the first male gauntlet

RW, the Veteran team, specifically Coral, would call him that. I think that this episode needed a bit more of Tori. I don't know if it is the edit, but she seems so quiet this Challenge.

Before the Duel, Evan said something about "Spot On" being the only Duel that Davis had a chance to beat him because it was puzzle based. Does anyone else share that opinion?

[quote=Sleepy I;62153]Before the Duel, Evan said something about "Spot On" being the only Duel that Davis had a chance to beat him because it was puzzle based. Does anyone else share that opinion?[/quote] Yes.

Is anyone else finding this challenge incredibly boring.. and almost a waste of time to watch?

[QUOTE=Sleepy I;62153]Before the Duel, Evan said something about "Spot On" being the only Duel that Davis had a chance to beat him because it was puzzle based. Does anyone else share that opinion?[/QUOTE] No, but the random nature of the challenge selection process doesn't mean that Evan will be pitted against the right person at the right moment.

[quote=ryan01;62155]Is anyone else finding this challenge incredibly boring.. and almost a waste of time to watch?[/quote] Not at all. This is the best Challenge since The Gauntlet 2 in my opinion.

[quote=ryan01;62155]Is anyone else finding this challenge incredibly boring.. and almost a waste of time to watch?[/quote] I miss the drama and the hook-ups lol. G3 set the bar after that ****** challenge called the Inferno tres.

[QUOTE=ryan01;62155]Is anyone else finding this challenge incredibly boring.. and almost a waste of time to watch?[/QUOTE] I'm finding it interesting. The rope thing for the women was an interesting idea, but the editing sucked -- along with really ****** camera work. Cheap production work (ie, not enough cameras) really pushes my buttons.

[quote=Dartagnan;62152]RW, the Veteran team, specifically Coral, would call him that. I think that this episode needed a bit more of Tori. I don't know if it is the edit, but she seems so quiet this Challenge.[/quote] I didn't remember that. But I don't care to remember back on that challenge much, actually! I wouldn't be surprised to see an emotional outburst from Tori at some point or another, lol. She usually has at least one a season. Remember she will have that drama with Brad coming up at some point, based on the trailers. That is, if they choose to show it. ryan01, I still am getting some enjoyment from seeing the people I like in this challenge. I do think this constant over discussing of the order of the lineup down to the last person can be annoying, though.

[quote=V1man;62150]I asked a couple of cast members this question after G3. The answer was that it was just a similar sounding cool name someone remembered from the movie "Animal House."[/quote] I thought it was Tenderoni? Or was that just his Duel nickname? ;)

Cheap production work (ie, not enough cameras) really pushes my buttons.[/quote] I liked the rope Challenge as well, and notice some bad camera work, but in the end couldn't notice it too much, but you knowing and doing editing probably makes you more keen to spotting it.
