Why won't they leave Evan alone!
[quote=TheQuietOne;77182]So now only people with "good souls" deserve to win?[/quote] Yeah, I thought it was silly. Jenn was letting her emotions talk, of course. How did anyone screw up since Evan was picked?
God it is just funnier each time he gets called out.
From Evan's face you would think it was, like, his mom that called him out lol. I find it funny that Jenn talks big shit about Aneesa, but doesn't she call out Diem?
Poor Evan
Why Diem? After you talked all that crap.
Why (and how) are these girls fighting over RACHEL? She's in great shape, but it's still [I]Rachel[/I]...
At least Derek won't have Eric pushing him off every time he tries to climb!
[QUOTE=Isabella;77175]Refresh my memory because I didn't get to watch the Duel when it aired. I've seen some episodes online after that just to see Wes and Svetlana. Did they do this big list thing on that challenge? Because I think it's held this one back from being entertaining somewhat.[/QUOTE] No, they didn't do that on Duel 1, but that could have a lot to do with the fact that the selection process took place right after the challenge was over, so there was no deliberation period.
Is anyone else here watching this from Canada?

I do not feel bad one bit for evan. You talk the talk, now walk the walk.
I think Jenn and Diem could be a decent matchup. I don't think one is much stronger than the other. Jenn seems more fierce for something like Push Over, but they will be on the ground instead of in the air, so Diem might feel a lot more comfortable. At least she didn't get really upset for getting called out this time.
The only thing I dont like about Push Over is that the platform is so small. I think it should be wider or in a different shape, then it'd be more intense because it'd take moe effort to get the other person off. A lack of balance could lose that Duel.
RW, I think Diem has changed, and I think it will be a good Duel.
They are seriously getting lazy and uncreative with these prizes...
Yeah Diem for me has never been more likable. And the past I was like, this chick has way too much entitlement. Evan used to seem cocky and arrogant to me. On this challenge he's showing a more human side. He's showing fear even when he has little reason for it IMO.
Was anyone else annoyed by how they cut to commercial all of a sudden? I kind of agree that Evan has been a smidge more palatable in these later challenge episodes. I'd still prefer Derek to win the duel, though.
[QUOTE=cystic;77203]They are seriously getting lazy and uncreative with these prizes...[/QUOTE] It is likely more the byproduct of the economy and advertisers reluctance to contribute prizes with so little marketing benefit in return.
Gosh, it really seems at this point Derek does not know what he is doing.
[QUOTE=Dartagnan;77211]Gosh, it really seems at this point Derek does not know what he is doing.[/QUOTE] Yeah he is sucking big time...that has to suck!
[quote=V1man;77210]It is likely more the byproduct of the economy and advertisers reluctance to contribute prizes with so little marketing benefit in return.[/quote] Kinda sucks compared to past challenges where they'd give away half a dozen Saturns!
I wonder if anyone has thought of a strategy of laying out all of the pieces in the order they are supposed to go on the wall and then climbing to put them up. Is that allowed in the rules? I'd like Derek to have another challenge experience so we can see if he can have a good showing competing. Though a gas card is not exciting, I think it's a good prize for one duel round, at least. Very useful.
Poor Derek. It seems like both shows he has been on, he has gotten stuck with the one thing he cannot do.
Woah Diem looks pumped lol
Whoa, judging by the look on Diem's face, she is taking no prisoners.
Yeah! Evan wins 3-0 in the duel. But its sad to see Derek didn't really make an effort.
I felt so bad for Derek. He seems like such a good guy. ANd he was having such a hard time.
I started saying to myself "Wow Rachel must be so nervous" right before they cut to her saying she was sick to her stomach ha.
I'm surprised to see Diem come and play so hard.
[quote=Dartagnan;77223]I'm surprised to see Diem come and play so hard.[/quote] She always gives it her all!! She is a strong woman.
