The Duel 2: Finale - Episode Discussion

Haha love the picture...can't wait to see this go down.

[quote=Bacchus;83335]No matter how many times I see the opening, I still feel embarrassed for them.[/quote] Lol half of them are really into it, half of them look like they'd rather be somewhere else. On another note... Endurance or no, Aneesa did pretty good in Elevator.

The way some people had been talking in some places (other boards and stuff), I thought Tori might have won. I guess they got the wrong idea and I'm happy it wasn't spoiled for me. I didn't want either competitor to go home, though (neither Brad or MJ as well).

[quote=Bacchus;83335]No matter how many times I see the opening, I still feel embarrassed for them.[/quote] MJ and Nehemiah are so lucky they didn't have to embarrass themselves along with everyone else.

Brad looked like a monkey! He definitely made that look easy.

Wow, Brad really shot up there. He has always been a good competitor, and I think he's shown himself to do better than MJ in these shows, but I was surprised how much speed he had in that one. I enjoyed the Brad and MJ friendship this season.

Yeah Landon, TJ really blew right through. His saunter was astounding.

I see BMP is finally making good edits. Putting flashbacks of the persons time on the show. Great Job!

Maybe it was the editing, but Landon didn't look upset at all when MJ lost. I thought MJ and Landon were really close. On the other hand, I'm happy for Brad.

Landon's shocked? He's everyone's biggest threat, of course they're going to want him gone, or at least a little drained going into the last mission.

[quote=trees12;83349]Maybe it was the editing, but Lasndon didn't look upset at all when MJ lost. I thought MJ and Landon were really close. On the other hand, I'm happy for Brad.[/quote] I've been wondering about their friendship the whole time on this challenge. They seem to care for other people on the challenge more than each other. I feel bad for Landon. Though they really didn't consider him in their alliance, he won so many missions and selected the list of people to help them out. They hav e a right to pick him, though, and for them to turn on each other wouldn't have been good, either. Diem didn't have to feel bad about picking anyone. I did detect some of the typical Diem huffiness, though, in this situation. I did like her strategy of letting the other girls sweat about who she would pick, though.

Interesting way they decided to do the final duel. I actually like this idea.

This is where it gets interesting... Wow! What a surprise for a winning gift! A Kicker __________!

I'm scared now. Whoa, Landon is a beast. Well, he used to be a wrestler. He needs to focus, though. I actually do not like the wrestling/fighting end games.

Whoa, Landon wasn't thinking clearly... A guy's Back Off is almost too hard to watch!

I don't see where he got hurt. Anyone else?

[quote=molds13;83365]I don't see where he got hurt. Anyone else?[/quote] Could be just because I knew he was hurt, but he seemed to be holding his arm to his side kind of funny to me. But again, I could be seeing something that wasn't really there.

OMG! I was trying not to spoil everything, but people have been slipping things out here and there (on other boards, etc), and I was sad I got spoiled. But, some of the info people were throwing out (NOT the insiders, but people elsewhere who I assumed read the spoilers here) was wrong. So this stuff is a shock. I am saddened that Landon is gone, of course. Brad is one of my favorites, though, so good for him winning, and I was feeling bad for him that Landon was getting so rough with him, ramming him into the barriers. Poor Brad always gets these elimination rounds with the guys that will go crazy on him (Abram, CT, Landon). Go Brittini.

Brittini made that first one look EASY. I'm glad both Duels came down to the third option instead of being a 2-0 blowout.

Lol, Brad is still a little hyped from his Duel. Diem shouldn't have used the same tactic twice.

Just advice, if you want spoilers, just read Vevmo's spoilers. They are far more reliable/accurate, imo.

I'm happy for Brad too, but kinda feel bad for Landon. However someone has to go home. Brad was very smart with what he did in the duel.

[QUOTE=molds13;83365]I don't see where he got hurt. Anyone else?[/QUOTE] They didn't show it. Between rounds Landon pushed his shoulder back into place. I think I recall being told that he did it up against the wall. It was obvious to everyone that he was hurt, but obviously BMP decided not to show it. The only indication is the way his left arm is hanging to his side when he shakes hands with Brad.

Brad wants it BAD. So sad Landon's gone. He kicked so much *** only to lose. Well atleast he's won before. Go Brit!

[quote=blanky667;83372]Just advice, if you want spoilers, just read Vevmo's spoilers. They are far more reliable/accurate, imo.[/quote] Well of course I think vevmo's spoilers are accurate, and I read some early on. However, I was NOT trying to read any spoilers about the end or the last several eliminations, and elsewhere people were saying this and this happens, and I thought I was spoiled. I know a lot of people get their info from here, but those particular people who threw that stuff out got things wrong (again, no one on Vevmo, but on another board. Yeah Brittini!

[QUOTE=TheQuietOne;83371] Diem shouldn't have used the same tactic twice.[/QUOTE] I actually think she had the right idea considering that Brittini was coming at her the same way as the last round. It just didn't play out in the right way for her.

This "pick somebody to go into the duel" thing was ********, and a slap in the face to everything top players like Landon, Brit, Rachel, and Mark worked for this entire Duel II challenge.
