[QUOTE=Rambo;83448]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.[/QUOTE] Why? Because Landon broke the rules. He was really DQ'd in round one.
[quote=V1man;83462]Why? Because Landon broke the rules. He was really DQ'd in round one.[/quote] Oh ok that makes sense, they put the 1 up for Brad's score right when he clamped it on so I figured he got the point for hooking it on. Thanks for clearing that up.
[quote=Bacchus;83458]No...[B]OTHER[/B] people took it upon themselves to wildly speculate that she came in third place (which is amazing because she[I] clearly[/I] said second in a very public place...) Neither V1man or I [I]ever[/I] 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..[/quote] Other people? Okay I know I'm not crazy. It came from somewhere. Just not the people who knew what they were talking about. lol. I'm new here!
[quote=Isabella;83468]Other people? Okay I know I'm not crazy. It came from somewhere. Just not the people who knew what they were talking about. lol. I'm new here![/quote] This upcoming season (The Ruins) we have a [URL="http://vevmo.com/f187/the-ruins-mtv-spoilers-3039/"]spoiler thread[/URL] that is only open to editorial staff postings and then we have everything else. I don't watch the "everything else" that closely so take it with a grain of salt. :D [B]Note:[/B] With The Duel II, a dial up interconnection, a web browser and the right friends on facebook would have gotten you the correct order a few days after filming ended.

The finale was breath taking and I was at the edge of my seat the entire team, even though I knew the outcome of it. Brad and Landon's Duel is my now 2nd favorite elimination round. I'm glad Brad won two Duel's but I just feel terrible for Landon. Although it has been stated many times that Landon was not in the alliance, even I felt some type of way. I'm not happy about the way Evan talked to Brittini, but what can you do. Money makes you do/say crazy things. As you all probably know, I am in my glory right now, grinning ear to ear. Yay for an Evan win. PS. Brittini, thanks for proving us all wrong, well not me. :)
Even though I knew it was going to happen, I jumped even the second time watching Landon slam Brad into that wall.
Yeah, Landon was really brutal with Brad in that elimination round, and though Landon was a wrestler and is very strong, it was surprising to see Landon handle Brad like that. Brad always has to deal with the wild and fierce guys in these things! He is tough enough himself, but when you get Abram, CT, and Landon to go against, it's a lot to deal with when you have a physical endgame.
I give him props because he beat CT and Landon and came close to beating Abram. But he beat CT by DQ and Landon by a second. But still, a win is a win.
Is it me or did it seem like Rachel secretly wanted Diem to win? Possibly because it would guarantee her 1st place since she probably feels Brit was then her toughest competition.

[quote=Famous.;83580]Is it me or did it seem like Rachel secretly wanted Diem to win? Possibly because it would guarantee her 1st place since she probably feels Brit was then her toughest competition.[/quote] No, she said many times she wanted Her, Brittini, and Aneesa in the final.
[quote=blanky667;83579]I give him props because he beat CT and Landon and came close to beating Abram. But he beat CT by DQ and Landon by a second. But still, a win is a win.[/quote] Plus, he came extremely close to beating Wes and Evan in the final missions.
[quote=Famous.;83580]Is it me or did it seem like Rachel secretly wanted Diem to win?

Diem's biggest strength was long distance running, so she was probably the one to beat.
[quote=tjhallow;83581]No, she said many times she wanted Her, Brittini, and Aneesa in the final.[/quote] I am aware, but that was before the Diem/Brit duel took place.
I feel for Brad. Lost to Wes by just a little bit on Duel #1, and literally by a couple steps to Evan on Duel #2. I think it was V1Man who said we'll all feel bad for Brad after the final episode, and yeah, I'll have to say he was right.

Evan still caught up to Brad, and he had a good lead but he was just in 2 Duels.
[quote=tjhallow;83586]No, Rachel thought her biggest competition was Tori.[/quote] Tori was already out when the Diem/Brit duel took place. So the "biggest competition" slot was open. Lol
Oh I haven't mentioned this yet... but I LOVED Diem's sass tonight. It was amazing. "I'm not going to let two girls sleep easily tonight." "None of you can be mad at who I call out because you all said my name." LOVED it.
[quote=Famous.;83589]Tori was already out when the Diem/Brit duel took place. So the "biggest competition" slot was open. Lol[/quote] I think Diem filled that slot, until she went home. I think if Diem would've won that Duel, she could've gotten first place.

"None of you can be mad at who I call out because you all said my name." LOVED it.[/quote] I love the new fierce Diem, so much better than the whiny Diem we seen on past challenges.
[quote=TheQuietOne;83592]I think Diem filled that slot, until she went home. I think if Diem would've won that Duel, she could've gotten first place.[/quote] I think she would of won too. In the past challenges it shows that she is a good runner.
Diem was smokin hot on this challenge, kinda sucks that the platform thing was wet because I think she would've won otherwise, looked like she slipped because of the rain.
It was really cool to see Brad get angry and intense and I would have liked to see Landon's injury get mentioned. After seeing it though, I agree that it's possible Brad could beat Landon. Which he did. I was sad Diem lost, I think if it wasn't for the rain, she would've won cause it seemed like she had a better strategy going into it. After this episode, and a couple of the other episodes before this one, I have to say, I'm starting to be okay with Evan. Not really like him, but I don't hate him. He was okay. Felt bad for Brad but at least this is the first time he's actually WON money on the challenges.
Evan won. It was only obvious from day one when they made him the "star" of that horrible opening sequence.

I'm really proud of Aneesa, for winning 3 Duels. I loved the finale, to be honest, this was probably the first finale in a long time that had me on the edge of my seat.

Yeah even knowing the spoilers I was really excited with this final. Rachel basically shut everyone who doubted her ability up.
[QUOTE=producer88;83614]Yeah even knowing the spoilers I was really excited with this final. Rachel basically shut everyone who doubted her ability up.[/QUOTE] Everyone? Has Evelyn been heard from? I guess we'll just have to wait for that matchup. Has Kelly Anne been heard from? Perhaps there will be a rematch.
Evelyn would wreck Rachel, no doubt in my mind.
There is no need to have a debate about it here. Further discussion would be off topic.
