Previously on The Duel 2: Landon was hot, Neh was weird, Evan pouted alot, and Jenn got her freak on with Rachel. Like the Kool-Aid man said, Oh yeah! Oh, and Mark was old and and TJ smoked a lot of weed and I still want Rob Dyrdek to host this.
Confession time: I'm a re-cap behind. I won't get into the how's and why's but we'll run through the week before's episode super quick, then take our sweet, sweet time with this week's. Ready?
And now its time for the opening, or what I like to call, "30 Seconds Of Douchebaggery: a Retrospective on Killing the Culutrally Significant Starring a Bunch of Tools."
It's someone's birthday! And that someone is my homeboy Brad! And Big Easy's is just a few days away. Which means it's party time, and even better, a theme party!
I'm not sure what the theme is besides being a tool--everyone is dressed up in random outfits. Issac is wearing overalls, but I'll forgive him for doing it. Thats how much I like him.
Paula and Dunbar flirt in a corner and I throw up in my mouth a bit. Paula insists that she doesn't like him and they are just friends.
Speaking of flirting, MJ and Issac are talking VERYclosely. Are MJ and Isaac going to kiss? If that means more Issac I'm down!
Issac gets super drunk and passes out, and they decide to cut his toenail, which might be more adequately described as a talon. That thing is FUNKY.
Ruthie and Aneesa talk outside. They're at the halfway mark. Already? Aneesa promises Ruthie she'll call Issac, which means she won't. Bitch!
Isaac wakes up from his drunken slumber to find his prized talon gone. He says he's been growing his toe nails for the last four months. Weird, but you are still my homeboy.
Time for the next challenge. The Bong Master welcomes them to DON'T LET GO, which sounds like a Danity Kane track to me.
Once again, guy-girl partners. I'm getting sick of this partner B.S. since it's the same two players every single time. Which is surprising, because I have a feeling they have all been "partners" with each other after various drunken nights.
In today's challenge, one is harnessed and hanging off the platform, one has to stand on the edge of the platform and hold their partner for as long as they can. When they can't hold on anymore, the hanging partner goes bungee jumping down. Slightly more exciting then last week yet still kinda yawn.
Back to the show, where Not-Rob tells us that our prize is once again, the stupid Google phone from T-Mobile. Yippee skippee, get an IPHONE. Man, even the prizes are getting predictable this season! Although I wouldn't mind a pair of those Dr. Dre noise-canceling headphones....
Brit and Lando get to pick the order since they won last week. Paula and Dunbar go first and I think that Dunbar enjoys letting her fall. Lets hope no one has to hold Big Easy.
Kim and Derek are next, and surprise, Kim hates heights (and black people, if you watched her season). She's bitching the entire time. I will enjoy watching her fall into the ravine.
Nothing too exciting happens with the other pairs, then Evan and Diem go. Let's see if she can find a way to DQ herself. She is of course, scared of heights and tells us that she likes her life too much to risk the fall. I would implore you to watch the premiere of this show where your ex-boyfriend was a raging lunatic and you said it was all your fault before you tell me how great your life is.
As she hangs over the side, she screams at Evan not to let her fall. You have to fall at some time sweet cheeks, that's the whole point. Not like Evan is going to hold on to you with his right arm and type on his computer with his left for the rest of his life. Evan tells us that Diem is annoying him and he doesn't "speak gibberish, I speak Canadian-English." Sorry, but isn't that the same thing?

HEY, lay off Kimberly-She's been NICE and kind to everyone and didn't even get mad when Dunbar picked Paula. Who cares if she's racist, I'm sure there's more that are, they are just keeping it quiet. She's the ONLY one with GUTS to admit it.
And I was mad that both Isaac and Eric went home, I was hoping Derek would pick Evan and take him out.
Anyway, I predict Dunbar and Paula will go home next week.

I'm with Blakelovesthechallenge.....I know Kim made a dumb comment on her other show but she seems to be one of the most normal chicks in the house.

Honestly, Bri herself has said that Kim was one of the people she was closest to in the Hollywood house and that she and Kim have talked about all the comments in that one ep. I couldn't stand Kim on her RW season, but on this challenge, she really hasn't bothered me at all -- I'll take her ANY DAY over Paula, for sure.

I have to admit yet again, how much I love this friggin' show. And the recaps just make me like it even more, because I get to read about all of the things that I am thinking while I watch it.
But I must say that I get so friggin sick and tired of listening to these pansy ass guys talk about how others are playing the game shady. Same with survivor and pretty much every other reality game show. "They don't play the game with honor." "He lied to me." blah, blah, blah.
It is a game. They are all there to win. is there a right way and a worng way to win as long as it is within the rules?
Every time Evan has got called into the Duel he has bitched and moaned like a little ol' girl. Look at Big Easy and Landon. they get called in and they go in whithout a word to say and do their best to win. Landon took care of business without saying a word. Big Easy went home without a cross word to anyone.
If I wnet on one of these shows I would lie, cheat and steal to win. And even more importantly I would expcest everyone else to do the same to me.
I will say that the duels will be pretty interesting from here on out because all of the weaker players are gone.

PopPrincess I LOL'd when I saw you spelled Florida wrong. I can relate though, I once posted a smartass facebook comment spelling genius wrong. Ah the irony.
Also, am I a total tool because I kept laughing at the fact that all the duelers had rhyming names? Eric and Derek and Kim and Jenn. Heee hee.
I think the answer is yes, yes I am a total tool.
Awesome recap!!

Kimberly isn't half as annoying as she was on RW. Actually she's not too bad, but I still love your references to blackville. Kim should've picked Diem - what a total fake (she couldn't have picked Brittini b/c her and Landon won that challenge).

Evan is totally the Danny Gokey of RR/RW Challenges!

You know I was really hoping Mark would win the challenge again just so he could yell "PRUNES!", grab onto his walker, and then wonder where the hell he is.
...Or maybe I will just leave all of the old jokes up to you PopPrincess.
Excellente recap, I was just as annoyed with Paula as you were. I never thought she was that bad until now. I mean, at the end of the Island she was a whiny snot, but now she is one of those clingy, whiny snots. WHAT WILL FIX THIS NONSENSE??
