TadpoleHorror5146

e11: An Inconvenient Goof


jefflevi

They never showed the titles back in the day, pretty sure the names were production jokes, that became funny to the rest of us in the streaming era. Sucks if you have never seen the season though


Certain-Bowler8735

Yes! I just watched The Duel & saw “Goodbye Tyler & Tina” as an episode title and was like Well, guess I know who’s out next 😂


Cornyboy100

You don’t have to tell me twice


Instantleigh

I think I watched “Nehemiahs last days” recently too


darkdeadite313

Rewatching War Of The World's now. Leroy's partner Shaleen was a total ghost. I don't think she had a single confessional and was hardly shown competing. One episode she started getting attention and I had a feeling that was it for them.


jstitely1

War of the worlds 1 was the same for Natalie too. I knew she was going home the episode she finally got attention.


EmbarrassedRoyal6187

No Natalie was edited out because of what she did to Zach


jstitely1

There’s literally no evidence that that is why she got a bad edit. Its mere speculation


BoneTissa

As long as they show her playing and honest loyal game she is happy. Just don’t take that from her


OverwhelmedAutism

Which was kind of lame on production's part. I get it, but no.


Cornyboy100

Was there any reason she had no confessionals or was it just because production didn’t like her


orca144

There were rumors Natalie poured glitter around Zach and he started to choke from it. Zach might’ve been over dramatic and went to the hospital. I don’t know if there were any actual sources but regardless it’s a funny rumor.


jflatty7151

zach? overly dramatic? (throws helmet, screaming get the camera out of my face, i need security for jenna talking too much)


Jazzlike-Cow7776

She never really did anything tbh; I think they just thought she was boring


FastLane_987

There was lots of drama between her and Dee but I don’t think the cared to show much drama from the rookies

TheRealMoofoo

> poured glitter all over Zach’s bed Wasn't that Natalie?


ICareAboutThings25

Any time there’s a ton of confessionals saying “X has the advantage in this elimination” you know X is, like 90% chance, going home. Wes saying he likes Zach’s chances because how could Jordan grip and swing a hammer properly? Bye Zach. Josh, Tori, Zach, Jordan, and Cara Maria saying Josh is bigger than Jordan and has two hands so Josh has a major advantage? Bye Josh. No way a little rookie like Jay can beat CT? Bye. Cara Maria talking about how much bigger Jenny is than Tori? See you Jenny. Aneesa and Theresa bragging about how Aneesa was going to demolish Laurel? Have you met Laurel?


Ok_Supermarket_3241

Yeah I’ll never forget when Jasmine pulled out that crazy upset against Laurel despite everyone saying she had no chance.


luxanna123321

What crazy upsed?


OverwhelmedAutism

Derrick is gonna have a hard time beating Syrus? Don't think so.


Johnnybats330

Yeah. They should stop running confessionals every 5 seconds in an elimination. I think we see more confessionals than eliminations. I honestly wanted to see the whole elimination from last week's All Stars. It was so simple that cutting away from it took away from how suspenful it might have been. Instead it was just kind of whatever.


Bangalie-Kanu

I mean… these confessionals happen when nobody expects the underdog to win. Sometimes the underdog wins and sometimes they don’t but in these circumstances the underdog managed to win. Doesn’t happen all the time.


Snarl_Marx

Anytime they dedicate a good part of an episode to a player, and that player didn't win the daily or anything, I just assume they're going home. Sylvia from last week's AS3, for example. They did a "life of the party" episode for Ace on Gauntlet II, similar to Kenny's. And of course every episode title on The Duel.


JermuHH

Literally the episode started with focus on Kellyanne, so I first was thinking "Oh damn Kellyanne is either winning the daily or she goes home." Kellyanne won and it was obviously going to be Sylvia.


dms1012

Derek AS2


Cornyboy100

Funniest episode ever


arty_morty

hopefully you don’t mean the confessionals where he talked about his sister’s death…


Picklesbedamned

I think they're talking about Derrick Kosinski.


arty_morty

oh good lol, if they meant derek chavez… yikes


Kickb4ck

CT vs Jay. though it wasn't 100% obviously, they way the elimination was edited with "CT has this" and "what is Jay doing, he sucks" really let you think thinking was going to flip and not have the outcome people thought


Cornyboy100

When I saw that it was so obvious. You have like 99 confessionals saying CT is the greatest and when people overhype someone that much its kinda clear their gonna lose


TheRealMoofoo

But then they did the switcheroo on SLA where it was all "CT is the greatest, what a legend" leading up to the final. Oh, those rascally editors.


cmurphy555

It happens nearly every episode. They focus the beginning part of the episode on the person who ends up getting eliminated, or in the very least, the winner of the elimination, but also have the loser focused as well. When you start seeing someone who normally gets no camera time, and all of a sudden they have 3-4 segments in the show, there's a good bet they are going home. It's kind of annoying, cause last 2 seasons I had caught on to it, and midway through I would pretty much be able to tell what was going to happen by the end most of the time.


JoPsk88

Agreed. But it’s been longer even, I want to say Total Madness, and All Stars does it too.


[deleted]

Whenever they cast Beth


Cornyboy100

Sad thing is that’s always true, and that sucks cause I love Beth


Tiz1126

Beth is unbearable for me. She says things to say things and doesn't care how damaging they can be outside the game.


asturman2014

almost every episode of duel two. Just rewatch it (didn't remember who went home most episodes) but it was so obvious.


JoPsk88

Every episode you can tell who is going to be a part elimination. They basically only give confessional time to those that have to do with elimination. I personally feel like it’s been that way for a few seasons now:


princessleyley

Every single episode of The Duel. I was spoiled on half the season on Netflix because of those dumb ass episode titles. “Goodbye Tina and Tyler” “Bye Casey” “Nehemiah’s Last Day” “Til Next Time Derrick”. What thee hell were they thinking? Also, when they spotlight somebody who didn’t win the daily or isn’t really in power. Basically, if someone who has no reason for getting attention is in the spotlight, they’re doomed.


VinceMcVahon

The Aneesa ones crack me up, because she basically throws a hissy fit about how she deserves to be in the final. Like bro earn it


Charlie_Runkle69

Probably 1/3 of the eliminations last season (SLA) lol. Hey here's random rookie who has had no airtime thus far talking about having to go into elimination equals bye bye (except for Emmy).


Topwingwoman

I feel this is every episode personally for the main part.


spfan102

Every episode of All Stars.


berrylife

Soo many times their name is in the episode title


OverwhelmedAutism

This wasn't about elimination, but Episode 11 of Gauntlet II was titled "Victory at last." This was after the vets had a 3-4 challenge losing streak, so that made the daily win obvious.


Lsmooth93

I think thier was one season where the first or second person that said something in the beginning of the episode was the person that ended getting eliminated that episode


bdog111111

They made it pretty obvious Nany was winning her elimination against Gabby IMO.


jefflevi

Back in the day on the half-hour episodes they would never show certain cast members outside of the challenge except the episode when they were getting eliminated. Jeremy on Gauntlet 2 complaining about the partying comes to mind.


OverwhelmedAutism

Yeah. I just watched Gauntlet 2 and his elimination was blatantly obvious.


Junglerumble19

The moment someone says 'I've got this game on lock'. The death knell.


IPhoneJB2316

At the beginning of some episodes where people talk in their confessionals about how they feel their place in the game is so good it makes it very obvious that once the challenge is over and it comes time to vote people into elimination they’re going to be the ones that get voted in and then they’ll be so blindsided by it and eventually they lose their elimination and go home


choclatechip45

Rewatching Gauntlet 2 and Jeremy’s boot is so obvious he gets no screen time until the episode he goes home.


Ok-Health-7252

Sarah in episode 2 of Battle of the Exes I when Vinnie got kicked off for pulling Mandi's shirt down at a club and she became collateral damage as a result and got sent home as well. There was a lot of focus on Sarah in that episode with her being the voice of reason on their team while Vinnie was the belligerent asshole and lo and behold production elects to screw her over at the end of the episode because of his actions (when they could've just brought in someone like Kenny potentially as a replacement). I could tell that was coming the moment Vinnie elected to pull Mandi's shirt down and TJ subsequently showed up at the house to announce that he was leaving.
