'The Titan Games' Season 2 Episode 11: As Courtney wins fans say Hannah Teter made it to Mt Olympus 'by default'

Courtney Roselle storms through Mount Olympus and is crowned reigning champion of the East

The Eastern Regional Finals took place on 'The Titan Games', and golly, wasn't it a nerve-wracking one. While Joshua Porter overtook Andrew Hanus at 'Hammer Down' and defeated Tyron Woodley at 'Resistance', the women put up a tough battle. In 'Hammer Down', Dasha Kuret, who was finishing last, made a spectacular comeback and knocked all her poles down and made it to the victory chain before Haley Johnson and Hannah Teter. It was a goodbye to Haley, who had won at Mount Olympus twice before. In 'Resistance', Hannah Teter and Dasha Kuret went for it, but neither of them was able to get the barrels over the edge. Hannah advanced to Mount Olympus by default but lost to Courtney Roselle, who stormed her way through the challenging obstacle race. 

Fans said that Courtney just 'flew' through the race. "Hannah got to the tomb, but Courtney just FLIES with that ball and chain. Retains, and wins the east. Will be Courtney Roselle, Dani Speegle, Margaux Alvarez for the Championship. #TitanGames," a fan tweeted.

"Yaass, Courtney Roshelle...TITAN OF THE EAST, absolute brilliance#TitanGames," another wrote.

Others had been sure than Hannah couldn't take on Courtney and said that she had advanced to Mt Olympus by 'default'. "Hannah advances by default out of Round 2 with one barrel over. I...am very skeptical she'll keep up with Courtney. #TitanGames," tweeted one.

"I was surprised that Hannah could pull that ball and chain #TitanGames," one wrote.

Now fans can't wait to see Courtney take on Dani Speegle and Margaux Alvarez, the Central and West champions. "Dani Speegle, Margaux Alvarez, and Courtney Roselle are all Crossfit athletes and Games and/or Open competitors. Very clear that Crossfit makes you an absolute BEAST at this. That 3 way battle is going to be incredible. All 3 of these women are just amazing. #TitanGames," another tweeted.

In an interview to MEA Worldwide, Courtney opened up about what motivated her to join 'The Titan Games'. "There's 10,000 applicants that went out for the show and I'm one of the 36 contestants that were picked. I was so taken back that The Rock picked me to be there. The second reason was to represent New Jersey and to represent my family and put on the best performance possible, no matter what went out there, good or bad. I just want to make sure that my story was heard and that I had the best performance and I was representing my family, New Jersey and strong women to the best of my ability," she said.

'The Titan Games' airs on NBC on Mondays at 8 pm.
