'The Titan Games' Season 2 Episode 3: Matt Chan defeats Iron Man Joe Thomas finally, fans say it's well-deserved
It was the Central Region Finals on 'The Titan Games', and wow, it was a never-ending rollercoaster ride. At first, the finalists had to battle it out among in a three-way challenge called 'Hammer Down'. The winner and the runner-up would compete in 'Resistance', and then a final battle at Mount Olympus with the reigning Titan. Chantae McMillan won in 'Hammer Down' but lost to Jaime Seeman in 'Resistance'. Jaime went on to fight Dani Speegle at Mt Olympus, but unfortunately, suffered a defeat as Speegle breezed through the challenge and retained her Titan title.
Meanwhile, something else was happening with the men. Shelby, Matt Chan and Kaleb Ridden fought it out during 'Hammer Down' and Shelby was eliminated. In the 'Resistance' challenge, Chan displayed super strength and won against Ridden. That's not all. Chan defeated NFL great Joe Thomas at Mount Olympus, which is quite a feat as Thomas had been dominating the challenge in the past three episodes. Chan had lost to Thomas in the first episode but is now back in the game.
Chan is the Titan and it will be exciting to see what lies ahead for him at the 'Titan Games'. Fans seemed to have been on edge throughout the episode. "Huge pros to Matt! I can’t wait to see what he does in the finals at the end of the season #TitanGames," a fan tweeted.
"SUCK IT JOE THOMAS! MATT BEAT YOU ONCE AND DID IT AGAIN!!! WELL DESERVED MATT!!!" one wrote.
"The man that wields the sledgehammer the correct way wins! That was awesome," tweeted another fan.
Others noted that Joe Thomas didn't exert his full potential at Mt Olympus. "You’ll never convince me that @joethomas73 didn’t just throw that final round of #TitanGames. He competed at 40%. What a joke! @TheRock," a fan wrote.
Nevertheless, others just want Dwayne Johnson, who is currently the host, to participate in the games as well. "@TheRock Hey Rock, we love Titan Games. Would love to see you do the course. Time the athletes and best time wins. What do you say!!!" a fan wrote.
Next week is going to be an exciting one, indeed. Tune in to all the action of 'The Titan Games' on Mondays at 8 pm on NBC.
