'The Titan Games' Season 2 Episode 5 Best Moments: Noah Palicia remains Titan, Kelly Valdez's unfortunate loss
If you thought that you could take a breath after last week's electrifying episode of 'The Titan Games', you have another think coming. In the latest episode, Kelly Stone and Margaux Alvarez were pitted against each other, with Margaux defeating Kelly squarely before she went on to win against reigning Titan Kelly Valdez at Mount Olympus. Meanwhile, Exodus Rogers was on fire, for most of the episode. He fought hard and well, demolished Mitch Harrison in two challenges. He was all set to win against Noah Palicia at Mount Olympus, but Noah wasn't going to let that happen. Noah has made it clear that he shouldn't be underestimated, as he steamrolled his own brother, Eric and Victor Cruz, in the previous episode of 'The Titan Games'. This week's host of performances were packed with energy and strength. Here are some of the best moments.
Margaux Alvarez vs Kelly Valdez
Margaux was the winner of the night, and she said it was all for her sister, whom she had lost years ago. Winemaker Margaux Alvarez was in no hurry to slow down. After defeating physiotherapist Kelly Stone in the previous two challenges, she steamrolled firefighter Kelly Valdez at Mount Olympus, and emerged as the new Titan. Last week, Kelly Valdez had displayed an enormous amount of strength and agility, and practically breezed her way through Mount Olympus, defeating Jessie Graff. However, she was a little behind Margaux, in this episode. While both of them had a good start, Margaux took the lead after cage crawl. After that, there was no looking back, as Margaux raced towards the heavy ball and chain, and dragged it across. She was the first to put the relic, while Kelly was still struggling behind. In an emotional moment, Margaux rushed to her family, hugging them and repeated that it was for her sister, hoping that she would be proud of her.
Noah Palicia vs Exodus Rogers
Fresh from his victory against Mitch Harrison, Exodus Rogers was sure that he could take on Airforce instructor pilot Noah Palicia at Mount Olympus, and become the reigning Titan. However, Noah Palicia is no lightweight and has been determined to prove that he's a lot more than people see. Though the two had cut-throat competition for quite a while at Mount Olympus, Noah overtook Exodus at the cage crawl. Yet Exodus wasn't going to give up so easily, despite facing a rather worrying fall. He raced towards the ball and chain, and the agony of it all was visible in his yelling, as he tried pulling it. He fell again, but rose. However, Noah had already reached the relic and had managed to defend his title.
Margaux Alvarez vs Kelly Stone
One of the most memorable moments of the night was Margaux and Kelly Stone during the 'Lunar Impact'. That challenge is a tricky one, and is a matter of strength and strategy. In this, it seemed as if Kelly Stone had the upper hand as she kept pushing, and we were sure she just might push Margaux off the plank. However, Margaux picked up her strength in a matter of seconds and pushed with all her strength, and Kelly fell off the plank. The two battled it out at 'Nuts And Bolts', and it appeared as if Kelly Stone would win. However, Margaux decided that victory is hers, and raced through the challenge.
Exodus Rogers vs Mitch Harrison
Throughout the episode, Exodus was filled with insatiable energy and he had his eyes on Mount Olympus. He breezed through 'Kick Out', and 'Chain Linked', while Mitch struggled to catch up. It certainly seemed as if Exodus was going to be the Titan. But never say never, he will return in the next episode and be back with a vengeance!
'The Titan Games' airs on Mondays at 8 pm on NBC.
