You've got to admit, the participants in the second season of 'The Titan Games' have nerves of steel. While Noah Palicia fiercely defended his Titan title with all his might against Exodus Rogers, Kelly Valdez wasn't so lucky. Valdez, who had raced through all the challenges in the previous episode, suffered a setback at the hands of winemaker Margaux Alverez on Mount Olympus. Margaux won squarely against Kelly Stone in the other two challenges of Nuts N Bolts and Lunar Impact before she took on Valdez on Mt Olympus.

It was a nail-biting watch, and it ended in victory. However, Margaux can't sit on her laurels just yet, as the Western Region finals will take place next week, where she might face one of the two Kellies or even Natalie Talbert for that matter. Nevertheless, the episode was a fun and entertaining watch, and the best quote of the night came from the commentators, "The winemaker has become a Titan!" and fans cannot stop quoting it.

"Hell yes Marguax Alveraz...TITAN," a fan wrote. "And the winemaker is now a titan!" - Quote of the night. #TitanGames," another fan wrote. "Margo turned water into a win," another tweeted. Other fans were rather disappointed that Valdez didn't win. "Kelly did so well last week in the Titan games, only to come this week and lost yes. What the hell," a fan wrote.

"Margeuax killed it, but was kelly hurt? It looked like she was significantly gassed after that log ramp. Thought she hurt her arm or something #titangames," a fan tweeted. Margaux tweeted after the competition, praising Valdez, "Kelly Valdez and I got after Mt Olympus. What a race - she’s a strong woman and incredible person! What. A. Competition," she wrote.

The two are close friends, as Valdez had confirmed to MEA WorldWide (MEAWW) in an exclusive interview. Last week, Valdez had defeated Jessie Graff, so there's no saying whether or not she will make a comeback in the finals. "It was really overwhelming. I was honestly very nervous [about] going again," adding that her only goal was to not "lose my very first challenge."

"And then after I won the first one, it was to try to win the second one and once I did that, I was just very excited. And then I had to go up against the celebrity Titan. So that was like a whole another set of nerves. [I was] definitely intimidated going up against Jesse, but I was pretty pumped about that," Valdez had said in her interview.

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