'The Titan Games' Season 2 Episode 9: Will Sutton should've quit Mt Olympus after Ryan's injury, say upset fans
The amount of will and sheer determination in 'The Titan Games' is astounding. The motto for all the participants: You fall, so pick yourself up. Andrew Hanus and Ryan Steenberg had several tough battles before taking on 'country-strong' Will Sutton at Mount Olympus.
Andrew took the lead at 'Chain Linked' as Ryan had a fall that led to a setback. However, Ryan made a spectacular comeback in the next challenge, leading to a tie. Ryan defeated Andrew at 'Herculean' Pull in a powerful display of strength and will, leading to his face-off against Will Sutton at Mount Olympus. Ryan got an injury at the beginning of Mt Olympus, and couldn't continue the challenge after that.
"I hope Ryan's okay. I'd hate for him to miss the Regional Finals like that.#TitanGames," tweeted a fan. While many praised Will, others noted that he needn't have gone forward as it was barely a competition. "Will should have just stopped. He already won when the other dude messed up his arm. No need to be a show off," one tweeted.
Nevertheless, he still got praise. "Can we talk about how Will never gave up despite knowing he won Mount Olympus," tweeted a fan. "The injury gods have been relentless on this season of #TitanGames," wrote a fan. "WILL F***ING SUTTON," a fan tweeted. "Will moves like someone possess," another fan wrote.
"'Tis schoolteacher & farmer Will Sutton v Ryan Stenburg for Mount Olympus glory. For the latter, the night is over with a left bicep tear & the former makes this affar a cakewalk & stay a Titan for at least another week. #TitanGames #NBCTitanGames @nbctitangames," one summarised. "Way to finish, strong," a fan tweeted.
In an exclusive interview with MEA WorldWide, Will revealed what he learnt from the show. Asked about his learning experience from the show, he said, "I think the thing I take away the most is learning from other people and how other people have strengths and weaknesses. Just like I have strengths and weaknesses and just learning from them how to capitalize, how to better your weaknesses and capitalize on your strengths. Also, never settle. The sky's the limit. You know, you put yourself out there and anything's possible. But anything is possible when you put time in it, put effort in it, and have a dream and go after that dream. I think that's the biggest thing I've taken from that is just, you know, keep on going after your dreams."
Meanwhile, Haley Johnson remained the reigning Titan, as Dasha Kuret seemed to have gotten exhausted halfway through. 'The Titan Games' airs on NBC on Mondays at 8 pm.
