'The Titan Games' Season 2: Kelly Valdez is new Titan, fans call her a beast after beating Jessie Graff
Tonight wasn't a lucky night for Dwayne Johnson's handpicked Titans. After defeating his brother, in a spectacular performance at 'Herculean Pull', Noah Palicia took on Victor Cruz on Mount Olympus. It was a breeze for Noah, as Cruz seemed to have given up halfway. Noah emerged as the Titan of the night, and it remains to be seen whether he can hold on to the title, or will he be dethroned by the other participants in the West Region Final.
Meanwhile, Kelly Valdez steamrolled stuntwoman Jessie Graff on Mount Olympus. The final challenge tests agility, strength, endurance and, as Dwayne Johnson says, heart. In the other episodes, the Titans have always put up a fight, but in the June 15 episode, the Titans were fumbling.
It was another nerve-wracking episode for 'The Titan Games', with fans questioning Dwayne Johnson's handpicked Titans. Nevertheless, there was cheer all around for the two new Titans.
"These Titans suck tonight," wrote a disappointed fan.
"I am shocked Jessie Graff was basically smeared on the floor. Titans is no joke," a fan tweeted.
"Beast Mode. Kelly Valdez," another wrote.
"Kelly Valdez is a freaking beast!!! She pulled 200 lbs like it was nothing! #TitanGames," a fan tweeted, referring to how Kelly pulled the ball and chain, effortlessly.
Meanwhile, Jessie Graff seemed to be confused at points and had even climbed into the wrong cage during the cage crawl. "Why is she in the wrong cage," a confused fan asked. "Jessie is quite an embarrassment," another tweeted.
Well, Jessie still has a chance to redeem herself for the Western Region Finals, along with Victor Cruz. In the previous episode, Matthew Chan won against NFL great Joe Thomas during the Central Region finals, while Dani Speegle defended her Titan title against Jame Seeman, who had just won against Chantae McMillan, a former Titan.
The competition is only going to get tougher as the show progresses and it remains to be seen who can be the Titan and walk away with the 100,000 pounds. The East Region is left, and are not going to be steamrolled in a hurry.
'The Titan Games' airs on Mondays at 8 pm on NBC.
