'The Titan Games' Season 2 Premiere: Joe Thomas, Chantae McMillan labeled 'absolute beasts' as they retain titles
'The Titan Games' Season 2 had a two-hour premiere, and gosh, wasn't it an intense one. Competitors fought it out with challenges like the Launch Pad, Nuts and Bolts, Herculean Pull and Lunar Impact. The winner had to take on the 'Titan', a professional and award-winning athlete at Mount Olympus. If they defeated them, they became the new Titan. The episode had spectacular performances and memorable moments, for instance when Chantae McMillan won against Alex Baillet, and then defeated renowned boxer Claressa Shields at Olympus. McMillan defended her 'Titan' title against her other opponent and dominated the show. A premiere, that fans aren't going to forget in a hurry!
Meanwhile, NFL player Joe Thomas didn't have it quite so easy, against the competitors. Matthew Chan was determined and fierce-willed to the last. However, Thomas beat him by a millisecond. Following this, Thomas went up against Steven Shelby, who also seemed quite promising at first. Unfortunately, Shelby had a soul-crushing defeat and wasn't able to win the Titan title.
Fans have been glued to their screens and cheering for their players. They're full of praise for Thomas and McMillan, calling them 'absolute beasts'. Here's what the fans got to say!
"Joe Thomas is a beast!" a fan wrote while another noted, "Joe Thomas is wreaking havoc on mount Olympus. Two came to challenge and two got sent away."
"There are sea monkeys and there are mountain gorillas. Joe Thomas is a mountain gorilla!" added a fan.
One fan wrote that Thomas is "mad slow" but "wins every time". "@nbctitangames Joe Thomas REMAINS A TITAN! He will be back next week along with our Female Titan Chantae. What a opening week for #TitanGames 2020! We will see you next week. GOOD NIGHT!" another excited fan wrote.
There's much gushing for McMillan too. "Chantae was a beast, she totally owned Mount Olympus not once but twice!!" a fan wrote. Fans really hope that McMillan makes it to the finals. "Chantae just prove twice why she will be hard to beat..I hope she makes it to the final as she has that determination and focus and of course dem dam strong ass fast legs," another wrote.
