I liked the mission. There's nothing else like it, nor will there be most likely. It was the fire-making challenge in Survivor but 20 times bigger with the addition of having to swim across a lake to keep the materials dry. I think it was placed correctly. Doesn't deserve much higher, but still a solid mission, especially compared to the trash that is most of this era.

#13 Chill Out (Gauntlet 3) Total of 31 points, average of 5.16 points, average placement 12, highest points 15 (2nd place), lowest points 1 (16th place) One of the most under appreciated and underrated missions of all time (due to the simple fact that a few people wanted to cut it before it reached the top 15). I really feel if two balanced teams who weren't throwing missions (Inferno 2 Good Guys and Bad Asses or Gauntlet 2 Vets and Rookies for example) were to compete in this mission, it would've gone down as one of the best missions ever, all eras included. Instead we got one team who was trying to win the mission, while half the other team's purpose was to throw it to get rid of one of the weaker females on their team. However, I feel like it was still pretty memorable in terms of what happened and because it was such an awesome concept, I think it deserves a top placing to say the least. Seeing the cast members react to how cold the tub of ice was when they entered the water was hilarious, especially Evan. CT getting out before even entering the tub of ice because he didn't want to get his new hairstyle wet has to be one of the most unbelievable reasons to secretly throw a mission. Kenny coming out of the cold temperature room and disqualifying himself telling the camera man that the name of the [mission] was "Get the hell out of there as quick as possible" was classic Kenny commentary. My favorite moment of the mission, though, as is probably everybody elses is Danny Jamieson trying to take on six Rookie players all by himself. Here's why: Danny had no chance in hell in winning, so he tried to cut a deal with the other team telling them if he disqualifies himself, that they would save him from the last male Gauntlet. Rookies didn't agree to it, so Danny being the delusional person he is tells them "I'll stay here all f*cking day then". The guy actually thought he would outlast all six of the Rookie players remaining by himself LOLOL. Moments later, Danny decides to quit because his body can no longer resist all of the freezing cold. When he comes out the freezer room, he instantly falls down to the floor and shakes repeatedly, receiving medical attention lmao. All this is happening while the other Vet males are conspiring of why Danny decided to not throw the mission and Frank ends up telling them that Danny tried to cut a deal to keep himself same from the last elimination. Chill Out pretty much summed up Danny's career on the challenge from a competitive and strategic standpoint, and how he was always trying to prove himself, when there wasn't much to prove.

Flying Leap is the original, better version of Meet Me Halfway in Bloodlines as it was individual, and while it was simply jumping it helped boost the notion of what the Duel represent of being individual along with having good moments such as Casey crying scared because of heights and water and not competing especially after Beth fell along with Svetlana winning after finding a flag afterwards.

#11 Luging my Mind
Total of 46 points, average of 7.66 points, average placement 10, highest points 12 (5th place), lowest points 2 (15th place) Duel 2's Luging my Mind mission was certainly an interesting mission. First the oversized bobbleheads they were wearing made the mission a bit more difficult then it would of been straight up. The mission continued Duel 2's confusion of supposedly being every one for themselves and a partner challenge, but this mission did highlight some running ability both genders had. It was run up to top and luge to the bottom, tag your partner, repeat then solve a puzzle (which did seem a more difficult puzzle). The big matchup in this mission would turn out to be Landon/Brittini vs Evan/Diem as they were 1&2 the whole way with Landon edging out Evan, but Diem beating Brittini to give them a 12 second lead into the puzzle, but Landon and Brittini somewhat surprisingly won (because Evan and Diem have both been proven good at puzzle like Evan maybe top 10 and Diem top 5 even if Landon was the golden child of the challenge) as Katie and Eric come to the puzzle, the only team not to reach it. Overall I liked Luging my Mind a lot, it had the silliness of the bobbleheads, the use of a luge while not overly highlighted was still present, clear competitiveness as although Landon/Brittini and Evan/Diem were clearly the 2 leaders it seemed possible for a random team to come out of nowhere to win a la Cory/Mitch on Bloodlines.
