Its Every Man And Woman For Themselves As MTVs The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Duel Moves To A Brand New Night Thursday, October 12th At 10:00pm (ET/PT)

Santa Monica, CA October 4, 2006 MTV: Music Television announced today the launch of the new season of The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Duel on a new night Thursday, October 12th at 10:00PM (ET/PT). The new season is set on the majestic beaches of Buzios, Brazil and promises to keep faithful followers on their toes. Along with bringing back some of the most notorious cast members, a brand new game has been designed that is sure to generate plenty of drama, and to guarantee the scheming, backstabbing and all out war that everyone has come to expect from the challenges. This season, 20 cast members will live together in an estate overlooking the ocean and compete in 16 different challenges with the ultimate winners taking home a purse of $300,000. For the first time ever, there will be no teams.

Host and pro BMX dirt jumper TJ Lavin returns to guide the cast members through some of the most grueling challenges ever in this no holds barred battle to the finish. In past challenges, cast members have voted to get someone out of the game. This time, its about who they will keep in the game. Heres how it works

The individual winner of each challenge will be safe from elimination, but before leaving the challenge site, the winner will immediately select one member of the opposite sex to join them in the Safety Zone. It is now up to the cast member that was just chosen to pick the next person of the opposite sex to be safe. This will continue until there is only one person left. The last person will automatically be one of the two people doomed to battle for survival in The Duel but there is a catch, this individual will have the immediate opportunity to pick anyone of the same gender (except the winner of the challenge) to be his or her opponent in the Duel. Once the pair is determined the two competitors fight it out and the winner will stay in the game and the loser will be banished from the game and sent home immediately.

Leading up to one of the most down and dirty seasons of the Challenge yet, MTV will offer a variety of additional content surrounding The Duel launch. Starting on 9/29 MTV.com will launch Beth's Most Trouble-Makery Moments, a look back at the notorious cast members most menacing moments. Then on 10/5 watch a sneak peek of the premiere episode of The Duel, plus the series trailer. On 10/12 after watching an episode of The Duel, viewers can go to MTV.com and continue to feed their Challenge addiction with Duel: The After Show hosted by Blair Herter, former Road Rules (The Quest) personality, as he gets his Duel cast member guests to spill the dirt without holding anything back. Also returning to The After Show is the The S#!& You Didnt See, a plethora of hilarious moments and outtakes that didnt make the episodes but should have. Plus, fans will be able to watch all of their favorite episodes on-demand and online any time they want. MTV.com is the destination for the tune in information, weekly photo updates, meet the cast and much more.

The move to Thursday is surprising to me. It's going to be hard to remember to watch then.

This is the first season I'm going to be able to watch the after show Overdrive. So exciting.

I'll be tuning in. I hate that it's on Thursday nights though. It's my busiest TV night...............I have so many shows I watch on that day.

Interesting that there are no teams this challenge. I like that though.

jennarose · 10-08-2006, 04:12 PM

Yeah, Thursdays are pretty busy. Mondays were definitely better.

Did you watch the trailer? It looks crazy, like always.

***BLONDIE*** · 10-09-2006, 01:45 AM

Woo-Hoo - CT, is back - Yummo!, but WTF? Svetlana on the challenge, OMG that's too hilarious. My money is on, that the first person she will piss off is Annesa, or Tina. I also can't believe Casey is returning, she might have came back from exile, but she sucked in the challenges.

***Enigma*** · 10-09-2006, 12:17 PM

jenna - It does look crazy. I will be hooked as usual.

Blondie - I agree.

jennarose · 10-09-2006, 05:36 PM

I didn't even notice that Svetlana is on it. I can't see her being good at this kind of thing. Maybe she'll bond with Casey.

Kon-Artist · 10-13-2006, 05:27 PM

CT and Evan!..

wheres coral!?

***BLONDIE*** · 10-14-2006, 12:29 AM

Well, I have to start off by commenting on Tina's so called punch. It looked as if she popped her forehead and looked weak. The first thing my boyfriend said was what a waste. He figured she was going to punch her jaw or something, but her forehead.

Also, if Tina get's to stay and Steven had to quit immidiately after slapping Shane, then that is just wrong.

Diem, I am glad she decided to show herself without her wig. I don't know if I could be strong enough to do that. I am glad she won too, she worked her ass off for that win.

NO, Johnny Bananas is gone. WTF, was Tyler thinking? I know he felt Johnyy was the safest way to go, but still, that was a low blow.

CT and Diem, figured that was coming, from the way he talked about her, but he's cute and she is too, so I'm not hating that much.

Evan, still love him.

MethodicWays · 10-14-2006, 12:59 PM

So the drama over Diem's hair .... so not the drama. I mean she looked nice. I really don't want Diem and CT though. I like CT too much.

I LOVED Brad calling Tina and Beth chickens. And the punch was lame. She had on glasses, Tina should have aimed for her chin.

I'm really excited about the new season though. It looks great.

ETA: The only thing I'm upset about is no Coral and no Theo.

foxybabygirl · 10-14-2006, 02:15 PM

Well Ill start off saying Im glad that Coral isnt back and this is coming from someone who likes her

I just want to see a challenge where she isnt involved. Next one hey go for it and bring her back.

I think Svetlana will be ok at the challenges. Not the best or worst, but average. I think that Tyler is going to play dirty. Sending in John was crazy. I dont care if it was safe, you dont send in someone you later say is like your brother. If he was crying about it why send him in in the first place? Hmm well I know, lets just say his little speech to Beth about Tina applies to him too.

Diem impresses me with every challenge. A lot of people are going to say that she gets a lot of love b/c she had cancer, but she should. No one really knows what thats like to go through chemo and I hope that this time she wins.

MethodicWays · 10-14-2006, 05:04 PM

i think Tyler made a good move that wasn't mean. He knew they ere gunning for both him and John and if he didn't leave then, John was still going to be on the chopping block next challenge.

Lonely Smile · 10-14-2006, 07:05 PM

Tina's punch was LAME. She talks like she is some bad ass and then that's the best she can do? Her credibility is shot now. I think that it's interesting that it looks as though Tina stays, regardless of the fact that she hit another cast member.

So glad that I have CT and Kenny to drool over. Those two boys are HOT!

BrucasForever<3 · 10-14-2006, 09:48 PM

Tina's punch DIDNT even hit Beth.

I think she should go home, but Beth should be punish as well. JMO!

Derrick, Evan, Kenny..yummy..

Where's Theo!

**bad reputation** · 10-14-2006, 10:06 PM

i love this show.

i freaking love wes.

Beth was egging her on, too. I'll be curious to see how Tina gets out of being sent home.
