[edit] Challenge

At the beginning of each episode, the cast is given a challenge, and it is announced whether male or female cast members will compete in the Duel that evening. The challenges can involve either members of the same gender competing against each other, or groups of both men and women competing against each other.

[edit] Selection process

Each challenge has a female winner and a male winner. The winner of the gender not entering the Duel is given a prize, while the winner of the gender going into the Duel is safe from the possibility of having to enter the Duel him/herself.

The "safe" (or "immune") contestant begins a voting process by voting for a member of the opposite gender, who then selects a member of the original gender. This process continues until there is one person remaining of the selected Duel gender of the day; this remaining person is assigned to compete in the Duel that evening.

The person "voted" into the Duel then selects a competitor of the same gender to go against him/her that night, and randomly selects from one of four cards held by the host to determine the Duel in which the two players will compete.

Note that this selection process occurs immediately after the challenge, unlike in other Challenges, where there is a period of deliberation between the end of the challenge and the selection of the contestants for the elimination game.

The loser of the Duel is eliminated from the game and is sent home.

[edit] Duel games

• I Can: Players bet on how many specific items they can lift in a cart, such as watermelons, logs, or coffee bags.
  • Played Four Times: Tyler vs. John, Eric vs. Nehemiah, Aneesa vs. Diem, Svetlana vs. Aneesa.

• Ascender: Players must climb a rope, pull another rope to release a basket containing puzzle pieces, and climb back down the rope to assemble a tiling puzzle similar to a tangram
  • Played Four Times: Derrick vs. Tyler, Nehemiah vs. Kenny, Aneesa vs. Robin, CT vs. Evan.

• Pole Wrestle: Players are placed at the center of a circle and are asked to place both hands on a wooden pole approximately two feet (0.6 meter) in length. The first contestant to wrestle the pole out of his or her opponent's hands wins the Duel.
  • Played Four Times: Aneesa vs. Paula, Robin vs. Casey, Wes vs. Derrick, Brad vs, Eric.

• Push Me: This Duel features a pole several yards long, fixed to the ground in the center. A flag is attached by a carabiner to the ground a few yards in front of the pole. Players stand on opposite ends of the pole on the side away from the flag. Each player pushes the pole toward the flag; since the pole is fixed in the center, the players are pushing against each other. They must unclip the flag from the ground (and not merely rip it off the carabiner holding it) to win.
  • Played Three Times: Svetlana vs. Beth, Svetlana vs. Kina, Brad vs. CT.
