Post by: abba on April 23, 2008, 10:37:21 PM

With all the bad ratings in the last few weeks,will ABC pull the plug on Duel soon,or will they give it some more time?

Maybe they could do a Lohman and Barkley and get Mike Golic to co-host.  If only to say "....on ABC"

According to www.thefutoncritic.com the last 5 episodes will air in late-June and July. Were these episodes taped already,and if yes will they still air?

How about a little love for this quizzer? The pace was quicker on Friday's extravaganza, the trash talking was kept to a minimum and a couple of the questions were memorable (the ones about tornadoes and Commodore 64).

[/quote]I don't have much but scorn for this game show. Duel 1.0 was by no means perfect, but it was a solid game. Now, they chucked Duel Math and the second press, an absurd money rubric that encourages players to make a quick strike and get the hell out, and a top prize that isn't made clear whether it's a bonus or an augmentation. And then there's the whole random contestant selection thing, where you may as well use the Fickle Finger of Fate to pick an opponent.
