- I got several requests for some "Duel" episodes. I only have a handful of episodes available due to tape damage and parts of the show is not viewable. Here is a an episode of "Duel" (USA). Mike Greenburg from ESPN hosts.
Love this show to this day. Thank you!!
There were a plethora of rule changes that happened in the very short history of the format, which ran for only six to seven years before it was discontinued due to its confusing rules.
The original rules of the format, which was created in France, did not provide for a tiebreaker question in case no one answered a question correctly, instead eliminating both contestants on the spot. The tiebreaker was added to the format’s rules before the show premiered in the United States (the first country to premiere), but this tiebreaker was not used in the British version which was the first to enter production. The tiebreaker (known as the shootout) resulted in each contestant getting four chips with no seven-second power play (known as a press in the United States, and as an accelerator in other versions) allowed, and the only valid way to win on a tiebreaker was to have the correct answer while also having the fewest wrong answers (if both contestants selected the same number of answers or if both did not select the correct answer, it would be an invalid result and the tiebreaker would therefore have to be repeated until a winner could be determined). Originally a tiebreaker was only required if both contestants did not select a correct answer; the rules were later adjusted in some international versions to require a tiebreaker if there was no winner after a prerequisite amount of questions.
Time limits on questions were introduced after the show ended its run in the United States, with most versions still in production at the time adopting a time limit of 20 or 30 seconds. Later on, the amount of choices per question was reduced from four options to three while the power play was reduced to five seconds, and this was used in the show’s native country of France (where the show itself lasted the longest) from early 2013 until the format ended production later that year.
If the format was to ever be revived, it would require major changes to ensure a faster pace of play, including a maximum time limit of 30 seconds on questions, a limit on the amount of questions per game, and a general reworking of the show so that games do not straddle between episodes.
Yay! Loved this show -- hope to see more uploads in the future.
It's time to D-D-D-D-DUEL!
Air date: December 18, 2007...
Also, I do hope you upload episodes; only can find two episodes on RUclips.
We have two contestants of note to be seen:
The first one, Monica Durazo, would appear on the 2018 revival of the game show Deal or No Deal (which aired on CNBC) as a contestant in mid 2019.
The second contestant mentioned, Karla Jackson, previously appeared on an episode of the CBS game show Winning Lines in early 2000. She would finish in second place in her episode thanks to one of her opponents incorrectly answering a question about the amount of states in the United States in 1958 (the correct answer was her assigned number which was 48). When it came down to the final question another opponent would correctly guess her number as the amount of minutes in regulation for an NBA game. Her third of three appearances on a game show in a nine year span would come on a first season episode of the half hour syndicated version of Deal or No Deal which aired in late 2008.
Greeny makes a great game show host.
He really does!
If they bring this show back, I hope they keep the same rules for season 2 and increase the top prize to $1,000,000.
I think the original format starting in January-November and tournament format starting in December same year with 24 great contestants.
@@UtNguyen-zm3kgThe format will not work in the present day. As I said the only way it could be brought back is with the rule changes I mentioned.
And also it would be a 13 episode tournament with 30 players that would be released on a streaming service like Netflix (4 45-50 minute episodes per week on the first 3 weeks and one final 70 minute episode in week 4).
@@SigmaRho2922 hmmmm, that is good choice, because show in television is so hard to reboot and broadcast long progress.
ABC needs to revive Duel I Loved This Show!
Yeah, i total argee with you, that is interesting show!
@@UtNguyen-zm3kgI used to watch the second season every Friday night on ABC, I never watched the first season because I didn't know about the show at that time but I wish I did since I loved it
Massively underrated show; ABC didn’t give it a fair chance. But then again, the Writer’s Strike didn’t help.
Agreed
@@robertvalli2238This was a last minute replacement for National Bingo Night, whose planned second season was cancelled while casting was underway due to that show’s high production costs. What also happened was the format was greatly ruined by the 2008 financial crisis. Had it began development after the crisis ended it would have succeeded.
