I like the US version in general, especially because it had a tournament format. It had two negatives: presentation, and the fact that they had "chip girls" rather than automated chip removal.
First time seeing this, and it's already one of my favorites. Good format, cool staging, questions have some difficulty. Britain has so many incredible game shows that I wish could come across the pond.
There was an American version as well, which, from my British perspective although the production quality wasn't as good, it did have some good tension.
8:21 and 8:24: Played when both players failed to find the correct answer. (37:50) 11:59: Played when both players are right. 22:06: Played when one player is correct. (44:33)
I like the theme music and background music while the contestants play. I grew up with gameshows. I would like to host this show if it is brought back in the uk
Paul was able to force Silvia into three big mistakes - didn't cover the answer properly when he played an accelerator, and she then didn't lock her answers in before playing her accelerators. She panicked - simple as.
Can someone explain the strategy at 11:26? Because I mean portobello and shiitake mushrooms are already SO well known that it'd be a waste to cover those...
Fact for you: Maurice (who shows up at the end, around 39 minutes in) fell down a six-foot hole in the set during the filming of the series, halting production while he got better, and while the set was redesigned to fill the hole.
To set the facts straight, my accident occurred due to a malfunction on the set, which was recorded in Maidstone. I returned to the show some 2/3 months later, after breaking my foot, still on crutches, which was recorded on a different set at Fountain Studios ,Wembley, where they record X Factor. I have to give thanks to all the production staff and especially Nick Hancock, who gave me great support during my recuperation
I'm guessing it was on those retracting walkways? I noticed in later episodes they stopped sliding them out... sliding the bridges away was a cool effect but I'm sure you had a different opinion. :( Always enjoy hearing from former contestants!
@@brandonmartin-moore5302 I was walking over the bridge onto the centre stage when it was withdrawn whilst I was on it. I fell 2 metres onto a concrete floor and broke my foot. My head went through the side of the stage which luckily was made from thin plywood and I only suffered severe bruising of my neck. I was informed that if the wood had been any thicker I would have probably broke my neck. Never received any formal apologies from anyone, or any explanation as to the cause of the accident, other than a hearsay remark that there had been an error in communication between the backstage crew.
When Sylvia panicked during the Accelerator from Paul she very nearly wasted one of her own in the process, not that it made much difference in the end.
On the US version of Duel if both players get a question wrong there's a sudden death shootout and they answer 1 more question with 4 chips and whoever gets the question right and uses the fewest number of chips they continue playing.
Sylvia let her nerves get to her. I have to say I arm chair quarter back from home but I also know I am not in front of the lights camera,audience etc because I would be a nervous wreck but most people don't take any of that into consideration before going on shows
The UK version is the only one to lack a tiebreaker rule as it was produced before the tiebreaker rule was introduced. The tiebreaker rule was not a part of the original format when it was first developed and the rule was added after the UK version finished production but before the format premiered in its native country of France (although the tiebreaker was experimented when the format began airing in the US where it was the first country to premiere even though it was the second to be produced). Prior to the introduction of the tiebreaker rule a double disqualification occurred if both contestants submitted without selecting the correct response. As for the power plays (technical term for accelerator), there are two rules: using a power play without submitting a response first results in the power play being taken away on the first violation and a disqualification for a second violation. The rules of the format also provide for a disqualification in the event a power play is attempted after a contestant runs out of power plays. Most international versions of the format used a green button to submit and a red button to activate a power play but this was not possible on the UK version because the power play activation devices were mechanical push downs. The accelerator sound was later used in a modified format when the show premiered in France in mid 208 and was used in all other international versions up until the format was discontinued in 2013.
Wow these people are dummies. They don't know what isn't a mushroom out of the choices? Or what Dinosaur has plates on its back? I mean where do they find these people? These questions aren't anything more than what you learn in elementary school. Sylvia doesn't belong on the show. She is too nervous. And her opponent isn't too much better either. How could he say a brontosaurus has spikes on its back? The second you see Stegosaurus you put it on that and push your button. This isn't rocket science. I think the show is great but they obviously aren't looking for smart people to be on this show.

Brilliant gameshow, wish they brought this back!!
Agreed but the US version did 1 thing right, if both players got it wrong they have a sudden shootout.
cutemimi25 And the US version had the better opening theme song as well.
Did they really?

@@eIucidate Did not know that. I'll have to check it out. I also like how tense the show can get.
Loved this show....
I NEED MORE DUEL!
8:21 and 8:24: Played when both players failed to find the correct answer. (37:50)
11:59: Played when both players are right.
22:06: Played when one player is correct. (44:33)
33:29 look at that finger dancing lmao
4:06 We Are In What We Call THE PURE DUEL BATTLE
I like the theme music and background music while the contestants play. I grew up with gameshows. I would like to host this show if it is brought back in the uk
Lee was my maths teacher lol dudes a lad. Asked him about this show he said he almost punched the host
He did!? How come?
Tell us more if you remember if he said any more

Sylvia had no clue what she was doing
Can someone explain the strategy at 11:26? Because I mean portobello and shiitake mushrooms are already SO well known that it'd be a waste to cover those...
Really no strategy, lol. She was probably nervous or legitimately didn't know the answer.
Plus, some say quiz games on TV are tougher to play when you’re actually there playing the game as opposed to playing along at home
Aha, the episode with Silvia. Have you got any more?
12:47 The panic starts
44:33 Oh Lee you have so many Chips at your disposal!!!
According to the emcee, the name of this game is actually "Jool."
Brits talk funny sometimes...
Not to mention he makes Keir sound like a cheap Korean car.
Underrated game show. Wish they kept making the US version.

Isn't RUclips a wonderful place?
I'm guessing it was on those retracting walkways? I noticed in later episodes they stopped sliding them out... sliding the bridges away was a cool effect but I'm sure you had a different opinion. :(

@@mauricedaniels3761 how exactly did the accident happen?

The signal is a bit dodgy
Man it wasn't Sylvia's day...
Sylvia wasted both of her Accelerators!!!
14:37 she's not the button pressed (

Breakaway was the show Nick Hancock was most notable for
No he's best known for They Think It's All Over

Not an interesting game
I hate this show. Terrible title and terrible host.
One of my favourites but not for everyone I suppose. Thanks for the feedback.
