Show format
At the beginning of each episode, the cast is given a challenge. 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.
Each challenge has a female winner and a male winner. Unlike the first Duel , the last male and female cast member that are not chosen will go into the Duel. Both of the winners will have to decide on one person to "save" from that night's Duel.
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 are two people remaining: one male and one female; these remaining people are assigned to compete in the Duel that evening.
The male and female "voted" into the Duel then select a competitor of their respective gender to go against them that night, and randomly select from one of five cards held by the host to determine the Duel in which the players will compete.
Also unlike the first season of the Duel , there is a period of deliberation between the end of the challenge and the selection of the contestants for the elimination game.
The losers of the Duel are eliminated from the game and sent home.
At the end of the season, there will be six people left, three males and three females. For each gender, there will be a first place finisher, a second place and third place finisher. First place will win $100,000, second will win $35,000 and third will win $15,000.

Reunion Show
First aired June 17, 2009
The reunion was hosted by Maria Menounos and was taped at the MTV Studios on June 9, 2009. Cast members that attended were Landon, Evan, Rachel, Brittini, Aneesa, Kim, Dunbar, Brad, Tori, Diem, Mark, Jenn & Paula. The many relationships/hookups, fights & missions were discussed. First topic that was discussed was how Rachel beat all of the guys in the final mission. Mark stated that the reason why she had beat every one of the guys because the guys had to wait on the girls at the checkpoint during the middle of the mission. Brad felt like Rachel should have helped him dig more like how Brittini helped Evan, even though Rachel says she did. Maria then asked Evan & Rachel what they did with their money. Rachel said "she is having a good time with it." and Evan says "He is putting it all away and saving it for the right girl." Then, the C.T./Adam fight was shown. Mark stated that besides the Diem situation being the source of the fight, past challenge history and them together on their season sparked more tension between the two. Jenn states that the fight was a whole lot worse when you were actually there, and Rachel says that C.T. shouldn't be allowed on anymore of these challenges. The love triangle is discussed. Jenn said she had already known about Rachel & Aneesa's history and that Rachel avoided talking about it to either one of them, because she didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But, Aneesa felt like her feelings didn't matter and they were "swept under a rug." Kim then discussed that she & Dunbar had tried something after New Zealand but didn't work out. Evan then felt like Paula shook up the voting order when she voted for Dunbar instead of MJ, even though Paula denie
