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?

Yes.

I'm covering both answers with my remaining chips and giving you seven seconds MAX* to complete your response.


* Product placement a go-go.

Maybe they could do a Lohman and Barkley and get Mike Golic to co-host.  If only to say "....on ABC"
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

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.
