Um, so ... yeah ... what was up with that opening of The Duel 2? Like, it was amazing and all, but also kinda/sorta/maybe a little disturbing, no?

Was the cast speaking in tongues? Was someone forcing them to get all freaky on the dance floor/tribal ground like that? Why were their faces contorted as if if they were being force fed dog food?

Get answers to all your burning questions below in 'The Making of the Main Title' video!

Did Shauvon and CT's lusty roof romp really happen? Judging by the way those two were giggling (not to mention zipping up their pants), we're gonna go with hellz-to-the-yeah. And in true RW/RR Challenge tradition, they weren't the only ones losing their clothes/inhibitions in Episode One.

In addition to Brooke, Davis and Ryan's menage a hot tub, we've got even money that says Paula (a.k.a. Poke'erhontas) got Geronimowed by the end of the night, possibly by her old pal Dunbar. And if we can believe what we see in the trailers, it's only a matter of time before Jenn and Rachel get their freak (back) on.

So who does that leave? Well, there's Robin and Mark, who used to date about a million years ago (seriously, dude's like 65), Diem who's as single as they come (and rebounding from the still-crazy CT) and Evan, who's hoping this'll be the year he (finally!) breaks that strikeout streak.

Five minutes after everybody moved into The Duel 2 crib, CT went after Adam like The Terminator on uppers, leaving the poor little guy with an icepack over his eye -- and a plane ticket home. And while everyone knows the RW/RR rules (throw a punch, and you're as good as gone) we're not sure Adam deserved the same punishment as the 240-pound meathead who chased him around the parking lot and yelled "I WILL SMASH HIS HEAD AND EAT IT!"

True, dude got in a couple of good shots himself (and even thought about going back for Round Two), but given the circumstances (i.e. the fact that Adam stands at about 4'3 and came thisclose to getting his neck snapped), we're thinking probation -- or cleaning the communal hot tub -- might've been a more fitting punishment.

+ Think Adam deserved to get sent home along with 'roid ragey CT? Or should he have gotten another chance to stay in the game? Take our poll and let us know whether Adam's punishment fit the crime!

Watching the Real World/Road Rules Challenges is like eating potato chips — once you start, you can’t stop. And since Wednesdays (at 10pm) always seem so far away, we’ll be sifting through the Challenge Dailies every weekday afternoon to give you your daily dose of The Duel 2. You’re welcome.

At over six feet, weighing in at approximately 230 pounds, CT's one of the best players in the game. But when he's been boozing, all bets are off -- and this drunken lug has a history of hitting the bottle and looking for an excuse to throw the first punch.

'Member when dude gave Davis a black eye the size of a softball -- and got himself tossed outta Inferno 3? Well, unless they changed the rules to allow for beating your former RW: Paris castmate into a bloody pulp, we're thinking CT might be headed for another early exit ...

Aside from forever being known by the public as an alcoholic, self-centered slut, being a Real World/Road Rules alumnus isn't such a tough gig. Take, for instance, the 26 cast members who signed up to compete in The Duel 2. Not only were they handed an all-expenses paid trip to New Zealand, they were also given the chance to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars simply for playing some fun games, drinking limitless booze and having naked trysts in the pool. So what's the catch? Uh, nothing. That's really how it all goes down.

Check out the trailer for the new season of MTV's Real World/Road Rules Challenge and see which idiots (there are always a few!) end up taking their sweet setup for granted:

Everyone knows alliances are the most important aspect of the RW/RR Challenges (followed closely by the hookups and, of course, the around-the-clock inebriation). Each season, we've watched as the vets surveyed the competition and went in for the kill, picking off the easiest marks and eliminating them one by one.

So who's gonna be on the chopping block this time around? Read on to find out which girls -- and guy! -- we think will be The Duel 2's weakest links.

Brittini: Not only is Brit a newbie to the challenges, but she doesn't even have the benefit of coming in with a full RW season under her belt. A (very) last-minute addition to the RW: Hollywood crew, Brittini's in for a major uphill battle. Unless girl can make friends really, really fast (or win herself immunity), getting rid of her should like shooting fish in a barrel.
