It seems like only yesterday that Evanschemed his way into a $100,000 payday on The Duel 2. And now he's back to defend his title on The Ruins -- along with 13 other winners (and a buncha losers!) you may remember from Challenges past.
So who else is signed on for the ultimate RW/RR grudge match? That'd be everyone from old-school vets (like Syrus, Veronica and Tonya) to newbies (like Brianna and Chet) to all-time fan faves (like Brad, Derrick and Kenny).
After last week's reunion taping, we still had a few of our own nagging, unresolved issues with some of The Duel 2 cast members ... so we rounded 'em up and whisked them off to a very Brady room, where we poked and prodded. And danced to '70s music.
Our first order of business was with Landon. We knew he came onto the Challenge already committed to a girl back home, but we really needed to hear whether he'd considered a little harmless adultery with his hot, leggy partner, Brittini. We coulda sworn we saw sparks!
Well, our hunch proved correct. According to Lando, the opportunity for some hookage arose (tee hee, we're 12) at many points, but the strong-willed teammates decided to stick to a plan of staying professional (and sexually frustrated) so they could win the 100k. Fail.
Jenn didn't exactly hold back her feelings about Aneesa on the show. But behind closed doors, she's got an even stronger message for her old pal 'Neezy. Hear Jenn get out her "secret" aggression, watch Evan rip Nehemiah a new one and find out who MJ thinks was even faker than Shauvon's you-know-what's ...

Sure, Mark's won a challenge or two, and Evan's eked out a coupla victories here and there. But neither one of those dudes held a candle to Landon, who tore through every challenge ('cept the Spelling Bee) like a man on a mission. His goal? Walk outta here with $100,000 in his back pocket. And he would've done it, too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids -- Evan, Brad and Mark -- who threw him straight under the Greyhound (read: sent him into The Duel) at the first convenient opportunity.
So, what went wrong? Well, Lando's biggest mistake (besides going crazy berserko on Brad/forgetting all the rules) was thinking he could cruise through to the finals on skill alone. Did he deserve a shot at the money? Hellz yeah! But then, nobody ever said life -- or reality tv -- was fair.
Watching theReal 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.
T'was the night before Duel day, and all through the hiznit, MJ and Brad were scheming 'bout Duel Pole Dancing and shiznit. Fortch, each had a strategy, a how-to guide (with props!). Their objective? It's simple: fly straight to the top. So whose plan is better? We'll let you be the judge. But first, props to BOTH dudes (for not holding a grudge).
Throughout The Duel 2, everyone's made special note of Landon's seemingly superhuman strength and agility -- he and his partner Brittini have been unstoppable in every Challenge. But tonight we learned that nobody's perfect ... because Lando couldn't spell to save his life.
For the record, dude, it's E-X-T-R-E-M-E-L-Y.
In the video clip below, Paula, Ryan and Brooke weigh in on whether The Duel 2 cast members are as stupid as they appeared.
Take a seat. Deep breath. OK ... The rumor around town is that Brad has NOT given the engagement ring back to Tori. Ouch. Guess these Challenges really do take a toll on people's relationships! Still, some of The Duel 2 alumni in the vid below are betting on a happily ever after for the cutest RW/RR Challenge couplein history ...
Does Tori REALLY give Brad the ring back?? We're not sure, but we've been haunted by the thought ever since we first saw the explosive new trailer. And this week, we'll finally get to see whether everyone's favorite Duel 2 couple can get their relationship (and, um, impending marriage) back on track. Meanwhile, Diem's fear of heights rears its ugly head (again), Tori's out on a ledge, dry-heaving, and Brittini's smiling like she's already got this one in the bag. And from the looks of her competition, she might just be right ...

Everybody loves a makeover. And since Tyra's not springing for the Top Model treatment, Big Easy, Derrick and the gang are letting Kim and Tori prettify them with pore-minimizing facials (and a couple of well-placed eyebrow tweezes). Watch as Eric pays the price of looking beautiful while Landon and Brad make the most of their new chalk-white physique.
When a little argument about game strategy escalated into a full-blown fight, Brad and his pale-faced fiancee, Tori, went from lovey-dovey to barely speaking. And while the ep ended on a positive note (with the soon-to-be weds exchanging "I love you"s) that worried look on Brad's face (plus those scandy rumors of a possible ring takeback!) has us thinking the worst is still to come.
Think Brad and Tori can weather the storm and keep their relationship on track? Or will the chance to win big bucks come at the cost of their engagement? Take our poll and let us know whether love will keep them together -- or tear them apart.
