Does that mean the next challenge is going to be the duel 2? Or is that just going to be the format of a brand new challenge??

You stole my response!
I am currently not entertaining this theory, although if there is evidence I'd love to see it.

I know, I have been waiting patiently for my chance to use it since I just learned it thanks to you guys

OK, here is what the instruction books says: "Some analysis required"

"Definitely duel format" -- Presumably this means "The Duel II." Immediate evidence to the contrary is that BMP does not convey the challenge format to the cast, therefore the leak must be from crew or someone associated with handful of MTV executives who approved the concept or those at BMP who have been working on it. There are no cases in recent memory where any of these people leak such info. Further, since we know with certainty that Beth is not on the challenge, having the next challenge as "The Duel II" would mean that BMP/MTV were going back on their word to Beth regarding her certain participation in any future challenge with that title. It would be a tremendous breach for that to happen. At the end of the day, I've always found the execs at BMP to be honorable. Thus the following syllogism applies, assuming BMP did not lie regarding the first factual posit:

- Beth will be cast on any challenge called "The Duel II'
- Beth is not in the cast on the next challenge
- The next challenge is not "The Duel II"

"Grapevine informed me" -- The implication here is the The Godfather's source is not first-hand, but rather something passed from one to another to at least a third party. While I might confide in a good friend some information that came my way from one source, I would never post anything without the confidence of at least two sources unless the only source was the actual creator of the information in the first instance.

"confirmed is Eve" -- This is something one named potential cast member has said to several people; however, I'm not aware of any basis in fact for the statement. It's not surprising that the idea has finally taken on a life of its own.

Could it be possible that it will be a Duel format but not called "The Duel II" perhaps they will try to be sneaky and name it something totally different, or even the something like "The Duel 2.0" or even "The Duel 33 1/3" (LOL) and get away with it on a technicallity? (I am not sure how loyal to Beth BMP/MTV would actually be since I don't have an inside scoop)

so the final four cast members haven't been named yet?

Thank you V1man for the scientific response. I agree with your well laid out conclusions.

There is nothing that points to 4 more cast members. There might be more, there might not. There might be a couple that are swapped off the list we have and replaced with others.

"Sneaky" is not a wise business practice for several very important reasons which, of course, I'm not able to enumerate. Should it ever be necesessary that I discuss it further, you'll just have to read the court transcript at that time.

Im completely fine with the cast. Now some other people can shine.

Got it
