Before even taping episodes, ABC has announced the debut date of their new trivia/bluffing/strategy game Duel.  The show will be seen as a week long event, much like ABC originally did Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, from December 17th through the 23rd at 8PM ET.  There is no word of a host yet.  If you want to get a brief idea of some game play, just imagine trivia mixed in with the tense betting of poker.  Sources are telling us it’s a very interesting and fantastic game as done in run-throughs, but it might be difficult to get the internal thinking of players, much like in poker.

Also, one of our personal favorite hosts, Mark Walberg, and his new vehicle The Moment of Truth will be seen on January 23rd at 9PM ET.  We are still waiting on an air date for everything else, though.  The only shows that have completely taped by this point are Do You Trust Me? for CBS, Wanna Bet? for ABC, and 1 VS 100 for NBC which is shocking to find still missing from the schedule after the failure of shows like Phenomenon.  Unless something freakish happens I wouldn’t expect to see the eight remaining episodes of the popular quizzer until sometime in 2008.
