The Real World/Road Rules Duel 2 Opening Credits Must Be Seen 2 Be Believed

thumbnail icon: The Real World/Road Rules Duel 2 Opening Credits Must Be Seen 2 Be Believed

The beloved Real World/Road Rules challenge series has entered a new chapter with Duel 2. (I believe the challenge is who can just barely not die from alcohol poisoning after passing out naked in someone else's bunkbed.) In the first 15 minutes of the first episode two of the castmembers got kicked off for having a straight up fist fight, and that's before the challenges even began! This show is retarded!

Not that you couldn't tell that something was seriously wrong from the opening credits. Have you guys seen these things? Holy shit. Normally, I don't HIGHLY RECOMMEND that anyone pay close attention to the opening credits of a spin-off reality show featuring extroverted half-literate Goldschlager garbage monsters, but this is unlike anything you have ever witnessed. MUST BE SEEN 2 BE BELIEVED.

Unbelievable. How do you say "are you fucking kidding me?" in Maori? The entire nation of New Zealand just committed honor suicide.

The girl from Whale Rider is completely unimpressed:

MTV is a fucking idiot. (Thanks for the tip, Eliza.)

I seriously almost sent a tip about this opening specifically. Amazing. So tribal.

I would like to see the All Blacks run in and tackle them all to the ground for even trying to do the haka.

I don't even know what to say. This totally justifies my decision to cancel my cable... in fact, I think these opening credits are justification for canceling TV entirely.

CT is a piece of shit. I'm in full support having him put down. His unlikeability as an unapologetic raging dickhead exceeds my qualms about the death penalty. I honestly thought he might kill Adam in the first episode.

I think it's great that MTV is giving the series a global spin, introducing the audience to new countries and cultures. It's like The Amazing Race with VD!

Giving the fact that they make their livings competing on reality shows should we really be surprised. It takes special kind of people to be so worthless as human beings and we've just seen quite a few.

A great example of everything that opening credits should be. This is a show about asshats humiliating themselves, their families and everyone who knows them, and us as a society. We respond to their wretched, pitiful squeals of "Lookit me! Lookie what I can do!" by watching and paying them to keep doing it. It's all kind of sad and icky and desperate, and if anyone involved had the self-awareness of a sea-monkey they would just crumble with shame. All of this is expressed quite succinctly in these opening credits. Nice job.

I wouldn't call CT a garbage monster. He might challenge you to a duel. Or beat the crap out of you in a roid rage. Whichever comes first.

Once VH-1 has a show starring the men of 'I Love Money' vs. the men of 'Tool Academy' in a game of double dutch rudder is when my reality-verse dreams go to the next level.

OH, please oh please will this be a precursor for Duel 2 recaps by Gabe. All I could think about when I watched it is how much time, effort, and rehearsals they must have taken to film that. :( Also, CT is a complete poster boy for why you should not take steroids.
