Television Travel: MTV's The Duel

Once again, it's Real World/Road Rules Challenge time, aka The Duel.

This season the cast and crew, which has grown on us like a fungus, heads to beautiful Búzios Brazil. Lucky stiffs, literally, we are starting to think these folks have the life. Show up to some exotic locale every six months, make a fool of yourself, call it "the magic of editing" on the reunion show, rinse, sometimes wash, repeat. C'mon, you are telling us you wouldn't sign up for this gig? It isn't as bad as being on the Bachelor or something, that's for sure.

In any event Búzios Brazil is located 105 miles northeast of Rio, and used to be home to pirates and slave traders. These days Búzios, along with the two dozen beautiful beaches there, are home to a constant churn of jet setting travelers. It isn't St. Tropez or anything, but a wealthy beach town nonetheless. A quick rundown of some of the beaches: Joao Ferndandes has numerous beachside bars, Brava beach is where the surf is at, and Olho de Boi attracts the nudies. Trust us.
