Duel Finale: wes beats Brad by his two minute lead, Jodi beats Svetlana after she falls behind

The Duel began with the cast preparing themselves mentally for the day. The cast is told to meet at 6:30am for their mission.

They are greeted by a helicopter ride to Rio de Janiero, where they fly around the infamous Christ Redeemer statue that opens up the credits. They then land to find their mission.

For the first part of the mission, they have to do a penalty kicks game to decide who wins the two-minute head start. Jodi (Extreme) beats Svetlana (Key West) 2-1, narrowly making her second goal on her last shot. Wes (Austin) beats Brad (San Diego) 2-1, clearly superior over Brad in his soccer skills.

They then start their mission. The first step is to run up a mountain trail to the puzzle awaiting them at the top. There are four huge puzzle blocks which they must transport to the puzzle-solving area. After they solve the puzzle or wait 30-minutes, whichever comes first, they run to another station in which they have to balance a teeter-totter with rocks and their own weight. Once they do that, they run down another trail to grab a flag to win $150,000.

They all meet up at the puzzle. Wes solves it first, only to have Brad solve it seconds later. Jodi solves the puzzle four minutes ahead of Svetlana. Brad narrowly trails Wes for the rest of the race, only to be beaten by a minute and a half, less than the lead Wes had. Jodi also comes victorious, able to finish the teeter-totter mission before Svetlana even gets to it.

There's a beautiful montage of the season, with Brad and Svetlana reflecting postively on their experiences. Wes and Jodi hang-glide to pick up their checks on the beach from TJ. And the Challenge is over.
