Ashlee Register Wins $1,795,000 on "Duel"
Monday December 24, 2007
Ladies and gentlemen, we have our first Duel winner! Ashlee Register, "The Nurse," won almost two million dollars on Sunday night, becoming one of the highest-winning game show contestants ever.
Register beat out Robert Elswick, "The Used Car Salesman," in the final duel, earning the $1,720,000 jackpot that had been growing with each round. She banked $35,000 during her first duel, plus an additional $40,000 during her final duel with Elswick. That brings her total to a whopping $1,795,000.
It's too early to know if Duel will return next season, but with such a fast-paced and exciting finale, it was definitely a fun game to watch this week. Things picked up as the week went on, with contestants pushing their luck, bluffing as much as they could, and continuing with a wide variety of questions that were enjoyable to play along with at home.
Congratulations to Ashlee Register for becoming the first Duel champion!
