Duels[]
In this format, if a bombshell were to attempt to try and steal an islander to couple up with, they would first have to take part in a duel against their choice's then current partner and if they were to win their duel, they'd be able to couple up with them. However if the target's then-current partner won, they'd get to stay with them.
In a duel, the combatant who managed to score the most wins would be declared the overall winner of the duel.
