Master Minds

I can't believe how good she is. For several reasons. She rapid fire shoots the questions. I've seen the shows that must miss her because half the time to answer was taken by the question. Brooke deserves another Emmy!

Yes, the show offers high-quality, not-dumbed-down trivia in three rounds. Host Brooke Burns does a good job during the timed round of spitting out the questions rapid-fire (Leah Remini from "People Puzzler" should take some lessons from her) and mostly avoids telling contestants who soil themselves what a great job they did, a common malady among GSN hosts.

The final, head-to-head round really does feel shady, though. So often, it comes down to the final question, and nearly invariably, the Master Mind gets it right and the challenger gets it wrong. Over and over and over.

Oh, and the part at the beginning when one of the Master Minds trash-talks the contestants -- lose that. It's forced and it sucks.

The show is either fixed, or at least heavily scripted.

The little trivia bits, how would you have those ready to go if you didn't know the questions beforehand?

Also, the Master Minds never lose. It's boring.

I was watching one of the episodes today and the question had to do with a roller coaster at Cedar Point and what state it is in. Ken got the answer correct, Ohio. However, he went on to say that Cedar Point was in Dayton, OH. It is actually in Sandusky, about 140 miles away from Dayton.

I started watching to test my knowledge on the various subjects and did pretty good. I had to stop watching because I got tired of the arrogance of the "master minds". Also I grew tired of "master minds" need to explain almost every answer. Stop showing off.
