Master Minds

I'm perplexed by the ability of the Master Minds to "just happen" to have an extra trivia remark after some answers. Is it merely a coincidence that they know extra info about these particular questions and can just toss it out there? It sounds very scripted to me, which would indicate prior coaching about these answers. ??? Otherwise, I love this show!

This is my favorite by far. It misses a 10 for only one reason. The Masters continuous comments. First at the start the arrogant comments. And the long explanations of the correct answer. Some are brief and enlightening. Ken does a good job at that.

Watching the show, in the final face off. The question posed to Muffy was - Since 1949 Canada has how many provinces? I noticed Muffy counting on her fingers at the point Brooke has only asked"Since 1949". How could Muffy start counting on her fingers at this point??

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.

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.
