Master Minds

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??

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.

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 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!

My husband & I love the show especially Brooke. She is a great host also on the chase. However, when the masterminds are making faces and contemplating answers like they have no clue, it's a little bit much. It seems like it's a script and the ending always seems fixed to us. No one has ever won more than twice. The masterminds always at the end get the better "script". Fixed!
