More on 'Clever v Stupid'

A little bit more to the post a couple of weeks ago...

Using games based on psychological research the show tests the teams' creativity, their emotional intelligence, their physical dexterity and practical skills.

The winner is decided in a dramatic final round, called The Ultimate Mind Game that uses state of the art equipment to test the contestants' brainpower and focus.

Among the games: the teams have to use just their emotional intelligence to impress a panel of strangers, be practical and unblock a sink, get creative and paint the abstract idea 'creativity' on a giant canvas and demonstrate physical control when they decorate a cake wearing goggles that turn the world upside down.

Chelsea White and Cara Brett (who is coincidentally another recent EliteTV signing) have seemingly been the most public about appearing on the show. I still have no idea who the other two models are.

Looks like they might win a couple of the early rounds but ultimately lose in the uh, 'The Ultimate Mind Game'. They wouldn't let the 'Stupid' team win in the very first episode would they!? That's scheduling madness! You wouldn't see that on Eggheads!

OT: The Guardian aren't impressed by the idea of the show.
