So, DS and I watched the show last night. He was excited to see it again and was bouncing all around the room. When he saw the kids come to the podium and use a pencil, he ran to get his. He was trying to solve the math problems as quickly as possible, but of course they edit for time and so that was a downer.
As we were watching, it became apparent to me that drama was to become center stage. By the end of the show, I was wondering if this is another so-called, "reality show". The hysterics of one of the contestants just seemed contrived to me.
Did anyone who saw the show think it seemed staged to play up drama, maybe even to the point of planting a supposed contestant?
