After watching two shows I'm ready to call it quits. While there is interesting science and unique thinking going on, I am tired of the angst, the backbiting and the deplorable "who do you think should be fired?" programming formulae. Eecch!! To me it totally ruins the show to the point I don't care about ANY of the contestants.
And as for leadership, I haven't heard where leadership is one of the criteria for failure, but it's what caused the first person to be sacked. And what's with this bringing back a person who's been sacked. Where's the basis in reality for THAT?
There have been similar shows in the past, like "Junkyard Wars" and "Mythbusters" that make the science fun, interesting, and even educational. "The Big Brain Theory" needs to be "re-architectured" to show true innovation and scientific analysis at work. In other words, concentrate on the science and not on the interpersonal squabbling.
