Lacks scientific knowledge and is badly casted
9 August 2008
I totally agree with the previous posts.

It's a Mythbusters ripoff. Calling it a bad one is not appropriate enough. It really sucks.

And in addition to that, the woman, the "scientific" member of the team totally lack any knowledge of advanced scientific topics that she should know about when being called a scientist on the show. Instead she puts things in the most basic ways with the most basic words, instead of describing the underlying scientific topics in such a way that the viewers without the same knowledge can understand it. I'm sure that she really doesn't understand what she really is talking about, instead she just reads a script she has been provided or something. She is totally *not* convincing, and should never have gotten the job anyway.

And that's the second thing about the show. In Mythbusters, Adam and Jamie is already coworkers, they know each other and have fun with each other. But in, (never mind, I forgot the title of the show I'm writing about but stick with me), they have been cast for the roles individually, not as a group. And you can tell by the chemistry of the whole group that they are not used to work with each other. This leads to badly coordinated projects (as stated in other posts) where they do mostly what the other people on the team does.

In other words: *Do not watch the show, you will get starved of both scientific knowledge and good entertainment*
