Aside from the fact that I have a headache from all the thinking this show made me do, this was such a good watch! Watching people do something they're good at while you also try to figure it out is a weird kind of fun I enjoy.

What I loved:
1) The Teamwork! I live for the teamwork on variety/ survival shows. Though most of the games were mind power based, the preparation and strategy needed to figure out the solutions needed a lot of teamwork and I think for strangers (it did seem like they met on the first day of the show), all the teams worked together incredibly well.

2) The Games. I tried to play along but it's hard when the focus keeps shifting to the people actually supposed to be playing! I guess that was the point though, but the games they picked were genuinely so interesting. It was a mix of very common games, made much more complicated than they usually are and I loved it.

3) No betrayals or backstabbing or deceit. Strong words, but this may have been my favorite part of this show. There's always this aspect of having to betray someone you form an alliance with in elimination style competition, but I loved that each university was a team, and there was no need to form alliances and break them to get ahead in the game, just their skills.

What I didn't like:
1) MATH! So much maths!
The only thing I didn't like, like throw some trivia in there or something. They did have some games based on strategy, reasoning and probability, but a solid chunk of it was maths.

I had a great time with this, it was the break I needed from all the thinking I had to do for my assignments, projects and such.. more thinking.. loved it.
