The last 2 seasons ticked me off because the two 'queens' just slid their way through & the nerdiest ones were out quick. I love the show, love the concept but I don't like how the previous winners were in no way the master nerd of the competition.

I like the show, but I'm missing out on some of the fun. Part of the fun in reality shows is discussing it with other viewers. It's a social experience that is pretty unique to these types of shows. I find myself left out of a lot of the conversation when the episodes aren't made available. Episode six aired already, but neither it nor episode five is available, so I'm two weeks behind. I don't know any other show on Google Play that has issues like this. If I had known this when I purchased the season, I would have not done so. In short, I would not recommend anyone who enjoys discussing this show with others outside of a tight nit group to buy the season with plans to watch while the show airs.
