  • Needs a dose of reality

    The concept of the show is sound, and they had some good ideas in the past, but the ideas served up recently are absolute tripe. "Give people a disability for 2 months" "build mythical creatures". I find myself listening in disgust to how the judges will humour the lunatic ramblings rather than listening to what is supposed to be an educated idea to improve the world.
