While it's sometimes obvious that they've seeded useful bits around the junkyard, in one way the show appears to be anything but fixed.
Is it just me, or do the U.S. teams seem a lot more dependent on their experts ("what *is* a hovercraft?" comes to mind)? It makes me wonder if this is post-1950s game show laws coming in to play: they can't propose challenges based on what the contestants know.
I've seen two classes of people who might rate the label "prima donna".
Category 1: people who are really good at what they do, but who are arrogant and obnoxious about it.
Category 2: people who are complete morons, but who are arrogant and obnoxious because they think they're in Category 1. This is often the "a little knowledge..." syndrome at work.
I can deal with Category 1 people - while obnoxious, they tend to be good enough to get away with it. I have no time for Category 2.
