Lisa Van Gemert became a new representative of MENSA and a new judge. Pam Mueller was changed for Dr. Timothy Gunn to validate the questions.
The Format of Child Genius
Twenty kids from all over the country participate in the project. They are 8-12 years old. They are going to compete for a large sum of money that can be used to pay the studies in college (it’s $100,000). The winner is also going to become The Child Genius of the year. New competitions are held every week. They are usually mental tests aimed to evaluate their logical skills and knowledge. They compete in all possible spheres and subjects – Maths, History, Geography, Literature, Arts, Human Body, Biology, Science, Spelling, U.S. Presidents, Astronomy, Inventions, Vocabulary, Zoology and even Current Events.
The presenter of the show is Leland Melvin – he was a NASA astronaut in the past. The competitors are professionally judged by Matt Stern (a member of MENSA) and Pam Mueller (Jeopardy! project champion). The reality show is filmed in Los Angeles, California.
Reception
The show looked quite odd for Lifetime Network, but received positive feedback both from the critics and from the viewers. Unfortunately, the second season didn’t manage to repeat the ratings of the first one.
