Those little question cards that Mike reads

[twoelles]

Does anyone else get the feeling that each question card in the Elimination room contains two questions? An easy one and a more difficult one, and that depending on which one is read to the contestants, can decide the fate of the game?

I think he already know who going to be safe.

[twoelles]

How do you mean, Lindab?

makes you wonder.... it seems like there are definitely two distinct levels of difficulty.

I was actually wondering the same thing, twoelles. That last question to Mario seemed MUCH harder than the others. It seems like whenever they want to eliminate someone, Mike reads a question that begins with "According to your study materials..."

I think there is something up to. I mean come on...was the Three Little Pig's story a part of the study material? Every person knows that last house was brick. And you don't have to be a genious to know what a "Circular" object looks like.

[mindy384]

yea.. im sure a complete list of fairy tales and fables was in the construction materials... come on!

I am glad to see someone else comment on this. I first noticed it last season when one team (Cher's?) routinely had simpler questions than the others, but figured it was just the luck of the draw. However, this season, the difference between the difficulty level of the two sets of questions is ridiculous. If TPTB are not actively arranging to keep the "preferred" team, they should take a good long look at the questions to make sure they are of equal difficulty. And wouldn't it be interesting if one of the (preferably losing) contestants asked to see the card?

I don't remember easy questions last season. Cher got almost every single question right in elimination so I doubt she was definitely well studied and ready for any question.

Then again, a little internet sleuthing did turn up the fact that Cher was faking her ditzyness, and was actually quite a brain herself.
