I was one of the contestants on season 2. Overall it was a fun experience, being on national television and meeting other gifted kids, and traveling to LA to be on a TV show. How many kids can say they've done that? I was only in the first episode and if you've seen it, you know why.
I will say that the show does a poor job of representing neurodivergent geniuses, save for the really high functioning ones. The time limits, subject material, and drama and stress are too much for neurodivergent geniuses like myself. They should have adjusted for that
