BBC Three - Clever v Stupid, Supermarket StaffSearch BBC

A team of supermarket staff take on a team of brainiacs in mental and physical challenges.

Four young supermarket workers are brave enough to take on a team of the UK's brightest boffins in a series of challenges to find out who is really smart.

Matt Edmondson presents a provocative and funny studio game show. Clever v Stupid uses surprising games and unusual tasks to challenge the way we look at intelligence.
 
In each show a team of academically brilliant young people, the 'Clevers' take on a team who some might think are a little bit 'Stupid'. The two teams face quirky challenges that test all different areas of their intelligence, rather than simply measuring IQ and conventional intelligence.  With the help of psychologists, the games have been designed to level the playing field between the two teams, making it a fair fight.

Using games based on psychological research the show tests the teams' creativity, their emotional intelligence, their physical dexterity and practical skills.

The winner is decided in a dramatic final round called The Ultimate Mind Game that uses state of the art equipment to test the contestants' brainpower and focus.

A team of supermarket staff take on a musical prodigy, a doctor of pharmacology, an Oxford biologist and a mathematical genius. They are determined to prove to anyone who has ever called them stupid that the customer is not always right.   

The teams must use their creative intelligence to save 24 eggs from an 8 foot drop; get practical in a race that relies on their navigation skills; turn liar and detective in an emotional intelligence test; and show their physical prowess when they make a sandwich wearing goggles that turn the world upside down.

The adventurers endure a jungle initiation with boys of the Jaminawa tribe in Brazil.

The adventurers join boys of the Jaminawa tribe in the Brazilian Amazon and endure a jungle initiation to become men, involving hallucinogenic brews and sacrificing a snake.

Five young British men take on the challenge of a lifetime - to spend four months travelling the world, taking on some of the most deadly creatures and hostile places on the planet. 

The adventurers join boys of the Jaminawa tribe in the Brazilian Amazon and endure six days of a jungle initiation to become men. To succeed they must follow the rules of Jaminawa shaman Carlito, who has taught generations of boys the secrets of the jungle the hard way.

The modern world is fast approaching the edge of Jaminawa territory, and Carlito is intent on keeping ancient traditions alive for the next generation. He is taking ten local village boys into the jungle to learn its secrets and commune with its spirits. For the first time, Carlito has agreed to take a group of outsiders. 

If the Brits are to emerge from the jungle as Jaminawa men they will have to do everything Carlito demands of them. It means taking strong hallucinogenic brews to enter the spirit world, involves hunting for crocodile and sacrificing a snake to obtain its secrets, and finally going through a trial-by-pain to atone for the snake's death.

So far Ben and Easton have failed every task and this time they simply have to man-up. But since Nick conned his way through to the end of their previous challenge, the group of adventurers haven't exactly been best of friends. How will they cope when the pressure really builds up?
