BBC Three - Clever v Stupid, Glamour ModelsSearch BBC

Four glamour models go up against a Latin master, a scholar, a biologist and a Doctor.

Brand new game show featuring four gorgeous glamour models who take on a team of brilliant young boffins in a series of challenges to test 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.

Four stunning glamour models, including an ex-playboy bunny, go up against a Latin master, a literary scholar, an Oxford biologist and a Doctor of Pharmacology. The models are determined to prove they're smarter than the stereotype.

Among the games: the teams have to use just their emotional intelligence to impress a panel of strangers, be practical and unblock a sink, get creative and paint the abstract idea 'creativity' on a giant canvas and demonstrate physical control when they decorate a cake wearing goggles that turn the world upside down.
