Mind of a Man is a game show that premiered on the Game Show Network in 2014. The show is hosted by comedian Ross Mathews, who oversees a panel of two female contestants who try to guess what men really think about various topics. The show is focused on the differences between men and women, and the perception women have of how men think. The questions are geared towards topics that are generally associated with male interests, such as sports, cars, and gadgets. Some questions are more lighthearted, such as what type of pizza toppings men prefer, while others are more serious, such as what men think about long-distance relationships.
The game is comprised of three rounds. In each round, the contestants are presented with a question, and then the panel of men gives their response. The women’s job is to guess whether the majority of men agree or disagree with the panel's response. Each correct guess earns points, and the contestant with the most points at the end of three rounds wins a prize.
The first round, called "What Were You Thinking?" features questions that are intended to be more straightforward. The panel of men will be asked a question and they will give their answer. The women will then be given a list of possible answers, and they need to choose the response that they believe the majority of men gave.
The second round, called "What Do You Think?" requires a bit more strategy. The panel of men is presented with a question, and they are given an opportunity to discuss the question among themselves. They then give their answer, and the women need to decide whether they believe the majority of men agree or disagree with the panel's response. There is also a twist: one of the panelists called the "Mind Reader" is able to listen in on the women's discussion and try to guess their answer. If the Mind Reader is correct, he earns double points.
The final round, called "What will he say?" features a single question. Both women are given a set of choices, and they each choose which panelist they believe will choose each response. Each correct guess is worth double points, and the woman who earns the most points is declared the winner.
Along the way, the show provides some interesting insights into the way men think. Some answers are what you might expect, while others are surprising. For instance, when asked about the ideal way to spend a weekend, some men preferred a night out with friends over spending time with their significant other. Other questions delve deeper, covering topics like whether men believe in marriage, and what men think about the #MeToo movement.
Mind of a Man is slickly produced with a lot of energy and humor. The contestants are engaging, and Ross Mathews is an excellent host, who keeps the action moving and provides a lot of laughs along the way. But the real star of the show is the panel of men. They have a wide range of personalities, from the jock to the nerd, and they are all charming and witty in their own way.
Overall, Mind of a Man is an entertaining show that offers some insights into the male psyche. It's not going to change any lives, but it's a fun way to pass the time and maybe learn a thing or two about what men really think.
