Evan Boch won last year's season, and will be covering the new season for the Perplex City Sentinel

twelve researchers are confined in a lab complex for months to conduct research, under constant threat of weekly eviction if they fail at puzzle challenges, or if their research is deemed too poor by guest professors from the University (and recently, the Academy)
producers make contestants compete for equipment, space and a share of the weekly budget, and the constant pressure to achieve often results in outstanding research and blazing on-screen romances
