I noticed that last week’s episode had a segment bringing in two of the also-ran contestants from the pick the new Mythbusters contest. Promos for next week’s show also showed them participating in a segment. Gotta wonder whether the ratings and feedback from viewers have been poor enough that the producers are feeling the need to jack things up with a Kari and a Grant knockoff?
