Genius Game: David Tennant to the fore but is that enough to beat The Traitors?

Review: Genius Game DAVID Tennant is not known for being one of life’s shy, retiring types, but even for him, taking the persona of “The Creator” in ITV1’s blingy new reality game show was going some. Was “God” already taken? The job title matched Genius Game’s towering ambition: to knock the BBC’s Traitors off the top perch, no less. It might even be in with a chance - if anyone can work out what the heck is going on. So impenetrable were Genius Game’s trials, they might as well have called the show “Eh?”
