Show Rules
Two teams take part in the show - male and female. To win, women must ask themselves: what do they know about the male world and how do men relate to this? Men, in turn, must do the same about women.
The duel of the male and female worlds is divided into rounds, consisting of easy polls, various contests and competitive games. In addition, topics are discussed that men and women do not raise in the presence of each other. The show consists of seven contests, during which there is an accumulation of funds in the accounts of teams. The winner is determined in the final of the eighth round, where the winner's money earned for the game doubles.

Scandals
The first host of the program and the first captain of the women's team, Olga Freimut , left the project, as well as the television producer, in the stages of preparation for the new season. This aroused indignation both in the channel’s leadership and its co-host - Sergei Pritula [4] .
The second captain of the women's team, Russian TV presenter Yekaterina Barnava , was forced to refuse to shoot in season 7 of the project after she was banned from entering the country. In 2019, Catherine was on the list of persons “threatening the national security of Ukraine” [5]
