Scoop: Coming Up on a New Episode of MENTAL SAMURAI on FOX - Tuesday, June 22, 2021 Hosted by Rob Lowe (9-1-1: LONE STAR), MENTAL SAMURAI is a combination of game show, sporting event and thrill ride, in which contestants mentally battle each other - and a ticking clock - as they attempt to stay focused and answer a wide variety of fun and interactive questions of knowledge, memory, puzzles and sequencing. All this while being whipped around THE ARENA strapped into "Ava," a high-speed capsule and robotic arm capable of twisting and turning a full 360 degrees. A competition series that pushes every aspect of human INTELLIGENCE and mental agility, MENTAL SAMURAI is the first-ever obstacle course...for the mind. Lowe welcomes contestants, including a surfer, a creative director from NYC, a self-proclaimed nerd and a dentist from Dallas, one of whom may defeat the Circle of Samurai and win more than $100,000 in the all-new "Episode 205" episode of MENTAL SAMURAI airing Tuesday, June 22 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

In MENTAL SAMURAI, people from all walks of life will compete, new stars will emerge, underdogs will triumph and egos will be SHATTERED in the ultimate display of skill, focus and stamina.
