5th Grader (spoilers)

#1 Post by MarleysGh0st » Fri Dec 14, 2007 8:05 am

The zero-dollar-winner rocket scientist carried over from last week's Llamarama show.
Spoiler
So, he gets up to the 4th grade $300K question, "Who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic ocean?" He has a strong hunch that the answer is Amelia Earhart (What other woman pilots would 4th graders know?) and he has both his cheats and his save left.

And he decides to play it safe by walking away! WTF???

Cody was up at the podium to help him and you could see, along with his half-hearted applause, that his expression was saying, "How pathetic!"

I agree - Cody's expression did look as if he thought the rocket scientist was wimping out.

OTOH the second contestant, the "party DJ" was a total doofus. How could he not know that a leap year has one more day than a regular year?

I wish this show would be cancelled.

Or they would change the title to, "Are You Dumb Enough To Be On Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?"....
I'm not worthy.

You want all the shows I watch to be cancelled! :(



Not that I wouldn't support a coup against TPTB on this show...among others. :twisted:

Not all of the shows you watch. You must watch at least one good show.

Don't you watch The Amazing Race?

Okay, so I exaggerated. Yes, I'm watching TAR, although I haven't followed every season.

I still say my favorite season was the Family Edition. :wink:
