From About.com on Game Shows:
In a special two-hour episode tonight, one contestant who is a Dallas Cowboys fan will have the option to replace the regular 5th grade class with five Dallas cheerleaders who just happen to be on hand (and in uniform) for the occasion.
FOX has supplied a few sample questions from tonight's episode. Let's see how you do on them!
1. 1st Grade Art: True or False: Gluing macaroni onto a picture frame is an example of macramé.
2. 2nd Grade Measurements: Zero degrees Celsius is equivalent to how many degrees Fahrenheit?
3. 3rd Grade English: What is the singular form of the word “lice”?
Might be old news, but I'm just seein' it.

I'd take the kids. At least they have seen the answers recently.
None of these questions are hard but whatever doofus they have on the show will probably struggle mightily with some or all of them.
And lacking much else to watch of late I will probably watch them do it. Of course thanks to Tivo I can watch the 2 hour special in about 45 minutes tops and still have time to see the silicon jiggle...

How convenient of them to give the three question for which the contestant needed his cheats and help on!
1. He said, "I think macrame is making macaroni into jewelry."
2. I wasn't watching closely, but I think he was totally clueless on this, and just went with the "copy".
3. He was torn between "ice," "lice" and the answer he went with, "lie."

Well, at least they finally got a competent contestant although the producers no doubt had to hold their collective noses and break all the rules by letting a MAWG play. Too bad he didn't follow his instinct and have just a bit of gambler in him. Its been awhile since we have even seen a million dollar Q.
It also seemed they were gunning for a big winner. That was a pretty easy stack, at least for me. Nothing that was even a little bit of concern.
Then we went right back to a "good TV personality"...
Although that was a toughish first question.
I was wrong about one thing though. Didn't take 45 minutes to watch.
More like a shade under 35...

Having clueless contestants wasn't enough, so they had to offer "help" from some clueless cheerleaders? At least he had sense to call on the kids, after the first couple of questions.
And the cheerleaders weren't totally clueless. A couple of them were actually able to multiply 13 x 7!

It was like watching one "Tony Romo" on the stage and five "Jessica Simpsons" in the luxary box. He was spending more time watching them than thinking about the questions.

No, only one. Of the four they showed one said "105", one started to do the math correctly, one had no answer at all and the fourth one said something else. We never did see the fifth cheerleader's answer.

I thought 7 x 13 was 28. At least that's what Lou Costello taught me.
