Episode 2.1 It's a brand new year at Are You Smarter... Elementary as more and more grownups try and conquer the classroom... but it's the same old class? Well, they've served us well so far. So let's welcome back our students with a 35-year-old captain in the United States Marine Corps. Transferring from Peace River Elementary in Port Charlotte, stand at arms and salute the first new student of season 2, ROBERT RUDDER! At ease, class. He wasn't that good in elementary school, but he had a 3.9 GPA in college as an information management major. We may have found the million dollar man. Rules of the game have not changed. The game is played in five rounds with 10 subjects ranging from 1st Grade to 5th Grade. You can choose them in any order. The class will play along with you. Each round consists of two questions, with one classmate helping per round. If you get stumped, you can call on three cheats:
- PEEK: where you can look at what
your classmate wrote and decide whether or not to go with that answer. If at any time you are stumped to the point where you can't continue, you can elect to drop out of school and take the money that you've won, BUT you have to look into the camera and tell the millions of people watching, "I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader." But if you survive all five rounds, you will be offered the chance to take a risk on one final question for $1 million dollars. Got it, Captain? Good. Because school is now in session. Open your textbooks to page one...
We start the new season off with Kyle center
stage helping.
Robert is a big fan of eating. He goes with Thanksgiving... Sir, that's $1000, sir!
Robert goes with TRUE. Kyle said... TRUE. Both are right! Robert has already done two tours in Iraq. Jeff calls him a true American hero and wants him to be the first millionaire on this show. Time to switch out for Alana as we meet the family in the crowd.
Alana is locked in. Robert thinks he knows it. He goes with two. "Good" and "Hairy." Spencer: "2. My dog is hairy and fat!" ... both of them are right!
Robert's dad is an entomologist. He better get this right. He goes with pupa. Family likes that answer. Good job for $10,000! Robert wants to get his son a new video game system and his family a trip to Florida. Next up is the milestone question for $25,000. He gets this right, he can't leave with less than that. Here to help is Jacob.
Robert's actually torn one of his ligaments, but he locks in with tendons. Correct for $25,000! So he's locked in at that much. But let's take a look at this for $50,000.
He can picture the Canadian national flag... and the big maple leaf on it. He locks in maple. That's right for $50,000! Next classmate to help is Marki.
Fun fact: Robert scored a 1270 on his SATs. Robert needs to take a PEEK. Marki said... "India". Robert decides to go with it. She's right, Robert's right, he's got $100,000!
Marki's locked in quickly. Quickly is good. Robert takes a stab at 1000... Good for $175,000! OORAH! Spencer, come on down. It's game time. He wants Robert to go for the harder one, US History, first.
Robert's good with presidents. He's thinking about Roosevelt. Which Roosevelt? "Theodore Roosevelt." ... The class said Franklin Roosevelt, 3-1 (Alana agreeing with Robert). Those three... are right. The only way Robert can stick around is if Spencer says Franklin. Spencer said... Jeff wants to take a break. ... after the break... "Fraklin D. Roosevelt". COUNT IT! And the crowd goes crazy! Last question...
Robert thinks he knows this one. The only country he knows of is Russia. He thinks about it... is he $275,000 strong? Yes. He's locked. Correct answer is... RUSSIA! One question remains... the Million Dollar Question. The classmates can't help. The cheats are rendered useless. You are allowed to see the category for free and take the money and run if you don't feel strong about it, but if you decide that you want to take the question, there is no turning back. The Million Dollar Question category is... 5th Grade WORLD HISTORY. Is this chance at a million worth $475,000 to Robert? He doesn't think World History is worth $475,000, so he drops out with the $500,000! But just for shiggles, here's the question.
"I don't have the faintest idea." Correct: Jacques Cartier. But Jacques Cartier didn't have $500,000... New student next time. |
