Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

[Eaglestrike]

Anyone else watching this? My mom made me watch some of it today:

Some example questions:

How many "e"s are in the Pledge of Allegiance?

True or False: Are walruses native to the Arctic?

What is the name of the costellation of the Big Dipper?

How many teaspoons are in 5 tablespoons?

How much of the surface of the earth is water?
A) 70%
B) 80%
C) 90%

So far I've only missed one that I've seen, anyone else watching and...who is failing?

[Akiyama]

What's it on? o.O

[Exoduso]

The people participating are either pretending to be stupid, or they actually ARE that ridiculously stupid.

I watched it last night, one of the questions was something like "what is the longest US border?" and the person participating actually said Mexico...

A large portion of Americans are idiots. Have you ever seen the Jay Leno skit, "Jaywalking"?

Some people don't know shit. I think this show is awesome, lol.

[Tyche]

I would have said 3 to the pacific ocean question >.>

[gandorf]

Someone posted a link to a vid on here about something like that. Guy asked ppl name a country that starts with U people said Utah. Even im not that dumb. What channel is this thing on btw?

[Kiro]

Is this the Jeff Foxworthy one?

[Nuketwig]

Was on Fox, over now. I liked it, kind of the early parts of Millionaire with Jeff Foxworthy being snarky.

[Xavier]

Yea

Haha, I counted up to three but I think I've heard a question similar to that before and I was like "ooooh, it's a trick question" (at least in elementary school it is lol) and got to 5

I wouldn't have gotten the cloud one just now, but Spencer is a beast.

Foxworthy: Spencer how are you feeling about your answer?
Spencer: I'm feeling like a cirrus cloud. *sound effects and hand movements*

Also the son of that woman just added to the pics of the ones like Picard with his hand over his head, hahaha. Probably sad that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the kid like that >.>

One of the questions yesterday asked what do you get when you mix red and yellow...and it took her a good minute or two to come up with the answer. (orange, what are you kidding me?)

Think of how stupid the average American person is...if about 50% is dumber, not hard to imagine people don't know these kinds of things.

[Amarok]

The show is retarded they only manage to get through like 5 questions in an entire episode.

I love the Jaywalking skit on the Tonight Show. I remember one time he asked this girl "What wall did Reagan want to tear down?" she said the Berlin wall(correct answer). Then Leno asked "what country is that in?" and she said 'china"

Same, but looks like it's actually gonna be a 1hour show so like 10~12questions/episode.

[Exoduso]

They need to figure out a way to get at least 1 contestant through the entire show before it ends... it's annoying seeing 1 person over the course of 3 days.

[Orph]

I wonder how they do their screening process. I think shows like jeopardy and who wants to be a millionaire would pick smarter people. This one has to pick the dumbest people they can find.

[sephir]

That last question about how many states boarder the Pacific Ocean I got wrong I said 3, I completly forgot about Alaska and Hawii! She guessed the same thing as I did so I guess im not alone.

[Kenai]

At first the people being so dumb was funny, but by the end I was just exasperated. I mean, REALLY stupid answers that you just *can't* believe are honest.

[GraveRobberX]

This show will lose ratings quickly

Premise is ok, but overtime it will be too dumb down, that people will not get into it

Right now it's fresh, but it looks like it doesn't hav ethe legs to become a syndicated show (ala Millionaire/Jeporady/Wheel of Fortune)
[Weird those 3 top game shows are all on ABC]
