Smartest Guy on Show So Far

Smartest Guy on Show So Far by Roxanne McDonald

Smartest guy on the show “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?” so far, is what Jeff Foxworthy calls Victor, the man with the 1390 on his SATs and a law degree from University of Michigan.

Victor is also the player with the quickest trigger finger thus far, a characteristic the producers of this episode play up, play on, and milk for all it is worth.

Still, Victor goes further than most contestants, making it all way up to and through the penultimate question—dropping out of school as the final question topic is revealed:
