ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? - ENCORE PRESENTATION OF SOAPS WEEK!
Comedian Jeff Foxworthy hosts this new, fast-paced half-hour syndicated version of the atypical game show that measures adults' lack of knowledge – as revealed by how much they've forgotten since grammar school. Grownups find themselves in a classroom setting, revisiting their youth, as they tackle subjects they were taught years ago ranging from art to geography and math to social studies. In ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?, however, the players are not alone and there is a way for contestants to "cheat" in this classroom. The adults have the opportunity to get some help – in the form of elementary advice from real 5th graders who always seem to know more than the contestants. Episodes air weeknights beginning at 8:00 p.m., ET/PT (7:00 p.m. ET/PT on Tuesday).

The second episode proves that smaller gators are no easier to predict, as the team heads to a drainage pipe to rescue Tracy (a 6’4”, 64 lb gator) and a private eight-acre pond to capture Mozell (a 5’8” and 56 lb gator). Then the team heads to the unlikely location of a cowboy church restroom, where they find Lou (a 6’1”, 64 lb gator) who needs to be rescued.

The woman is on a boat in a crowded recreation area and the firefighters have to be careful during the transfer to Fireboat 1, where one false move could be disastrous.
