Nothing too big.... , a couple of $2 million DonD games, and the special "Last Man Standing" 1 vs 100 ep (which sounds interesting...)

FEB 2:  In tonight's episode, Mitch Mishke of Telluride, Colorado will play for a top prize of $1 million by trying to out-smart the mob, which is comprised of kids -- joining kid mogul Jason O'Neill of Pencil Bugs and kid "Jeopardy!" champion Madeleine Suchard are fellow kid geniuses, science fair winners, and spelling bee champions
Anybody who attended the Game Show Congress in 2005 remembers Maddie, a remarkable young lady who was competing with adults in most of the game show competitions, and even beat Burns Cameron at Jeopardy.  She should be fun to watch.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Yeah, they did.

Since he's referred to on another thread, did Matthew Lesko get knocked out week before last with his fellow infomercial star?  It would seem to me that Saget would say something if he got knocked out and that I would've seen him on last week's show, since he'd be wearing the same damn suit.

In order of how I'd expect them to fare:

kid-J! champions > kid geniuses > science fair winners > spelling bee champions

Spelling bee champions don't need to know the meanings of the words, although it's used as an aid in some competitions.
Science fair winners don't necessarily know much beyond, well, science.
Kid geniuses, even the ones with college degrees, have academic knowledge, but not necessarily pop-culture knowledge.
A J! champion, kid or not, generally needs to have a wide base of knowledge.
Protecting idiots from themselves just leads to more idiots.

I remember that they were both knocked out at the same time, on a question where a huge fraction of the mob was eliminated. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think it was early in the last episode and Bob chatted with one of the Passions cast members instead.
