The question is, did he do well because he's actually an intelligent guy, or did he do well because he was in full-blown Burt Reynolds-impression mode and didn't really give a damn? Remember, the celebrities really only had to answer five questions, they were effectively spotted the first ten, and it's awfully easy to say "What the hell, B, final answer", when it's not your money and you still go home to a nice house with a swimming pool.
You could put Koko The Sign Language Gorilla in the chair, and assuming she had an interpreter to tell her what the panel was saying for the first ten questions, she'd still have a reasonable chance for a big payday.
