Friday, September 05, 2008

Tonight, fans of the very amusing reality competition that pits adults against smart kids returns to FOX, with a two-hour long season premiere that features celebrity contestants. We previously reported that the recently syndicated show will feature celebrities such as former supermodel Kathy Ireland as they enter the battle of the brains with a fresh batch of fifth graders.

Some of the celebrities who will be playing for their favorite charities include Superman himself, Dean Cain, talk show host Star Jones, former boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, Beverly Hills star Jennifer Garth and KISS frontman, Gene Simmons.

Tonight, fans gear up for another season of fun-filled competitions as Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? returns to television screens. Before anything else, though, let’s take a look at this season’s young faces who claim they could beat their adult counterparts.

First up, we have Olivia, who was born on April 13, 1998. This young fan of Rolling Stones enjoys social studies and art, and loves reading, drawing, traveling and video games. This 10-year-old also takes Kung-Fu lessons.
