Nation’s Dumbest is back on Fox tonight at 9p, and the celebrities are going to try to prove that they are not the dumbest celebrity in America.
The episode starts off with a logic test in which they have to guess which light bulb is broken among two rows of working ones. The bulbs are behind a wall, so they cannot see them when they are lit up. How many will figure out how to solve the puzzle?
Hilaria Baldwin, actress and model Carmen Electra, actor Anthony Michael Hall, actor Jon Heder, musician and actor Chase Hudy son, rapper and actor Ice-T, singer-songwriter Elle King, former NFL quarterback Matt Leinart, television personality and physician Dr. Drew Pinsky, stunt performer and comedian Steve-O, singer and performer JoJo Siwa, and entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang begin the round with two points. The ones who figure it out get another point; the ones who don’t lose one.
Now that they are all back in the classroom, it is time for a quiz. They answer several questions that seem like they should be common knowledge. But do they know the answers?
Things will be made more difficult for them because they will be wearing a hat with a balloon on it. The longer they take to answer a question, the more air is blown into the balloon. When it pops, they lose a point and are eliminated from the round.
Next up, it is time for a group spelling bee. Both teams are put up on a spelling beam, which is about 20 feet in the air. They each add a letter to the word they are asked to spell. If they get one letter wrong, the leader needs to jump down, and the beam retracts a few inches into the wall. The team that wins the challenge gets the point.
Finally, it is time for the final round. The celebrities enter the round with a maximum of 3 points and a minimum of 1 point. They will all answer the same question until there is one person standing. That person gets to go home because they are too smart to be dumbest.
Do you think you know who will go home? You will be surprised by how smart the celebrities who you think are the dumbest are. Well, at least in the challenges that are given to them.
That is the funnest part of the competition show, the element of surprise—that and how funny Ice-T, Andrew Yang, and Anthony Michael Hall are.
I didn’t know what to expect from Nation’s Dumbest, so I have been pleasantly surprised by how much I love it. Tune in, and I am sure you will feel the same way,
Oh, and I have a drinking game for you tonight. Every time Dr. Drew says that he became a grandfather for a second time, drink!
