VOTE: Who’s smarter than a 5th grader?

Have you seen this new game show? “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader” is a show on FOX that tests how smart adults are compared to a group of 5th graders. But mind you, the kids are no ordinary students! When they grow up, some of them want to be scientists, inventors, accountants, marine biologist (!). Child prodigies and geniuses, uh oh.

Season Three kicks off with supermodel Kathy Ireland and Georgia State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox going for the gold star in the special two-hour season premiere Friday, Sept. 5 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

Other notables attending class this season include TV personality Star Jones (“The View”), actress Jennie Garth (“Beverly Hills, 90210”), KISS front man Gene Simmons, boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard, zookeeper Jack Hanna and actor Dean Cain (“Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman”). Also going for extra credit and hoping to reach the top prize of $1 million are astronaut Robert “Hoot” Gibson, “Jeopardy!” record-holder Ken Jennings and Nobel Prize Laureate George Fitzgerald Smoot III. 

So, who among them will turn out smarter than a 5th grader?

This season’s new class of 5^th graders includes:

· Bryce, 10, from Rockwall , TX , loves math and wants to be a lawyer or accountant when he grows-up.

· Francesca, 10, from San Diego , CA , says science is her favorite subject and aspires to be a veterinarian or a missionary.

· Jenna, 10, from Baltimore , MD , likes English and science and dreams of becoming a marine biologist.

· Jonathan, 9, from Los Angeles , CA , considers lunch to be his favorite subject and wants to be a scientist or an inventor one day.

· Olivia, 10, from Los Angeles , CA , loves history, art and wants to design video games when she gets older.
