Ok so, "Most smartest"


'America's Most Smartest Model'
"The title of the show is a joke," host Mary Alice Stephenson tells an assembled group of 16 models in the latest purposely dumb VH1 show. "But the competition and the stakes are very very real."
The prize is $100,000, which didn't impress some of them. But here they were again to burn their brains into our conciousness.
The competition marks the return of Ben Stein to quasi-quiz show. This time he's not giving away his own money (and does not jave Jimmy Kimmel as sidekick). Instead, he's dripping with sarcasm as he asks questions, yes, fifth graders (even fifth grade models) would know.


Q. Who wrote the famous American novel 'Tom Sawyer'?
A. Tom Sawyer?
Q. What's the square root of 144
A. I don't have the slightest idea.


They didn't even do well in conversation.
Q. Is your family native-born Americans?
A. No.
Q. Where are they from?
A. California



Coded locks were put on the bathroom and refrigerators with answers that would have to prove the most rudimentary knowledge. One was the year Columbus discovered America, on another the year the U.S. declared independence.

Oh God, Someone please tell us when this aires!!!!!
