I don't know if anyone else watches this, but here's a couple of highlights:

The first guy still had both cheats and the save, and he wimped out on which country the city of Canberry was the capital of? (Austrailia). Personally, even if I hadn't known the answer, I would have gambled that the kid did. No guts no glory. :p

The second guy used a peek on the question of "What is the least number of letters to make a word in the English language?". Even the 5th grader said that was sad. :)

I "watch" it, but I think I am lately watching this hour long show even faster than I "watch" the half hour WWTBAM. I basically FF up until they ask a question, then FF to the contestant's answer, and MAYBE a little bit of the host picking on them.

I think I'm getting a _little_ bit more than just reading the questions & answers off of a paper.. but not much.

(Some other game shows, and even WWTBAM until recently, I'd watch on my non-Tivo player at 1.5x with sound.. But now I even FF through most of the talk on WWTBAM... Jeopardy I watch at normal speed, except FF through the vast vast majority of interview segments.)
