Last week on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? we met 39 year old Ed a.k.a Egghead. In his school years he was awarded a meritorious award by the local council. Ed's passion is flying. As a child he wanted to be a pilot. He has since gained his piloting licence, although it's recently lapsed.Two new contestants join the class tonight. We meet 24 year old Ben, a Production Sales Man-ager from Paddington. He left school at Year 11 to look for good job opportunities and a chance to utilise his 'charisma and charm'. And then there's Shelley. Miss Shelley is a sparkly tap dance teacher and mother of three from Melbourne. Watch for the message her adorable class of 3-5 year olds send to wish her good luck. It’s very cute and makes poor Shelley quite emotional.Could Shelley be our biggest winner yet? Or will she flunk out? Join Rove McManus as he reveals all on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?
