BuzzerVision: “5th Grader” Is Shelling Out The Dough
There have already been two $250,000 winners on 5th Grader in just 47 episodes (counting only first-run and MyNetwork): Elizabeth Miller, on the first-run syndicated episode October 19, and this man, Geoff Wolinetz, on MyNetwork’s second episode on November 3rd (For comparison, it took the primetime version 86 episodes to get two winners).

Now THAT is how to play "5th Grader"- even Kathy Cox or George C. Smoot didn't do that when they won $1 Million on that show. I will have to admit, though, that Geoff got lucky about his Bonus Question being one of the rare visual ones.
If you count all the first-run CMT episodes and the extra double-run syndicated episodes, we've gone through 114 episodes, and I think we've only got 46 to go in the inaugural season.
Geoff is the second contestant who was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ($50,000 winner in 2005) and Are You Smarter Than a Fith Grader. Victor King was on Millionaire ($1,000 in 2005) and Fifth Grader ($500,000 in 2007).
