Australia's Brainiest Footballer

Hopefully the end is near in sight. An otherwise driveling of the mind as background information passes through. There is nothing like speed for a sense of urgency. Host Sandra Sully does not provide this, continuing with the intros filthy with kickbacks to sporting clichés.

Lots of time with the lights out as the contestants strike here and there, massively overestimating and shooting wide of the posts. Andrew Ettinghausen looks the early loser and stays at the bottom. Jade Rawlings and Jeremy Wade join soon after as the mad dash into the second round from the equal sharing top tier spreads thin.

A moon in the background tries to wave to someone only to come off like being electrocuted.

Second round features the evil eye from Spida Everitt when Jeremy Paul takes the hit. Michael Crocker snaps easy on Film and TV picking up 7 then 16. Paul is jittery, jumping about to score only 10 with Sport and Pot Luck. Josh Hannay goes nowhere with 5 from Music and 4 from History. Everitt is self-admittedly hopeless as he shouts himself down on Current Affairs and Literature handing in a total of 6. Kingsley takes it easy when Geography and Natural World slip him a 14. Nathan Buckley isn't too far from it holding over with Food and Drink and Science on 15 for the round.

Everitt, Hannay and Paul out on the second run, sitting back with the others on the sidelines.

Final rounds sees Kingsley with 1984 Olympics, Crocker on the Harry Potter series and Buckley tackling Australian Sporting Heroes. Frankly, there's no game left as Kingsley nails his answers with eagerness and surety that gapes the others. With no apparent challenges from the start, Kingsley takes the win and donates his win to the McGuiness McDermott Foundation.
