Game Show Awards Poll: Smartest Game Show Contestant

The air date of June 6th for the GSN Game Show Awards is quickly approaching, and we've still got lots of polls to finish up before the event! We're making our picks based on the list of categories and nominees, and will compare them to the actual trophy winners once the show airs.

This poll is for Smartest Game Show Contestant, which again seems to pull its nominations only from very recent games (I really wish they would clarify this, and put the categories into separate sections for present and past shows - but I digress). From Kathy Cox's million dollar win on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? to Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions winner Dan Pawson, there are some definite brainiacs in the bunch. I guess a case could be made that Jeopardy! questions are usually written beyond the 5th grade level, but let's keep in mind that even the grand master of Jeopardy!, Ken Jennings, didn't win the million on 5th Grader.

So who's your favorite smarty-pants contestant? Vote now, and let's see if we agree with the contestant chosen by GSN!
