In this Andy Borowitz story, quiz show host Dan Vermillion (39-year-old Martin Mull) invites Weemawee High to participate.  The team is made up of Patty, her previously seen crush Larry Simpson (Ben Marley), and Muffy, who's now also crushing on Larry.  Despite Lauren saying that Patty is the smartest girl in school, and despite the fact that she's on the team because of her GPA, Lauren gives her the bad advice to act dumb to attract Larry.  He sees through her and says he likes smart girls.  In the end, he goes out with the smart girl from the opposing team.

Karen Armstrong returns as Cindy, while Steven Peterman is back as teacher Rob Donovan.
