'Child Genius' Season 2 Episode 6 Spoilers, News: Vivek Dominates, Chancellor Barely Makes It Through
Vivek Abraham came out on top in the last episode of "Child Genius" season 2, while Chancellor Gary narrowly avoided elimination.
According to Pantagraph, the 10-year-old child genius scored a perfect score in Literature and Fines Arts, as well as Vocabulary. However, he's not the only one who got all the answers correct since Adrian Romoff, Arnav Krishna, and Claire Wang also got everything right.
There are only seven kids in the running, which means that more than half of them got perfect scores. It seems like a contestant is automatically in danger if they got one or two incorrectly since the level of competition is definitely tight. "Viewers can expect the competition to intensify as the field narrows. The kids left are the best of the best," Antony Abraham, Vivek's dad, said.
On the other hand, Chancellor placed seventh out of eight in the last episode of the show, with only a 1 point advantage from the eliminated contestant, Iris Hernandez. According to TC Palm, the 10-year-old Stuart, Florida-native scored eight out of 10 in Literature and Fine Arts, and seven out of 10 in Vocabulary, which almost sent him home. Fortunately for him, Iris only scored only seven out of 10 in both rounds, which made her the lowest scorer of the week.
Fans wonder if Chancellor will be the next one eliminated since it's the third time that he placed at the bottom of the pack. However, there may still be a chance for him since the contestants will have to face another Math round next week, and Chancellor did great in this round in the first week of the competition. He also remembered 52 out of 52 cards in the memory test, so viewers hope he can still pull it together to make it through the finale.
Meanwhile, TV Guide posted a synopsis for the upcoming episode titled "This Is an Outrage!" and the summary reads, "The remaining seven kids compete in advanced math and speed memory in hopes of advancing toward the $100,000 grand prize."
