(Source: abc.go.com)In last night's episode of "The Scholar," six contestants battled for one remaining spot in the finals. The four finalists who had already qualified didn't have to compete.

The task? Debate the pros and cons of same-sex marriage. Two teams presented and defended their cases in front of judges (from USC, of course). The winning team's captain would be joined by two others, chosen by the "Scholarship Committee," in the final showdown.

For the showdown, the topic was U.S. presidents. Ironically, the pompous kid, the one who believes he's destined to become president, was the first eliminated. He got his presidents right but his centuries wrong. Oh well. He should remember that even a C student can become president.

So now we're down to the five finalists, who will vie for the "full-ride" scholarship. Seems the show, mercifully, is winding down.
