The biggest show of the year! The quiz final. After 34 contestants, the third season of 50 Grades Smarter has been a thrilling affair.

However, only three could get to the final, and they consisted of singer-songwriter John Paul Elliot, Walk In Coma frontman Alex John Adlington, and The Dom Clark Trio (which two of them made an appearance). And it was a friendly but fiercely competitive affair.

Alex took the early lead after two rounds, steering clear with three points. This wasn’t to last long however. As from the third round John Paul Elliot clicked into gear and led the rest of the way – he was a convincing winner. You can hear the full show below.
