This time out, the competish will focus on gifted tykes who are experts on a given topic -- be it astronomy or Shakespeare.

The geniuses will answer increasingly difficult questions in their given topic. The catch: Their parents can choose to walk away with the accumulated cash at any time.

The kids' parents will decide whether to trust their genius' answers by consulting with a panel of experts. If they think their kid is wrong, they may opt to go home.
