Beat the Champions

Beat the Champions is a one-hour, reality competition special in which everyday athletes are epically mismatched against some of the world's best athletes (i.e. Miss Franklin, Rob Gronkowski & Scottie Pippen).

Premise
To level the playing field, the champs will be faced with increasingly absurd ad hilarious handicaps, while the amateurs will be given increasing levels of assistance to beat their elite competition whether in the water, on the line of scrimmage or on the hardwood. The greater the assist needed by the contestant, however, the lesser the prize money awarded. Over the course of three rounds, competitors will have chance to win more than $100,000.

Trivia

 * Finesse Mitchell was a former SNL alumni.


 * Before this special, New England Patriot, Rob Gronkowski competed in an episode of Celebrity Family Feud on ABC in the same year.


 * The special aired immediately following the coverage of the FIFA WOMEN'S WORLD CUP.
