No ridiculous “family ties” got in the way of Jack earning a Princeton degree, which most people don’t know is printed on black paper in orange ink. Jack would never have wasted his time with such nonsense on the Princeton Campus. Alex chose to comfort Mallory during her romantic crisis rather than complete his admissions interview and he forever dashed his dream of attending Princeton. Alex wasn’t even mad at Mallory for damning him to a life without the riches of Princeton: thirteen different a cappella groups and a completely unwarranted sense of superiority for an association with something in New Jersey. (In the 80’s, without the aid of computers, yearbook preparation demanded an incredible amount of athletic vigor and stick-to-it-iveness.) Jack won the Amory Blaine Handsomeness Scholarship to Princeton, but Alex won the McKinley Scholarship to the renowned Leland University. This was, of course, after Mallory ruined Alex’s on-campus admissions interview when she tagged along to surprise her boyfriend, Jeff, who was attending Princeton and dating another woman.
Jack was captain of the diving team and Alex was co-editor of the Harding High yearbook. Jack was a sports hero on his ice hockey team and also a talented flutist. Sadly, his mother once forced him to combine these talents and play the “Star Spangled Banner” on the flute in front of his hockey team in Sadchester, Massachusetts. An electoral race between these two heavy-hitters would pull out all the stops. Let’s take a look at how they stack up.īoth men excelled in school and held leadership positions from a young age. Alex was an economic wunderkind - with his Nixon rattle and dollar sign mobile - doing his parents taxes at age five. The confidence is at least partly justified both men were precocious and preternaturally talented as children.
It goes without saying that these two men are financial masterminds, with nothing lacking in the confidence department. Duels or “classy show-downs” as they are often called by no one, have been solving hot debates for ages. They’re useful for delivering crowds a champion, through often unpredictable means (just ask Alexander Hamilton). Television loves a surprise, so what better way to measure and battle elements of TV than with a duel? Here, we will battle two characters in an imaginary contest of wills. Sometimes a winner will be crowned because of pertinent facts, and sometimes in spite of them.
