AMATEUR COMPETITORS TRY TO BEAT WORLD-CLASS ATHLETES ON AN ENCORE OF THE FOX SPECIAL, "BEAT THE CHAMPIONS," AIRING SATURDAY, JULY 18, ON FOX

Amateurs Compete Against Olympic Gold Medalist Missy Franklin, New England Patriot and Super Bowl Champion Rob Gronkowski and NBA Champ Scottie Pippen

Comedian Finesse Mitchell Hosts

The fun and games have just begun as FOX gives amateur athletes with big egos and big dreams the chance to BEAT THE CHAMPIONS, a competition special in which everyday athletes are epically mismatched against some of the world's best athletes - four-time Olympic Gold Medalist Missy Franklin, Super Bowl champ superstar Rob Gronkowski and six-time NBA champ Scottie Pippen. To level the playing field, the champs are faced with increasingly absurd and hilarious handicaps, while the amateurs are 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 less prize money awarded. Over the course of three rounds, competitors have a chance to win more than $100,000. Will these disadvantages be enough for the amateurs to BEAT THE CHAMPIONS? Find out when an encore of the one-hour special, hosted by comedian Finesse Mitchell, airs Saturday, July 18 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (SP-1506) (TV-PG L)
