Winner

Jacob was the graduate and winner of Tool Academy 3. Angelo, in his exit interview, felt the decision was wrong and that he wanted to graduate. He correlated the experience as "..the one student who sits there and studies the whole time, and does everything they are supposed to do, and then you have student at the end who just tries to cram everything in the night before, and cheats a little bit."[9]
