This was an interesting game where round 1 was a big determination of the finals results of the game with our top 4 contenders getting perfect scores (2 of them doubling), while The Number of Homeless Dudes Sean Had Blown Is, a usual contender, had a failed double in round 1 which left them too wounded for the rest of the game.

Fear of Flying found themselves tied for 3rd with Elbow Grease, despite having more wrong answers (overall & in round averages) than Elbow Grease (who found themselves in the lead for the entire 1st half). The tie was forced mostly in part by an extremely well timed double by Fear of Flying in round 5. The luck continues for Fear of Flying as they take the tiebreaker & take the bronze!

Dan Would Know That had a breakout performance tonight with 2 successful doubles & a perfect round! Showing an almost veteran like patience, they cruise into 2nd, taking the silver!

Many people believe that being a champion is all about scoring points, but the truth is, anyone can score points. Every dog has it's day. Anyone can be a winner, but to be a true champion, you need resiliency. Bruce Jennertalia displayed that brilliantly tonight. They stayed calm when the pressure was on, like in round 4 when they decided to play conservative & received a hugely important 2 points. They chose their opportunities very wisely, doubling in round 5, which doubled their entire score & kept them with the pack, & then there was their legendary double in round 7 (the only double that round), which had them leap frog over 4 teams! & just when we thought this wasn't Bruce Jennertalia's night tonight, they defy expectations, take the lead at the last possible moment, & take the gold! & thus the reign of our defending champions is at 2 weeks!
