QUIZ RECAP

Oh what fun we had this balmy Tuesday night as Quizmaster Sanyee subbed in for Maddie (we miss you, Maddie!!!) and unveiled an all-too-enticing glimpse of what Survey Slam is like with the Drinking Round.

It was jaw-droppingly impressive just how Scott's Tots roared far ahead of every other group during the Drinking Round -- their heads combined to obtain the highest points possible with each of the six questions. They were truly unbeatable and now they cannot wait to find a venue to play the full Survey Slam!

Laughs were had throughout the night -- especially as witty teams proposed their own clever quips for Survey Slam and other questions.

Here's a sampling of some of the gut-busting hilarity that colored the (incorrect but highly honorable mention) responses:

Q: Name a horror villain that you think might secretly be good in bed.

"Pennywise."

Q: Name something you can't do for more than five minutes.

"Jump rope."

And two teams both put -- "Stay off phone / check phones."

So, so, so true. Which is the beauty of trivia -- because it brings us all together and gets us to put away our phones for two glorious hours!

Q: What Sony device lost the videotape format war to VHS tapes?

"Stock footage."

(Other than that answer, everyone knew their videotape format wars.)

Q: Be Cool was the 2005 sequel to what John Travolta film?

"Grease 2."

Q: What is the name of the cat in Stephen King's Pet Sematary?

"Sammy." "It." "Snuffles." "Fluffy."

Q: What breed are President Obama's dogs Bo and Sunny?

"Cockapoodle."

Well, that sounds like a cross between a bird and a poodle. Which I guess is fitting with the Pets theme of the round!

Huge shoutout to team Bob who showed up to play at Round 4 and still managed to close the night out on 26 points! And were only one of two teams to know the fictional currency aligned with Star Trek.

However, Ikea Hot Dog could not be beat tonight -- with not one, not two, but THREE successful Double Downs (in Round 2 -- losing Presidential Candidates, Round 3 with the Pets theme, and Round 6 with the fictional currency handout), they ran away with the lead and ended the night on 80 points.

Scott's Tots, who won Third last week, came in Second this week with 45 points -- and Tried and Trivial did a stellar job coming in Third with 44 points.

And a huge shout-out to all of our newcomers who were brand new to King Trivia but totally rocked out -- Cobra Venom, Sisters in Sin, and of course, They Should Turn the Water Pressure in the Bathroom Down. Great job all-around!!!

I can't wait to come back to sub in again next time Maddie needs me -- or also just to come out and play alongside y'all while she's hosting!

Much love and happy Tuesday!
