QUIZ RECAP

It was a dark and stormy night...

So begins one of the worst novels ever written and one of the best quiz nights.  16 teams of Trivianistas joined me this evening in the rainy Pittsburgh evening (did you know we have more average rainfall than Seattle?!) and they were each ready to hang the competition out to dry.

This week, we learned that Kenan and Kel are not the same as Key and Peele (doh!); Betwitched is not I Dream of Jeanie (though in one episode, Nelson and Healey break into a house and it *is* the set of the Betwitched home); and that the Churchill Downs is most definitely not the site of a famous horse race--in Ohio.

In the end, our top 4 teams went back and forth for much of the night, but January Blah came out on top, smoking Thunder Sharks by a good 4 points and Blue Team by 8.

Wrong answer of the game:

One team couldn't come up with "girl bands" for the connection between the answers in R5, but they did give us a nice call-back to last week's connection:  cryptocurrency.  Way to remember!!!

I tried some of Aslin's food this week (cheese curds and a bite of a smashburger) and can confirm, the food is delicious! 

See you next week friends.  Same bat time, same bat bar!
