QUIZ RECAP

We had ANOTHER full house at Collision tonight, including a team of first-timers who acquitted themselves well....and a tiebreaker for 2nd place!

Both 4-Way Stop and Trivia Trumps Debates converted successful double-or-nothing bids right out of the gate to lead by 6 points after Round 1; Tequila Is Not A Patronus, Trebek's Rejects, #momjeans and newcomers Blonde Bitches were high scorers in Round 2, identifying 6 of the 8 images and trimming the leaders' advantage to 5 points. #momjeans got all 6 right in the Shape Happens round; Tequila Is Not A Patronus did them one better by doubling, taking the lead by a point over 4-Way Stop and 5 over #momjeans. Tequila were again high scorers in the Guess Who round, correctly answering for 8 points (5 teams, including Just Us 2, answered correctly for 6 points while both Trebek's Rejects and Limoncello guessed Shirley Temple and took a -1, effectively knocking them out of the running for the night). But just when Tequila Is Not A Patronus seemed poised to rule the day, they went for a double in Round 5 and only got 9 right (the same fate befell Trebek's Rejects). To be fair, each team guessed "Last Train To Busan" (directed by Yeon Sang-ho) which did fit the theme. 4-Way Stop scored 9 of a possible 10 in that round to move back into the lead, 2 points in front of Trivia Trumps Debates and 5 in front of #momjeans. 4-Way Stop followed that with another9 in the (extremely challenging) handout round to pad their lead; #momjeans tallied 7 to move within a point of Trivia Trumps Debates. Round 7 proved to be the most challenging to date, as #momjeans were high scorers....with 3 out of 10. 4-Way Stop's 1 point gave them the honors on the night (and the 6-pak, to be conveniently divided among 6 players), but Trivia Trumps Debates' 2 points left them in a tie for 2nd with #momjeans and necessitated the rarely-used tiebreaker question (in this case the number of viewers of the Breaking Bad series finale in its first airing). Debates guessed 23 million, while #momjeans' guess of 6.8 million was far closer to the actual number 10.3 million, netting them 2nd place. Kudos to newbies Blonde Bitches for a respectable 5th place finish.

Looking forward to another great night next week....see you all then!
