QUIZ RECAP

No lead is safe when it comes to trivia! At least, not tonight in what turned out to be a wild game for first place. The DONNERPARTY5 had an early double or nothing lead in the game with the first round and kept a significant lead for most of the game.

Perhaps they thought they were safe and first place would come easy to them tonight. Maybe they got complacent. Who knows? But The Evil Tampire is not the type of team to give up, apparently. They fought back and scored a big double or nothing netting them 20 points and tying for the lead late in the game. Then, both teams hit on the next double or nothing in the 6th round to remain tied.

This lead made it virtually impossible for anyone else to catch them. Plant Parenthood played a valiant game but got tripped up in a couple of rounds. Not Last Place accomplished their main goal of not being in last place. And Schutt Dynasty was short handed with only two players on their team and unfortunally neither one of the PhDs was in pop culture where they struggled the most.

But the game came down to the final round with our top two teams tied at 58 points apiece.  They each did their best to name the top circulated newpapers in the U.S. but The Evil Tampire, who made an amazing comeback, overthought the last round by thinking about how old people tend to buy papers and thus left out the crucial Minneapolis Star Tribune that could've sent them to the tie breaker. 

The DONNERPARTY5 lost their cushiony lead but came up with one more answer in the final round to retake the lead and win the game! It was an eventful night and an impressive performance so we'll have to see what happens next week!
