It was quite the week at Eastlake Bar for trivia! We had so much happen, with a tough fight for second place, a dominating performance for first, and some double or nothing connection failures.
Team The Sassy Squatches (they worked really hard on this name) and the Harbor Zoo had trouble scoring on their double or nothings throughout the night which led to their low point totals. However, oddly enough in rounds 5 and 6 they both missed the same exact question by giving the same exact wrong answer to lose the double or nothing! Weird connection, happenstance, or mysterious trivia ghosts haunting these teams? We may never know.
Team Kale made a great comback on the night by scoring 20 points in the Find the Connection round which propped them into 2nd place and they were able to hold onto that spot for the rest of the night.
The other story is the domination by Donner Party of 5 (still with more than 5 people on the team. What are they up to?). This team scored multiple double or nothings to take the top spot early and then just built their lead from there. What about the other teams' morale? Look, there are no friends in the trivia game. Well, there are or otherwise you don't have a team and it's a friendly game but still, someone has to win.
We'll see what happens next week and if these teams come back to exact revenge on Donner Party of 5. Team Santa's Sack may bring a lump of coal even (at least let's hope that's what they bring). Come on out for the fun!
