QUIZ RECAP
One of the nicest things about being a quizmaster is all the cool people you get to meet hosting shows. Tonight, we had several teams return from last week, one team (who assured me of their victory as they claimed their quiz booklet) returning after taking several weeks off, and a number of new teams, including Tres Bitches, who signed up at King Trivia tonight. They had only stopped in for some chicken and ended up staying for some trivia. Welcome, ladies!
Round 1, the General Knowledge round, kicked off the evening. Ten teams started the evening, and at the end of the round, Hot Ham Water had taken the early lead.
Round 2, the Picture Round, saw an eleventh team, Brew Crew, join in. Tonight's questions were about movies and television shows featuring actors or characters named Molly. This was kind of a toughie for both quizmaster and the teams, as only four teams were able to get five of the eight correct answers. Hot Ham Water maintained its slim lead over Anuses for Eyes.
Round 3, where all the questions or answers referenced a baby animal name, saw perfect scores from a couple of teams. At the end of the round, Hot Ham Water still held the lead but saw an additional challenge from Tequila Mockingbird.
Round 4, the Guess Who round, perplexed a number of teams. No team attempted the ten-point clue, while two teams were able to successfully guess the answer at the eight-point clue. Hot Ham Water still maintained their lead, but Anuses for Eyes was able to overtake Tequila Mockingbird to reclaim second place.
Round 5, where we found the connection between nine answers, saw our only successful Double or Nothing of the night, which Anuses for Eyes used to take a commanding lead over the other teams.
Round 6, matching the documents to their creators or authors, really threw several teams for a loop. Expected answers like Alexander Hamilton and John Grisham were nowhere to be found, as teams struggled to figure out who really did write The Federalist Papers or The Pelican Brief. With only one round remaining, Anuses for Eyes maintained their double-digit lead.
Your quizmaster is glad he wasn't playing Round 7 tonight because he does not follow college football and maybe would have gotten two of the answers correct. But one team, Rose Between Thorns, did get all ten correct, but it wouldn't be enough to catch Anuses for Eyes, who would end up taking the title this week after placing second last week.
Congratulations and thank yous to all the teams who played this evening. I hope to see all of you next Thursday night.
