There was tough competition tonight...and not between the Dodgers and Red Sox, but between me and the first game of the World Series!
What started out as a fairly empty night at Network exploded into one of our biggest games yet with a total of seven teams all fighting for some Ducks tickets! Over the course of seven grueling rounds battling through board games and secret X-Men, Wolfgang Puck and TV couples, we all experienced collective PTSD flashbacks to learning the state capitols in grade school for the final round...and all got served a helpful reminder that St. Louis is, in fact, not the capitol of Missouri.
Through all of the headscratchers tonight, though, Our Drinking Team Has a Trivia Problem reigned supreme by taking an early risk in our board game round: since they didn't have to scrabble for a clue, they claimed a Double or Nothing, saying sorry, not sorry, to the other teams in what they all must have thought was a trivial pursuit. They kept that lead to win the night and the tix!
New teams Brew Crew and Here for Beer rounded out our top 3 and surprised themselves by finding some fun outside of the Dodger game as I slowly won them over with my charming good looks...and promise of prizes.
Great job tonight, everybody! And see you all next week! (*crosses fingers that the World Series doesn't make it to Week 7...)
Shout out to Team Google for some great answers in the state capitol round: Joe Montana, Montana; Ash Tray, North Dakota; and Wonder Falls, Virginia were all so close...
