QUIZ RECAP

In the red corner...two returning teams determined to win it all...it's Atari Kobayashi and the Grand Poobahs!!!

In the blue corner...two newcomers who quickly invested themselves in the unexpected night of trivia they found themselves in...Team J and the Three Amigos!!!

The first few rounds were neck and neck with a couple essential freebies thrown in about football since we were surrounded by TVs with sports on them. But it quickly got serious after the Grand Poobahs edged out the competition by figuring out Peter Pan in the 6-point round. Sadly, Team J, you will always remember this as the day you almost got six points...by guessing Jack Sparrow.

Nearly everyone knew their prepositional literature phrases (except for From A Buick 8...thank you, Stephen King!), but it was the Carolinas from Round 5 and the LEGO video game franchises from Round 7 that made everyone hit a brick wall (ha).

This caused Atari Kobayashi and the Grand Poobahs to enter into a tiebreaker, thanks to Atari's registration bonus. With Price is Right rules in effect, the Grand Poobahs were closer with a guess of 8,100 seconds in The Godfather so they won for a second week in a row! Congratulations, gentlemen! But you just made a very dangerous enemy in Atari Kobayashi...

Special shoutouts to the third of the Three Amigos, who admittedly didn't have much to contribute in the way of answers but still had a good time! And also to Team J for initially turning down the opportunity to play but decided to jump in after they figured out they knew all the answers to Round 1 (and they pretty much did!).

Thanks, all, and I'll see you next week!
