QUIZ RECAP

If may not have been Friends night, but it was a night of friends including an unexpected reunion for me and a friend on the Voodoo Teddy Bears!

It ended up being the night of the great Team Hemorrhage since we started with 11 teams, a new record, until the night whittled it down to six teams that made it through the entire night. But as I reminded them, that just means better odds for everyone that stayed: a good incentive!

We learned many things tonight, chief among them to wait for later clues in the Guess Who? round, particularly since many teams jumped the gun and guessed Sarah Michelle Gellar due to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer red herring...the movie came first, people, then the TV show!

The Voodoo Teddy Bears learned that they should've Doubled on a few rounds since they missed out on a lot more points!

And we all learned that the Freedom of Petition is part of our unalienable rights since most teams got the first four First Amendment rights, but no one knew this final one.

Once the smoke cleared, we were left with our Top 3 for the night: OBJ to Cleveland took home the top prize after edging out the competition with their Double or Nothing after identifying religious origins; Team Cool Kids who chose not to risk it with religion and ended up losing out; and Voodoo Teddy Bears, who were surprised after thinking that tonight was Friends night...but they ended up having a great time anyway!

Special shout outs to:
- If You Can Hear My Voice, Clap Once since every time I read out their name, more and more people participated until everyone was in on it at the end...even people who weren't playing!
- Robko because, despite not sticking around until the end, we essentially had a celebrity player with this team! In a true Slumdog Millionaire moment, one of their team members was a judge who scored the gymnastics routine for Ms. Katelyn Ohashi at UCLA, which made that question a cinch for her.

Thanks for playing, everyone! See you all next week!
