QUIZ RECAP
A lot of awesome and fun new teams joined in the fray at Slater's 50/50 this week! They had a tough night against our regulars, but when the dust cleared, there were smiles all around and a lot of people saying they were glad they tried trivia out, which is the highest of compliments if I do say so myself.
But you're here to read about the night, so here we go! Simply put, the Baby Cheeses dominated the night. They started out with two Double or Nothings and kept their lead throughout every round. Mike Tyson's Speech School kept them on their toes towards the end of the night, but it wasn't enough and the aforementioned team squeaked out a win. Round out our Top 3 was returning team, The Mutants Over At Table 9.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, we had some valiant attempts by the Bombay Ducks, who guessed Bob Dole three times in Round 2...none of which were right. Vitamin Sea 3 gave me a list of names that sounded like they belonged to "old, white men" including: Jeffrey Beane, Calvin Klein, James Heffield, and George Stephanopolis.
Two quick lessons from the night: everyone needs to learn how to spell "Louvre" and the music scene is still alive with the classics! The Rolling Stones and Journey still got it going on to make it into the Top 12 tours of 2018, in a list that Cardi B would definitely not say was "okurrr".
We also got to try out Survey Slam tonight, which was a blast! The reading out of the answers saw some pretty loud cheers from people who were able to navigate our newest Family Feud-style game and guess the number one answers. But after rejecting broccoli and fighting off 100 duck-sized horses, the only team with a perfect score...was the Baby Cheeses! See, I wasn't lying when I said they dominated tonight! They swept the board and went home with a good number of prizes!
Thanks for coming tonight, everybody! Big shout out to Tough Actin' Tinactin who may have found their newest addiction in trivia nights! See you all next time!
