QUIZ RECAP

The VIBE:

Soooo many people came out tonight. Most of them didn't know we were even having trivia...but it only took a few key phrases like "You can win BIG BIG prizes! But not really" to get them on board. We started with 6 teams, then 2 more joined, then 1 more joined....so at one point we had "two...four...niner...five, six seven...
I can't hear you, you're trailing off and did I hear a niner in there? Were you calling from a walkie-talkie?"

The GAME:

Round 1 was a nice warm-up with Round 2 / Pictures being a much stronger point total overall.

Round 3 was all about movie curses and wishes. But the only "cursing" came from the tables as only two teams managed to break past 5 points.

Three teams decided that they wanted to go for the 10 points in a rather difficult Round 4 / Guess Where?....but none of them succeeded. My favorite part of that round was when 2 Dudes joined us and then turned in the wrong answer....so I was forced with writing -1 in their total. Welcome aboard! They left shortly afterwards. ?Adios!

Round 5 / Find the Connection was a solid round overall....even though only the BoozeCats actually deciphered the connection!

I threw together a little Spielberg/Lucas trivia for The Drinking Round and in a moment of tenderness - our last place team ended up taking home the alcohol. Shout out to GCM!

Everyone HATED Round 6. (Oh yeah. And I was supposed to report that back to team Question Makers). Only one team scored more than 4 points....on a 20 point opportunity! The moral: All hip-hop songs by DJ Khaled are interchangeable.

One of the players from Daniellaellaella was from El Salvador...so when Round 7 needed all 8 countries that started with the letter "E"....you could practically accuse them of cheating. I didn't. Instead, I showered them with 7 points.

The RESULTS:

GCM came late, drank their wine, and left with 18 points.

The Cook & The Look were a cute couple that racked up 23 points.

They played. They left. They came back. So odd. But Daniellaellaella held out for 27 points.

One of my favorite regulars (and now registered!), Gangrene Gang, left without saying goodbye to me. I'll expect to hear their apology next week. In the meantime, here is 28 points for them.

In 4th place was 3rd Place (I know, right?). But they were super nice. Solid work - 34 points.

And in 3rd place...our returning champions from last week......BoozeCats with 41 points.

And in the Lead (who were NEVER "in the lead") took home the bronze with a razimitastic 48 points.

But nobody...I mean nobody....could catch the Mother Pheasant Plucking Mother Phesants (and yes I plucked it up once on the mic). They took the lead in Round 3 and held on strong 'til the end with 52 points. Bravo!!!!

That's all for now. Don't forget AVENGERS this weekend and NINTENDO next! Sign-up-up-up-and-away! (I've been watching way too many superhero movies lately).
