QUIZ RECAP
In the fight for the top prize of $40 in Recess Room goodies, it was Smart Team vs. Smart Team vs. Smart Team vs. Smart Team. There was no telling who was going to be the ultimate champion!
In one corner, we had the return of Three Men + One, who put a lot of faith in a Round 7 Hail Mary, only to be betrayed by Sweden. In another corner was Home Team, who graciously donated his third place winnings, and had to swallow his pride for being nerdy, but not SO nerdy that he was confident in all of Round 6's castles (just 9 out of 10).
In a third corner, we had The Implication, who kept tying with two other teams three rounds in a row, but couldn't quite break out into the lead. But to the relief of many, they earned their second place winnings fair and square -- by ONE lousy point! -- but fair and square nonetheless.
In the fourth corner was Thirsty Pretzels, who, after spending one round in third place, decided they were done screwing around -- THE GAME WAS ON. Though double downs were just out of their reach the entire game, they got free food for being the first team to correctly guess Las Vegas as our place of the week, as well as taking home the first place prize for [just barely] knowing more about pasta/Africa and castles than anyone else.
And as if I wasn't already having a phenomenal night with my favorite trivia teams, the Yankees had an embarrassing loss to the Astros, in an effort to once again enforce Quizmaster Rule #3. YUSSSS!
