QUIZ RECAP

23 teams and 130 players came out for some hot pizza and trivia on a cold Thursday night! You can tell we started with a hungry crowd from the number of food-based team names. Last week's winners, Bricked Up On a Thursday, came in force to defend their title, bringing enough reinforcements to take up half the dining room, and even had a spin-off team! But would it be enough? In Round 1, our early leaders were team Snax and team Auto fill. We sunk our fangs into Round 2, and those that didn't know about Lost Boys got a side lesson that it was filmed right here in town! Several teams used the questions they didn't know to give their best wrong answers and made us all giggle, with team Hot Dog taking the lead on that. Team Auto fill took the lead and held it for the next few rounds, with Snax, Bricked Up, and Team 10 on their heels in various orders each round. In Round 3, we had 21 teams submit and 18 different spellings of Pete Buttigieg! A few teams thought Pete Davidson was called Big Balls Pete and continued to put him in as an answer for questions in other rounds. In Round 4, all but 2 teams that guessed knew this cool cat, with a shout out to Bricked Up on a Thursday as the only team for giving the correct answer at the 10 point level! In Round 5, we learned that the White House Egg Roll is not politicians eating Chinese food, and went over some Looney Toons eating habits - Bugs Bunny *is* a rabbit so wouldn't be eating rabbits, and Wile E. Coyote just wants to eat a road runner, which wasn't on the long list of food. Team Snax grabbed the lead, and Fully Torqued tied Auto fill for 2nd. In Round 6, it turns out that the two off-screen characters we most remembered were The Banker and Ugly Naked Guy. Team Snax held the lead as we went into our final round, and it all came down to fruit. Pineapple once again was the fruit that got away, leading several teams away from victory. In the end, team Snax took home the stein with 77 points, followed by Team 10 with 68, and we had our first ever tie breaker to determine 3rd place! Fully Torqued guessed the closest, edging our early lead Auto fill just off the podium. Meanwhile, 6 other teams guessed for fun, and shout-out to team Blind, Deaf, and Suspiciously Thicc who were just 5 feet off from the answer! We had a crowd decision for Best Team Name between team Timothée Crème Brûlée and team A Shout-out to Our Sponsor This Evening, 'Ligma', with the sponsor taking the win.
