QUIZ RECAP

Quizmaster Christy is back! Many of our regular teams were out of town for the holidays, but new teams decided to join the few regulars that were there, with a total of 13 teams and 61 players, including one playing from home on team "Cryin' Bryan" due to covid restrictions. We started out the game with Fully Torqued in the lead and staying full steam ahead for the night, with team Losers proudly taking last. In Round 2, we learned that some of us need to watch more Toy Story, but meanwhile those teams entertained us with some creative names for Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear, including strawberry, fuzzy, Ted, and the Charmin Bear. In Round 3, we learned how very different Rumspringa is from Missionary Work. For the Round 4 name, we dropped it like it's hot, with 3 teams answering correctly at the 10 point level, and another 4 at 8 points, and the rest learned The Hard Way with a -1. Shout out to the teams that got it for 10 points: V, Crypto Holders, and The Young Subs (who had their own pup to help them). Fully Torqued had been leading the pack, but thanks to the 10 points, Crypto Holders finally caught up and tied them in 1st. They, along with Will Teach 4 Pizza, and Oduels Rule had been jostling for the rest of the podium to this point. In Round 5, a lot of teams thought they found the connection, but then learned there isn't a color called Japan, while 3 teams did find the connection from sea to sea. Round 6 made quite a few teams 'Appy with successful Double-or-Nothings, shaking up the scoreboard, but Fully Torqued managed to eek back to the top. Then, the moment our parents told us would never come, came: We found that playing video games and watching Nascar *could* help us succeed in life! ...or at least in Round 7. Wario cut off a number of teams from glory, and Nascar drivers left some teams in the dust. And a scoreboard shake-up so great the crowd all cheered: After 6 rounds on the throne, Fully Torqued got knocked to 2nd place, with Crypto Holders sneaking into 1st! And Bricked Up On A Thursday stole 3rd from all the teams that had been closing in on it all night. What an upset! Meanwhile, team Losers found they were not, in fact, Losers, as Cryin' Bryan cried a little bit harder in last place. Team Poopoos took home the prize for Best Team Name for making us all giggle all night. Happy New Years everyone! We'll see you in 2022 - every Thursday, 9pm. Come hungry and ready to play!
