We had a small gathering, but a, nonetheless, exciting game tonight!
Party of 1 + 3 had a decent start & even doubled in the 3rd round! They then started their 2nd half with a successful double that served as a recovery from the -1 in round 4. They glide along into a tie at the end with Clever Girl, but then win the tiebreaker & finish in 3rd, taking the bronze!
Bruce Jennertalia started the game off with a bang with a successful double, but then immediately fall victim to the infamous "Julia Child" answer & put "Julia Childs", which made them fail on the double. However, it simply bounces off of them with a superb successful double recovery in round 3, followed by the only perfect score in round 4, & then ANOTHER successful double in round 5. They finish the game with flying colors, but still fall short of 1st, taking the silver!
Fear of Flying have an amazing 1st half with 2 doubles in a row in rounds 2 & 3. They then throw in another successful double in round 5 for good measure. By this time, their lead was too great & they sailed into 1st, taking the gold & becoming the champions of the night!

We had an interesting one tonight with a great mix of difficult & easier rounds. Some well placed successful doubles made all the difference for our winners as they navigated their way through this well balanced game.
Veggie Scrambles played fairly conservative in a good way tonight as they knew when to not take chances. Their only perfect round was in round 3 when they successfully doubled which threw them into the group of front runners where they would stay, staying in pace with two 9 point rounds in 5 & 6. They glide into 3rd, taking the bronze!
Fear of Flying were playing the way they usually do, skillfully & calmly until they hit a bump in the road with a -1 in round 4. It didn't faze them as they made a brilliant recovery with a perfect round & a successful double, which had them tied at 2nd. They win the duel with the highest score in the last round & take the silver!
Bruce Jennertalia started the game off with a double & that was a great indication of how they were going to play tonight as they doubled nearly every other round. To top that off, they get the full 10 points in round 4 & have a perfect round in round 6, where there was no need to double because they were already miles ahead of the competition. They stroll past the finish line in 1st, take the gold, & are now the 3 week reigning champs!

QUIZ RECAP
What a game we had tonight! Doubles abounded as we had some of the highest scores I've ever seen & there were a ton of shakeups including a HUGE one in the last round! Let's get into it!
The Number of Homeless Dudes Sean Has Blown Is... had an exceptional start with 2 successful doubles in a row. They throw in a 3rd double in round 3 for good measure & end the game with a excellent score of 77, which would be enough to win most games, but not tonight as there were 2 other teams that had their best performances to date! The Number of Homeless Dudes Sean Has Blown Is... finish in 3rd, taking the bronze!
Fear of Flying doubled in exactly the same rounds that The Number of Homeless Dudes Sean Has Blown Is..., the only difference is that they only missed one question the only game, making this their best game that I've ever witnessed! Unfortunately for them, they were not confident enough in their answers & even though they got perfect scores in rounds 6 & 7, they lost the lead in the last round because another team decided it was chance taking time. Fear of Flying finish in 2nd with a magnificent score of 86, taking the silver!
Bruce Jennertalia started the game off with a perfect round & this would be the last perfect round that they didn't double as they showed us a textbook example of aggressive play for the rest of the game! Their 2 doubles in a row in rounds 2 & 3 insured that they stayed in the front of the pack & they continued to stay there with a double in round 5. However, it would be the last 2 rounds that would prove to be the most crucial as they wisely don't double in round 6 as they miss 3 questions & then give in to their thirst for glory with an extremely aggressive double in the last round & they hit the jackpot with this gamble with the highest score I've ever seen, 94!!! They take the W, get the gold, & are now the 2 week reigning champs!
