While the Oscars played silently on the Barnacles TVs, our first successful Double or Nothing attempt came from #metoo... Oh, congrats Kobe! They would later go on to Double again in Round 3. And just when we all thought #metoo... were too far ahead to catch, Oreos Double Stuffed completed their own successful Double up in Round 6, bringing them into a tight race for the lead!
The Never Been Tested's had started off strong but then slowly lost their edge. And unfortunately we lost All My Friends Are Dead (oh, the irony!) in the middle of the game. The steadiest team of the night was Phone A Friend, consistently putting points on the board and landing them in a 3rd place slot!
Back to our top two teams: in an unexpected twist, #metoo... struggled in the final round and after having their original pen stolen they were NOT able to capitalize on the 2-point bonus for returned pens. Meanwhile, Oreos had a solid final round AND returned their pen for a 2-point bonus...... bringing us into a TIE BREAKER ROUND!
It came down to one number, a random date, and a best guess... But #metoo... Oh, Congrats Kobe! prevailed to take home the win!
Looks like it was a great night for Kobe.
Thanks to all the players who made it out, and a big thanks to the Barnacles staff for talking the po-po out of giving this Quizmaster a parking ticket! See you next week!

Before the game even started, Bears made a bold move in breaking away from his group in an attempt to prove his solo worth, leaving his friends with no choice but to retaliate - dubbing themselves Suck It Spangle - a command directed at their friend turned foe.
This drama must have been the fuel each team needed, as both shot out of the gate like bats out of hell, doubling their points in Round 1!
Small advances were made by all teams in Rounds 2 and 3. Round 4's "Guess Who?" was a struggle, with only a couple teams trusting their patience and waiting for the clue that would lead them to points.
In Round 6, Servus (a mathematician duo from Germany!) stepped up to secure their place as a top contender, while Get 'Er Dirty saw a decline in both points & performance - but NEVER lacking in spirit & good looks! 😉
Bears and Suck It Spangle remained in a tight race until SIS took a risk to Double up points in Round 6 - a maneuver that would pay off, giving them a choke hold on the title heading into the final round.
Congrats to all of our winners, thank you to the Barnacles staff, and bless the person who returned Quizmaster Lauren's phone when she lost it in the bar. You're all heroes in my book, see you next week!

We had a pretty conservative night as only 3 doubles were attempted throughout the game. My theory is that is because the failed double in round 1 scared everyone.
No Alibi, a one man team, was the 1st to correctly guess the answer in the Guess Who round & he continued sailing along, finishing in 3rd.
Speak Up & Dribble, another one man team, was the team with a failed double in round 1, but he made up for it & made the game interesting by jumping into 1st in round 6 with a successful double. Unfortunately, he was not as successful in round 7, finishing in 2nd.
When We Lose We Still Boose, who had a huge lead until round 6, took a big gamble doubling in round 7, but luckily all their answers were correct & they take the prize becoming the champions of the night!
