Featured above are the two winners for tonight's game who make up team "Don't Worry Beyonce".  If you don't think this win is a big deal - it is.  Usually, Beyonce struggles to get past 20 points.  Especially if the questions have anything to do with current events.  Or geography.  Or history.  Or - well, you get the picture.  But they're committed.  And they try.  And that's all that matters, right?  Well, no.  Trying doesn't pay for your bill at the end of a long night of buffalo chicken sandwiches at Barney's.  But, alas, tonight we celebrate their win.  However, before we do that, there are two things you should know about these girls:

Adriana loves Friends and hasn't been able to make it through all of the seasons of Friday Night Lights.  If this were Salem, we would've burned her at the stake a long time ago based on those two facts alone.

Alanna thinks Barb was the best character in "Stranger Things". Barb.  The dead one.  Oh, is that all you remember about her too?  Good.  Because that was her one and only defining characteristic.  Barb sucks.

Congrats on your win, ladies!
