Alright, the minute they showed the "Previously on..." I already knew who killed Andrea. Kind of a dead giveaway, eh? No pun intended. Why show us this minor character if he wasn't going to come back in some big way - especially when the mortician was too obvious (ditto for stepdad) and Duane Reade had been arrested and placed in prison for an entirely different crime. I never thought Nas would have actually been the one to kill her - but I still wonder where he was when the actual murder was taking place. Did he stumble downstairs and pass out at the kitchen counter while the killer crept inside and sliced and diced? Or did he purposefully leave Nas alive and knocked out so that he would be the most likely suspect? I don't know, man, crazy show. But Stone re-adopted the cat! That's all that really matters, right?
Okay, enough about "The Night Of" - special thanks to all of you for coming out and playing instead of staying in for the finale (or if you're smart like me you just watch it on HBO GO at the same time it airs on the East Coast - life hack). Tonight's game was almost as stressful as a murder verdict as several of the teams crept up on Crickets to try and overtake their near perfect game - while that didn't happen, Nickelback got awfully close (good thing they knew their monarchy reigns). Third place became an almost three way battle royale between three very intelligent teams but in the end, much like Nas' newfound heroin addiction, only one could win out over the rest - praise Jesus. Tune in next week when we try and figure out what Stone's eczema had to do with literally anything.

Sunday Trivia Night... Thanks to all the regulars who were all super nice as I covered this show!
6 teams played tonight and everyone put up a fight for those points. Benny Q started off the game with some unsuccessful doubling but they redeemed themselves towards the end of the night with their TMNT/Power Rangers knowledge. Nickelback to the Future played consistently strong throughout the night. In the end, Whatever Bro emerged victorious.
Until next time! Chris is back next week so go ahead and give him hell for never printing out color copies of the picture handout round. Muahaha (jk much love bruh)

My first time hosting at Barney's was a great one! A small but mighty group of teams battled it out for supremacy, with the lead changing throughout the game, until Secular Healing emerged victorious and won the quiz!
