QUIZ RECAP

It was a balmy night in West Hollywood as over 30 teams met over frosty beers to compete for literally Dozens of Dollars in prizes!

Teams frantically tried to recall the names of source material for the movies they watched to write their book reports, they laughed and cried over their encyclopedic knowledge of video game titles, and marveled at their ability to guess the correct presidential decades.

It was a delightful night for many, but there are always prizes to give out, and the delight for these teams must have been overwhelming for Third, Second, and First place receive $25, $50, and $75 gift cards to Barney's Beanery!

Tonight in Third Place, "Lick, Lick, Lick My Balls", in Second, "I Blame Obama, and in First place, "Hail, Hydra!" who also earn a gold star for the best punctuation in a team name.

They're playing basketball with educated dragons and snakes at Glacier National Park!

Congrats are in order, Quizlamic State has made it back to the top this week, and Hail Hydra not only took third place but they also won the first raffle of the evening!

Now if you'll excuse me, my Australian Bearded Dragon needs to be taken out for a quick flight around the block.

Say hi to Sean Connery for me!

QUIZ RECAP

The night was hot and so were the beans. 25 teams stayed til the end tonight braving the West Hollywood heat for the chance to win hundreds of dollars in prizes and bragging rights.

The game started off savagely with 18 groups successfully doubling down. Only two of them would repeat the feat in round two, and round three saw a slew of zeros. It could make even the most hardened quizmaster shed a tear.

Not enough kids were angsty in the 90s to get Claire Danes right off the bat, "Definitely cheating" and "Mr. Holland's O-Face" had reviewed their own so-called lives and succeeded in getting 10 points; over half the teams declined to answer at all, not wanting to risk a negative point with an incorrect answer.

After an epic Rochambeau tournament, first place got a pitcher of beer, second-place got an appetizer of their chocie, and third place got a wonderful soccer scarf provided by Peroni Pilsner thanks to our local rep Vince! In round five, while some teams dove deeper into their beers, a few unlikely heroes grasped for glory and begin doubling down with the fury so far not seen in these parts since the great Quizassacre of 1879. Round 4 ended up with 6 successful double downs, but the zeroes returned in round six.

Round seven saw a few forlorn hopes, but only one was able to overcome the clear front-runners of the game: With three successful double downs in a row, "Harley and Ivy" launched from obscurity to the top of the podium securing a $75 giftcard and bragging rights... At least until next week.
