Teams scored high in round one on this rainy day, but only the brewsual suspects could pull the confidence required for a double. Round 2 was a bit all over the place as teams struggled with their knowledge of architecture, but round 3 saw eight double-downs, solidifying the tiers for the remainder of the game. Dave Bautista eluded teams for the first two clues of round 4, supplying a Smackdown! of negative points before the late-guessers came in FOURce (that's punny, because most of them scored on the four point clue. Laugh, darn you, LAUGH! okay, at least a chuckle, maybe a chortle?) Choice double-downs in the final three rounds ensured no one would catch the top three for the remainder of the game, although they did shake up their own order a little bit.

What a rip roarin time at Barney's! There were drink specials, there was laughter, there was an incredibly charming and handsome quizmaster! but there was only one successful double down in round 1, with 26 teams that was a bit of a shock, but teams wanted to play smart this week, and maybe that was the right choice. Round 2 fared evern more conservative, but with a higher score rate, I think they're learning. Next week they might even know how to open doors...
Round 3 had a bit more boldness and a wide point spread with 4 teams doubling and only a few 5 and 6 pointers, the rest hovered in the shallows, a bit out of their element.
The 4th round scored pretty high, and teams appeared to either know who we were talking about, or have absolutely no clue (even though we gave them five). Round 5 was the time to turn it around as most teams scored eight or higher, and three were able to jump up the ladder with successful doubles. Round 6 separated a group of leaders from the pack with some well-placed perfect scores and doubles, but the final round hit hard, with few teams being able to score more than five points, leaving "Hulu Streams Live Sports" in the lead, sending "Krafts Happy Endings" and "Falafel kings" to a tiebreaker that devastatingly decided who would win double the goods.

What a night! Points domination, Epic Successes, Tragic Failures!
Right out the gate teams attacked their questions with fury, but the onslaught was not strong enough for some, and few were able to score high for the first 3 rounds.
By the fourth round, teams were trying to colour coordinate the vintage aesthetic of these clues, but almost all were able to hold out long enough to score something with Wes Anderson's unique biography.
There were a lot of high scores for the fifth round, with teams able to find the connection and use it to decipher those missing clues. Only a few teams were able to get the gumption to double, and not all successfully.
The Sixth round happened quickly, as teams felt the pressure mounting. What was left for the teams was recalling the last ten headliners of the superbowl halftime show, and they did so with a rather impressive memory!
