After overcoming a 1 point deficit in the first round, Flaming Toxic Trivia Monkeys lead until round 5. The battle for second was close through round 5 when Only Up From Here double or nothinged their way to a 6 point lead over The Flaming Toxic Trivia Monkeys. The Monkeys pulled away in round 6 with a double or nothing of their own and held on through round 7. We learned that Pat Sajak traveled to the future to watch the 1987 film "Good Morning, Vietnam" to get inspired for his catch phrase. When Ottawa lost the Senators turns out they lost their Stanley Cup wins too. Hippos are full of the opportunity for pun names, not the correct answers but fun all the same.

It was a tight match through round 4 with 5 teams within 5 points of each other. With a round five double or nothing Only Up From Here jumped ahead, but with a round 6 double or nothing Alchoholocaust pulled ahead and held on for the narrow three point win. What did we learn last night? The Hot Corner in baseball is not baseball, and when you read that as the answer people don't like it. Aerosmith was not one of the famous Smiths in the picture round. When your friends are too loud to hear the questions trivia slows down a lot.

Tough questions this week, despite a double or nothing in the first round The Flaming Toxic Trivia Monkeys only had a 4 point lead going into the 6th round. The Downtowners and Only Up From Here were within striking distance from the lead until a 6th round double or nothing put The Flaming Toxic Trivia Monkeys out of reach. The Downtowners held off Only Up From Here for second place. What did we learn on Wednesday night? Michael learned there is a singer named Josh Groban who is a big deal, even though he only recognized him as an actor. We had my favorite answer so far Monday, also accept Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. That a question about "Save Tonight" by Eagle Eye Cherry, pulled that ear worm back into our consciousness.
