AJ took and Devin did a little switcheroo this week, which means The Geek On Fleek was back this week as Quizmaster at Fatte Albert's Pizza CO. this week.
The Lumber-sexual, occasionally Menstrual,
Charismatic, Asthmatic,
King of the Quiz, The Best in the Biz,
Narcissistic, Optomistic,
Geek (pause for dab) On Fleek, had awesome time seeing some new and old faces this week, and was excited once again to bust out some of his favorite catchphrases.
AJ, aka The Master of The Recap will be back next week (probably, I'm not a psychic.)
Double or Nothing can make or break you in this game we call, KING TRIVIA!!!
It may have only been 6 teams, but it was a packed house at Fatte Alberts in Hanford.
What's left of the Avengers went for double or nothing in Round #2 which gave them the early lead. Then again in round #5 which secured them the 1st Place win. The Schultilanos came in with a late start, but that is never enough to keep them from scoring big and coming in 2nd Place. Last weeks winners, A Drinking Team with a Trivia Problem held their own and finished 3rd Place. A special shout out to a new team Pretendables, whose excitement and enthusiasm was just as amazing as their game play. I expect great things and killer competition from them in the future.
This Weeks Bonus Round was called "Make a run for the Border". Our teams were given 60 seconds to write down as many current menu items as they could think of from the Taco Bell Menu. In the end, it was the newcomers, Pretendables who named 17 items and won the free Pitcher of Beer and a $10 Taco Bell gift card.
It was defiantly a fun night for all.
This Jalapeno was off his game
Last night we had seven teams show up to battle it out for
Round #1: Hoot n Hollar came out hard by putting faith in their answer of question 4 as "Inferno". Unfortunately, they learned the hard way what "Double or Nothing truly means. What's Left of the Avengers and A Drinking Team with a Trivia Problem played it safe and it paid off for them as they tied for first place.
Round #2: What's Left of the Avengers and A Drinking Team with a Trivia Problem knew their Pixel art characters and both teams were successful with a double and continued to be tied for first place. Most of the other teams managed to only get 7 out of 8 correct and thought (Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama) was (Mr. Crabs from Sponge Bob).
Round #3: A Drinking Team with a Trivia Problem got all six answers right but did go for double since one was a guess, but that still gave them a 1-point lead and ending the tie with What's Left of the Avengers. Newcomers Groove Guys and Clueless got 5 out of 6 questions right as they seemed to get into their groove.
Round #4: Groove Guys guessed the answer was Jennifer Lawrence on the 8-point clue only to find out they were wrong. A Drinking Team with a Trivia Problem had a "Frozen" fan on their team who figured out the answer was Elsa on the 6-point clue. The rest of the teams figured it out by the 4-point clue. Like me, most of the teams were not fans of Frozen.
Round #5: Four teams got 8 out of 10 questions right, but it was only Clueless and Groove Guys who knew that Marvin Gaye was the King of Soul. "We believe in Harvey Dent" ..., but one team who shall remain nameless, showed their age as they thought Batman villain "Two-Face's" real name was Billy D. Williams. Talk about a 1989 Batman throwback.
Round #6: Out of nowhere, Clueless was the only team to get all 10 answers correct and they even went for the double earning them applause from the other teams.
Round #7: NFL and oh, how I scored an "F" for this round. All of the teams went for double or nothing and in a sense so did I. Thanks to a scoring error by everyone's favorite Jalapeno, we saw all teams successful with 20 points. That is until, I realized I read the answers wrong "Ugh". In the end, A Drinking Team with a Trivia Problem, What's Left of the Avengers, War Moose and Hoot n Hollar managed to get the successful double for the round.
When the dust cleared, A Drinking Team with a Trivia Problem took 1st Place. What's Left of the Avengers came in 2nd Place and War Moose finished in 3rd Place.
The Bonus Round was called "Mix and Match", Where I played a mix of 2 songs and the first team to correctly identify both the band and song tittle won. The Queens went for it, but only managed to get one of the songs correct. In the end, it was Groove Guys who had the extensive music background to hear Journey: Faithfully and The Doors: L.A. Woman were mixed together.
Groove Guys (Pictured with yours truly) showed me lots of love after the game since I was feeling down about my scoring error. Thanks guys, for the Jalapeno love.
We are here each and every week, errors or not, we laugh and always have a blast.
