- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
The pitter patter of rain sprinkled over the valley, and little precious pineapples sprouted on the hill, ready to compete for Trivial Glory.
9 teams braved the weather to grasp at prizes tonight, but as always, there could be only three on the podium.
There's Always next week, Hocus Potus, and Running with Caesars turned out strong with successful round 1 double downs, but they met their challenge in round 3 when two-thirds of the teams were able to score big. Round 4 mixed up the places with some powerhouses shedding points to be picked up by trailing threats. The Guess who round saw many wrong guesses, but the south's favourite son still brought points to the wary. Round 7 was a humdinger that left many teams scratching their heads, leaving only "Hocus Potus" able to fill in 10 correct answers and successfully double-down. It wasn't quite enough, though, as they fell 5 points shy of 3rd place. Top spots went to "There's always next week", "Tequila Mockingbirds", and "Running with Caesar's" in ascending order.

It was another thrilling week with good tunes, great drinks, and voracious trivia goers. A few newcomers to King Trivia and Pineapple Hill aimed to challenge our weekly regulars, a not insurmountable goal, but it was a struggle in which no quarter was given. Round one started off with a bang as four teams successfully double down. By around three, the spread was beginning to move with clear leaders pulling ahead- but in round five "Olympic Athletes from Russia" and "Gordon Ramsay's Bitches" each doubled-down and threw a wrench into the designs of "Tequila Mockingbirds" forcing the resident leaders of the pack to get serious and buckle down. "The Kids Table" looked poised to make a come back with a successful double down, but could not make up enough ground in the face of multiple competitors with successful double downs in rounds 5 and 6. Securing in where the points were laying no team attempted to double down in the final round, but everyone scored relatively high for a flashy finish. "Gordon Ramsay's Bitches", absolutely new to King Trivia, managed to cinch third place behind "Jiggers with Attitude", and "Tequila Mockingbirds" who sealed their destiny with 94 points, 14 points away from any challenger.
