Shootout at the Saloon

 

What better way to set the tempo for the night than a good old-fashioned Mexican standoff with a 5 way tie between T.M. (Tequila Mockingbirds), T.A.N.W. (Theres always next week), L.M. (Las Mamacitas), T.K.T. (The Kids Table), and D.J.U. (Don Jong Un). After round 2 T.M. came on top getting all the pictures that "POP," putting them ahead of the game leaving a tie between T.A.N.W. , T.K.T. , and R.W.C. (Running with Ceaser's) ; who made a comeback after being down by two to the 5 way standoff in the first round. Moving onto round 3, T.K.T rallied to tie the game back up with T.M. with 27 points a piece. and R.W.C continued to push on to grab the spot for third. They weren't done there because they came and they took advantage of T.M. slipping up in round 4. T.K.T. did get the "Guess Who" right but the reason they came up short was because it took them to long to get the answer. But T.M. would not lay down because by round 6 they reclaimed not only the first place spot but a free round of drinks to go with it when they won the Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament. As T.M. maintained the lead and closed out the night as our Kings and Queens of Trivia, R.M. secured the second spot, and L.M. came out of the shadows to take third place.

Congratulations to David and Cindy, newlyweds and "There's always next week"ers!

Five teams started off with successful double downs, leaving the remaining with a few sixes and fives lacking confidence.

Sharknado 3 and a mean, mean quizmaster were the bane of a few teams with unsuccessful double downs. No one, not one team, guessed the correct Sharknado. It's time for a re-watch of the whole series!

Round three was a little equalizing, with teams that were lagging behind, recovering ground. They gained steam and in round four narrowed the field further. Round five revealed another five successful double downs that began to push the leaders out ahead for the final approach. Eager to maintain good standings, few teams risked double down in rounds six or seven, and no team would do so successfully -but it was a nailbiter as point totals got closer and closer to each other.

It was those that did more Netflix than chill that reigned supreme in the end, however, with "Running with Caesars" in third place, "the Kids Table" in second, and "Tequila Mockingbird's" with 70 points and the lead.

Who's King of The Pineapple Quiz, on Van Nuys Street?

 

Pretend that was to the melody of the Spongebob Theme Song. What a night at the Pineapple Saloon, we had a packed house with a whopping 13 teams competiting to be crowned the King of Trivia. We had a tight running in the beginning with Tequila Mocking Bird, and Behind Barrs in the early rounds battling it out. October's Very Own was up there making a name for themselves as well until they gradually slipped towards round 5. We had a party tonight too with a big shoutout going to Carmelle, and her team, Happy Birthday Carmelle!!!! They might not have won tonight but when it came to the drinking round where they had the one named rockstar KATT who air shredded her way in the drinking round where the game was who could play the best air guitar. As the rounds closed Tequila Mocking Bird solidified first, Behind Barrs at second and third place going to Nasty Women.
