Wow! Welcome to Survey Slam, whole new world for me.

The Famous was pretty chill tonight, which gave Cindy Winners plenty of room to play and reign. They got challenged by newcomers Team Valley 2/3rds of the way through who almost gave them hell...until they bet it all in the final round and lost. Swing and a miss babes.

Glad the teams had fun though! Give some love to your regular host next week.

The Electric City was all ready to play this week and reclaim their title!

We also welcomed new teams Prancer Dancer and The Great Space Coaster.

The Great Space Coaster was super nice and totally gave great feedback on your Survey Czar's energy -- even when he had to leave three rounds early, he gave another pair at the bar his team's points to inherit just so they would benefit from the joy of Survey Slamming!

Also huge thanks to Swan for that amazingly fruity pineapple ginger beer drink. It was perfect.

SURVEY SLAM RECAP

We had three teams come out especially to play Survey Slam, including defending champion from last week Darkwing Duck -- and they were joined by five different competitors who all wanted to get in on the fun, too!

We had a crazy night on the scoreboard, as Round 2 yielded two ties between two teams at both 6 and 8 points apiece.

Then, Round 4 with the wagering brought us to a three-way tie between The Yinzers, Darkwing Duck, and Zin It To Win It.

Perpetually Second Place fell into a self-fulfilling prophecy many times and just as they started to pull on ahead and retain the lead, they ultimately ended up...Second Place of the night.

But huge shout-out to The Yinzers, who got a perfect score for Round 5 and also Round 7! They ended up in third place. And shout-out to their team for having a visiting member from Pennsylvania! Hope Survey Slam was the highlight of your trip to LA.

The only team who got the final question -- "Which borough of New York City would you least want to visit?" right as they guessed Staten Island! So, they took home the win with the wager of 10 points 🙂

Great job, everyone!!

And yes, I'm going on the record to say I ate at Olive Garden before this and think it's an amazing place for dates! C'mon -- they treat you like family. This show not paid for by Olive Garden :p
