QUIZ RECAP

Ask My Balls takes it again - but no easy task this week, with plenty of competition across the board from teams new and old alike! First-timers This Shirt Is for Your Kid doubled early in Round 2 and maintained a seemingly comfortable lead until an explosive Round 6 - which saw not one, not two, but THREE successful doubles, giving Ask My Balls and Ladies & The Tramps just enough of an edge to claim the top two spots.

Meanwhile, the tenacious Twin Possible & Co. nearly overcame an early failed-double deficit for the top prize itself, with a bold but unsuccessful bid for glory in the final round (9/10!) Special shout-out to team Standby, also with a 9/10 double attempt in the last round, which would have netted an outstanding 50 points for the one-man(!)-band! Cheers!

QUIZ RECAP

We started the night out tight, with our General Knowledge round leaving returning favorite Ask My Balls in the lead with five points. The Doctors Are In and newcomers Twinpossible + Rickdicululous tied for second with 4 points, and we had a three way tie of Healthcare Is A Commodity, I Don't Work For Free, Rosa Parks & Rec, and Black Mambas in third with three points each.

Round two left our competitors pulling apart a little, with Ask My Balls taking a one point lead for a total of thirteen. The Doctors Are In maintained a close second with twelve points, Twinpossible + Rickdiculous held onto third with eleven points, and our other three teams kept close in fourth with ten points each.

Almost halfway through the game, it was turning out to be a real nailbiter, with less than five points separating first and last.

Round four gave a little bit of separation with the only negative score of the night from Twinpossible + Rickdiculous. The round ended with Ask My Balls maintaining their lead with 27 points, Black Mambas following in second with 24 points, The Doctors Are In with 23 points, Healthcare is A Commodity with 22 points, Rosa Parks & Rec in fifth with 17 points, and Twinpossible + Rickdiculous bringing up the rear with 15 points.

Round five put a little bit of space between our competitors, with Ask My Balls maintaining first, Black Mambas taking second from The Doctors Are In, Healthcare Is A Commodity in fourth with a healthy 30 points, Twinpossible +Rickdiculous in fifth, and Rosa Parks & Rec in sixth with 21 points.

It was penultimate Round 6 that was the real shakeup this week, though, with a perfect Double Or Nothing catapulting Healthcare Is A Commodity into first with 50 points! Ask My Balls held on to second, with Black Mambas keeping third--and really wishing they'd gone for that same Double or Nothing, since they scored a perfect ten. The Doctors Are In ended the round in fourth, Twinpossible + Rickdiculous in fift, and Rosa Parks & Rec in sixth going into the end of the night.

Round 7 could have been a real shakeup, with three teams going for the Double Or Nothing. But no one managed to close the lead, and our game finished with Healthcare Is A Commodity in first place with 54 points, Black Mambas in second with 46 points, Ask My Balls in third place with 43 points, The Doctors Are In in fourth with 39 points, Twinpossible + Rickdiculous in fifth place with 38 points, and Rosa Parks & Recs in sixth with 30 points!

QUIZ RECAP

A command performance from Ask My Balls this week, with two double-or-nothing rounds placing them solidly ahead of the competition and past the seventy-point threshold. Just tight, 14 game was like a knife fight in a phone-booth, with experience team battling it out for Supremacy. Ladies & the Tramps had more feast and famine, mounting a serious challenge, but being hamstrung by using the double too often, while the Doctors, a little understaffed this week, had some bad bounces with categories and couldn't overcome those early missteps.
