QUIZ RECAP

Started the game super worried about my 90-year-old grandmother's sudden cancer diagnosis. Ended the game relieved (and not too drunk) that her doctor was confident enough that three rounds of chemo will do the trick. Thank you to all for the powerful vibes tonight -- this will go down in history as the ONLY time thoughts and prayers have ever worked!

The Home Team FINALLY had a lousy night. Not that we would ever wish that upon him, but he needs a humbling experience every once in a while. Especially considering he has his ticket for King Trivia's Marvel themed event, in which he's sure to kick ass, win 50% of ticket sales, and then suddenly become EVERYONE'S best friend come Tuesday the 23rd.

Good Vibes 4 Granny got an extra bonus point for the extra love in Gramma's direction, but it was only good enough for a third place ranking. Not that anyone should complain about winning $10, but Good Vibes had all 10 "C" elements, DOUBLED DOWN, but then at the last minute scratched out the double down and replaced it with a "JK." After agreeing it was EVERYONE'S fault, they'll come back next week and do better.

It was a full blown [friendly] war between Thirsty Pretzels, who just barely didn't know enough to double down on anything, and The Implication, who started out super strong with a Green Day Packers double down, but slowly started dropping the ball as the game progressed. The Implication won first place by the skin of their teeth, and God knows they had to work that $40.

But Thirsty Pretzels couldn't be too bummed -- $20 and a free appetizer/dessert for being the first team to guess Regina King was our dudette of the night? Pfft, they practically eat for free at the Recess Room these days.

QUIZ RECAP

Scene: INT. RECESS ROOM - 7:00 PM.

King Trivia players find themselves in an intimate setting. Four teams are competing for $10, $20, and $40 gift cards. This is drastically different from the full house we've had in recent weeks. Quizmaster Charlotte also finds herself in an intimate setting, brought on by Daddy Down coming up with super flirtatious team names she is forced to read aloud. Their ass-kissing will not save them tonight.

Team With No Name has done this before, but has a rough night. In spite of it all, they have fun with it, and do not let fourth place dampen their spirits. Inspiring.

Charlotte's Delight arrives to take a vacation from their own screwed up world, where "Charlotte" is spelled like "Charolette" regularly, although the name is never pronounced CHAR-ROE-LETTE. In the real world, there is only one spelling -- the CORRECT spelling. It remains unclear whether Charlotte's Delight scores third because of a failed double-down and a double-down that should have been, or because Quizmaster Charlotte is discreetly taking points away as punishment for such a monstrosity. We may never know.

Home Team knows little about Gerard Butler, the future Mr. Quizmaster Charlotte, much to the disappointment of some. This does not, however, deter him from identifying his school-set movies, V answers, and Crowdiest Places on Earth. His depth of knowledge surely is an enigma.

Thirsty Pretzels are thirsty, all right -- thirsty for free money and food! These salty carbohydrates hold their lead throughout the entire game, being well-versed in all things general, V-ish, Hottest Man On The Planet-esque, Bond, James Bond, and baseball starting pitchers. They will return next week to slaughter again... or will they?

QUIZ RECAP

Everyone was back significantly more sober than they were on St. Patrick's Day, but when you're up against some of the smartest King Trivia teams in the OC, you gotta bring your A-game!

Thirsty Pretzels had a strong lead, starting with a talk show host double down, and scoring high all the way through to the end. They also won a free dessert for being the first team to guess Robert Redford, who bested both the Home Team and Daddy Down, but figured out by The Implication and We R As Dum Ass We Look at the last minute.

Everyone also struggled with their roosters and Alfred Hitchcock questions, not having a single correct answer of True Grit or topaz. But most everyone figured out their university connections and got a lot of Sandra Bullock movies.

Congratulations to all our winners, especially We R As Dum Ass We Look, who proved by the end of the game they really aren't all that dum (dey juss kant spel).
