QUIZ RECAP

We had two quizzes smashed all together into one at Blue Lake Tuesday. Five teams entered the arena to compete for Trivia mastery. We had a special set of questions in honor of Napoleon Dynamite to go along with the regular questions.

The teams voted on which set of questions they would answer in round one and they chose the Napoleon Dynamite questions. The Natural Blondes and the Gruesome Twosome both lept out to an early lead, but after only one round, it was still close.

Each team got to choose which pictures to identify for themselves in round two, and the Natural Blondes picked the Napoleon Dynamite pictures, got them all right, and checked the double or nothing box, propelling them way out in front after two rounds.

Everyone got the Napoleon Dynamite round three questions, and after three rounds Natural Blondes still had a commanding lead over the other teams,

In Round Four we read both sets of guess who clues and let the teams answer whichever they preferred. Only The Gruesome Twosome knew Summer Wheatley, and no one knew Usher, but one team did guess Richard Gere, who is neither a character from Napoleon Dynamite nor Usher. After everyone but the Gruesome Twosome lost a point in Round Four, they only trailed Natural Blondes by two points.

The Gruesome Twosome weren't finished with their comeback, and in round five they achieved their own double or nothing, launching them into a practically insurmountable lead, or was it?

The teams got to choose which set of matching questions they would answer, and although Natural Blondes got them all right, they did not check the double or nothing box and did not double their points.

For the final round the teams got to answer both final questions - for a total possible 18 points in the final round! (36 with double or nothing)

After all was said and done, the Gruesome Twosome won first place - Natural Blondes came in second, and Red Hot Trivia Peppers, last week's winners, came in third. What will happen next week? I don't know, but I do know it will be fun.

QUIZ RECAP

We had a rip roaring, wild night of quizzing in Blue Lake. Seven teams rolled in looking to out quiz the competition. Stay Inn Alive, Secret Agent Randy Beans, Meat Mecca, and Natural Blondes are all regular quizzers. Red Hot Trivia Peppers are returning, and The Lakeys and Hazy were new teams joining the club and trying to win some fabulous prizes.

After three rounds we had a tie for first, and a lot of teams all bunched up within just a couple of points. And as per usual, round four separated the people who've watched Parks and Rec from those who haven't. After four rounds, Meat Mecca, Randy Beans, and The Lakeys were in the top three positions, as they knew Nick Offerman.

But the Lakey's stumbled in round 5, checking the double or nothing box and getting one question wrong. Just about everyone had a strong round six, and with one round to go Meat Mecca was in the lead with Randy Beans and the Trivia Peppers in second and third, respectively.

But round seven proved too difficult for our top two teams, and the Red Hot Trivia Peppers turned their knowledge of trivia into the win. Meat Mecca fell to second and Secret Agent Randy Beans tied with the Lakeys for third, but won the tie break and kept third place for themselves.

Both the competition and the quizzing is getting fierce in Blue Lake. Come out next week and try for yourself!

QUIZ RECAP

What a spectacular night of quizzing we had in Blue Lake tonight! Six teams gathered to test their knowledge of useless information and these six teams battled right to the bitter end.

Regulars Four Scored and I Thought It Would Be Silent were ready for battle, and Natural Blondes returned from last week with a twist. These three were joined by three first timers - at least first time here.

There was only three points separating first and last after three rounds, but as is so often the case, round four creates a lot of separation between the teams. Once someone answers, people panic and guess, and at the end of round 4, new super group David's Gems led everyone with 20, with Four Scored and the Red Hot Trivia Peppers in 2nd and 3rd with 16 and 15.

Four Scored could have overtaken David's Gems if they had just checked the double or nothing box in round 6 - as they got them all correct, but just didn't check the box and remained in 2nd place.

In the end, round four really determined the outcome, with David's Gems winning, Four Scored coming in second, and Red Hot Trivia Peppers coming in third.

If this week is any indication, things are really heating up in Blue Lake, and next week should be even better. See you there!
