- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
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.

A rollicking round of ego checking it was as our teams this week met with a few categories out of their wheelhouses, but some still were able to rise above their shortcomings with a few well-placed double-downs.
Round 1 saw leaders Jump forth, as "There's always next week" and "The Oxymorons" doubled-down successfully, pulling away from the crowd, and forshadowing their podium wins. Round 2 kept everyone close together, but three teams pulled ahead in Round 3 with double downs.
Rounds 4 and 5 saw the leaders begin to pull away, but only by one or two points. Round 6, however began to seal fates as goose eggs began to be lain and a Game-changing 20 point double-down for Tequila Mocking birds rocketed them into contention that they sealed in round 7, which due to some errant hashtags, did little to change the standings. "There's always next week", "Tequila Mockingbirds", and "The Oxymorons" took the podium in descending order.
