- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
This is my final game hosting Tuesday night trivia at Pineapple Hill and boy was it a close one! Spoiler alert: there were not one but TWO ties!
In Round 1, 8 teams started out strong with a double.
Situational Awareness must eat a lot of cereal, because they were the only ones to get every answer right in Round 2 (but they didn't double!). They were still ahead of the rest by at least two points.
Round 3 saw doubles by Tequila Mockingbirds, There's Always Next Week, Kidd's Table, Revolving Door, Nasty Women, Pen 15 and Hunker Downs. At this point Tequila and Kid's Table were tied for first place.
A whopping four teams got the Who Am I round on the 10 point clue. The rest waited until the 6 point clue.
Round 5 saw doubles by Running with Caesars, Tequila Mockingbirds, There's Always Next Week, and Kid's Table.
For the drinking round it was Name that Movie! I played a 30 second clip from the trailer of movies such as Terminator, Braveheart, Usual Suspects, and Titanic to name a few. The team who got all 15 actually correct was Running with Caesars! Congrats to them on a rather difficult drinking round.
Kid's Table moved ahead into first place during round 6 by 2 points.
Going into the final round, it was still anyone's game. Kid's Table was up followed closely behind by Tequila Mockingbirds. There's Always Next Week was only 2 points behind Tequila, with Running With Caesars just 1 point behind them.
After the final round, we had to have a tiebreaker for third place. There's Always Next Week won and secured the third place spot. Then, there was a tie between Kids Table and Tequila Mockingbirds for 1st place. I asked how much Mother! made in the box office on it's opening weekend, and Tequila came closest with their guess of $800,000 (answer is $7 million) to win the game!
Check out their photo of them being the Beastie Boys, U2, and The Supremes.

There was a great turnout the Tuesday of Thanksigivng week at Pineapple Hill! There were a few regulars, some visiting teams, and a handful of new players.
Tequila Mockingbirds and Puppy Pals Forever started off round 1 strong with successful doubles.
There were 3 unsuccessful doubles in Round 2, keeping Tequila and Puppy Pals in the lead.
Puppy Pals Forever made their big move in round 3 with a successful double, putting them ahead of the 2nd place team by 6 points. Crystal Methodists finally doubled successfully, bringing them into the game.
One question in round 5 stumped a handful of teams, but not Puppy Pals Forever who doubled successfully yet again.
For the drinking round, teams had a minute and half to come up with as many words as they could from the word "Thanksgiving". The winning team was Three's Company (usually called The Curtis Granderson Experience) with an impressive 34 words.
Round 6, Tequila tried to double and catch up but were unsuccessful.
Going into the final round, Puppy Pals Forever was far ahead, followed by Tequila Mockingbirds and No Reservations.

The competition is fiercer than ever now that League Tickets are on sale. Many teams played, but only a lucky few won on Tuesday night.
Round 1 started off strong for There's Always Next Week and The Curtis Granderson Experience. Both doubled, but TANW was in the lead because of those two extra league points.
Round 2 saw doubles from Tequila Mockingbirds and There's Always Next Week. Whiskey a Do Do doubled when they should not have, putting them in last place.
In Round 3, Whiskey a Do Do made up for the previous round with the only successful double. They also guessed "Kenneth Branaugh" on the 10 point clue in Round 4, along with There's Always Next Week.
Tequila Mockingbirds were the only team to successfully double Round 5, bringing them ahead of TANW by a hair. They also further secured their lead in round 6 by getting all the answers correct. The Curtis Granderson Experience also should've doubled, but didn't.
Lastly, in the final round that was all about areas of the brain and stomach, most teams were completely stumped (I received some very clever responses to the questions) but Kid's Table shown with an impressive 7 out of 8 answers correct, security their third place win.
TANW stayed solid in second place, and Tequila Mockingbirds won the night in first. Check out their lovely "stomach" themed photo above.
