Tonight wes definitely Balutefisk's night.
Let me just cut to the chase: Three rounds of successful Doubles carried them to the win. Now... I will say that they weren't bad with the Drinking Round (Jastine loves her Fruit by the Foot), and British Invasion were missing their ringer tonight (congrats to two young bucks for winning the Drinking Round).
Honorable Mentions going to There’s no crying in trivia who, despite not having a single Double, was only 7 points behind Balutefisk in the game. Not bad at all!
Have a great rest of the week, everyone... and see you next week!

We had eight teams that seemed to be celebrating something tonight. Celebrating a birthday, celebrating friends, or wishing Ellen the best of luck as she departs Rescue Brewing for opportunities at 35,000 feet.
The rounds proved challenging for all the teams tonight. Three teams successfully used a Double during Round One... but I'm don't think we ever saw any Doubles used again.
As the rounds progressed. We had Balutefisk take the lead, then B Sharps... who held it .... held it.... Drinking Round (which Ellen demonstrated how to wear your mask before assisting others), all the way to the final round...
...where Balutefisk snatched the lead position, and the win! Congrats to them!
Ellen, you'll be missed! Also, bring us some Biscoff! 😬
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! See you all next week!

I gotta say that the ten teams we had tonight were just a lot of fun. Great spirits, playful, and just really a whole lot of fun. Plus with Alex playing Mark Morrison's "Return of the Mack" before the game, we were all groovin' something serious!
I honestly can't say that any of the rounds gave us any surprises. Our teams knocked them down one by one, but early on, The B Sharps tied for the lead, then was the sole leader... then KEPT the lead.
Breaking for the Drinking Round question, tonight's question focused on the holiday coming up this weekend, and the revolution and the party we celebrate every year. Yes, that's right -- May the Fourth Be With You... and again, The B Sharps took this round as well!
Back to the game, and the final round with us struggling to remember the first X-Men movie, we awarded the crown and the top prize to... yes, you guessed it, The B Sharps! Congrats, huzzah, and all the hoopla that they deserve!
See you all next week! And enjoy a taco this Sunday for me, please!
