Good food, good drinks, good fun!
A light turnout this week (Where did the other half of the teams go?? Foul play is assumed) didn't mean there wasn't stiff competition as always. Four of the six teams were within a point of the lead, and we very nearly had the first four way tie I'd have ever experienced.
Philiza, Area 51, and Itty Bitty Ditty Committee were neck and neck for much of the game, with many lead changes. SloMoFos joined the pack with the strongest showing in round 5.
Itty Bitty Ditty Committee squeeked out the win in round seven by one point, and in the tiebreaker for second and third, Philiza and SloMoFos bested Area 51 in their guesses of Kanye West's Grammy count. SloMoFos won the drinking round with the closest guess to the number of titles in Paul Giamatti's filmography.

A big night this week at Rocco's, and the electricity stayed on the whole time!
A season-high 13 teams duked it out this week, leading to some great scores and an electrifying finish. Six teams remained within striking distance heading into the final round, and three teams ended up separated by just one point.
Group 2.93 escaped with a narrow victory after finishing with 69 points (nice!). Area 51, who used back to back double-or-nothings in rounds 5 and 6 to launch themselves from seventh place to first heading into that round, ended a point behind at 68, tied with Paddington Kills. Paddington won the tiebreaker, clinching second place.
We're Tryin won the drinking round, most closely guessing the number of people killed by John Wick in the first two John Wick movies.

A power outage killed the lights and the PA system, but it couldn't kill the vibe and it couldn't kill the trivia.
From round 5 onward, teams scribbled by cell phone light, and it was Slo Mo Fos who emerged victorious.
Itty Bitty Ditty Committee jumped out to an impressive lead in the first four rounds, but couldn't sustain the pace and were done in by Slo Mo Fos' aggressive doubling.
