Porno Mutants?

It seemed like this week at Pub Quiz was all about tied rounds. Round 1 went to a tie breaker. Round 2 went to a tie breaker. Round 4 had a 4 way tie!  The XXX Men were on the winning end of the rounds 1 & 2 tie breakers by being closer to the song length. The didn't win the round 4 tie breaker, but they did win the game. But, their chromosomes weren't lucky enough to pull the jackpot chip. Next week, there will be only be two chips in the jackpot bag.

Bone Slayer!

It was the second week of a jackpot run, and  Muffy the Boner Slayer rushed out to an early lead in rounds 1 and 2. They were in time tie breakers for both rounds 2 and 3 and did enough in round 4 to keep a lead and take the win.  You could, perhaps, say they slayed the competition.  However, they weren't able to slay the jackpot drawing, so that will continue to grow.

No Pea for This Princess

We had another good night of trivia. You all flexed your mental muscles, and it turns out that you know the names of songs from cable tv shows. Doomed To Lose Forever seemed like they may win, as they started out with a 9.5 in round 1. However, Princess Panty Line and the Painful Underwire snagged the lead after the second round, were tied for the lead with Occam's Gasm after three rounds and won by a point.  We don't know if the Panty Line helped them, but they also pulled the jackpot chip.  Congrats on their win and their jackpot.  Occam's Gasm, as the second place team on a jackpot win, got their entry fee back.
