One team mistook Mr Darcy for Mr Bean. That would have been a very odd literary choice.

One team knew the answer to four out of the five bonus round questions right, but when we asked for the role of Ken, they wrote down the film of Barbie. Which is a reminder to listen to the damn question at all times.

And our leaders maintained top spot in our quarterly tournament, one win clear.

See you next week.

JACKPOT

TEAM NAMES

There’s a lot of bad advice in song lyrics…

Jump (we had dozens of variations on this)

All you need is love

They tried to make me go to rehab and I said no, no, no

I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more

Travel back in time to the 1830s

Come on Eileen

You can brush my hair, undress me anywhere

Everybody Wang Chung tonight

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy

Don’t worry, be happy

Don’t go chasing waterfalls

Send in the clowns

F*ck the police

Smack my bitch up

Run to the hills

Beat it

Sell the kids for food

Murder on the dancefloor

I’d catch a grenade for you

When I think about you I touch myself

Hips don’t lie

Don’t take no for an answer

Hit me with your rhythm stick

Shot through the heart and you’re to blame (is victim blaming)

I fell under a bus, I got hit by a train

Hit me baby, one more time

One player got one look at one of our picture questions, and knew the answer, because it was a picture of a video game he had played earlier in the day.

We played an Ariana Grande song, and one team mistook it for Cannibal Corpse. You know, because they sound so familiar.

Beginning with O, what’s a group of peacocks called? An orgy. It’s wrong, but about half of teams went with it. Hey, if enough people use it, we can make it a thing.

And we’ve got two teams on three wins at the top of the table in our quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about five letter words ending in OPE, we found it distressing that a majority of teams came up with “grope”. Whether that reflects on our players or on society as a whole is a question unto itself.

One team declined to gamble any points on the gambler’s question, stating instead that “gambling is bad”.

And we have one team at the top of the table of our quarterly tournament with three wins.

One player was wearing this shirt when we asked a dilemma question about whether they would accept $200,000 to wear a dog cone for a year.

Our bonus round this week involved the Crufts dog show, and one of our venues had Crufts on TV throughout the quiz. Not sure how much it helped.
