WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOT

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Upon hearing the answer to a question on alternate names for Mount Everest, one player exclaimed to his teammate “oh you idiot! I TOLD YOU!” Which really is one of our favourite things to hear.

A surprising number of players at one show had to be reminded that Antarctica is not a country.

On a Google auto-complete question, one team guessed that common Google searches were “is semen good for your skin”, and more disturbingly, “is semen professional at an interview”.

An Irish player spend a good 20 minutes racking his brain trying to remember the name of “that posh twat who played Joffrey in Game of Thrones”.

A question about Jeopardy was answered in the form of a question.

And one team came in second place, but left before the prizes were awarded, so the third place team took their prize. Which is why you ALWAYS stay to the end of the show.

See you next week.
