INTERESTING MOMENTS
Frequently, teams get answers in the wrong space on their answer sheet. On some occasions, the wrong answers are unintentionally hilarious. When asked for the song the Nazis sang in Casablanca, one team answered “Man, I feel like a woman” by Shania Twain (which was the correct answer to the next question.) That would have given that scene a VERY different feel!
Someone else guessed that the Bangles song Walk Like an Egyptian was F*ck the Police by NWA.
When they couldn’t remember Geena Davis’ name, one team said “the woman who played the mother in Stuart Little” which is not TECHNICALLY WRONG.
A pair of Austrian tourists got a question on Austrian history wrong.
In a jackpot round where spelling matters, one team wrongly answered Isreal as the birthplace of an author, but seeing as Israel was also incorrect, their poor spelling didn’t cost them anything.
See you next week.
