All New Film and Television Quiz Tonight

Yeah, the first half of the week quiz was pretty damn hard. I’ll admit it. Might pull back the reins just a touch tonight. Not too much though. The speed round will be a bit easier. All TV and movie questions.

We start at Ugly American at 8 p.m. $2 Lagers and $3 Fries. Things are wide open. 5 different winners in the past 6 weeks. On to the Bards, where Steak Em Up has been frantically fighting off a couple of teams trying to take their throne. Things have been crazy last few weeks. Will the craziness continue tonight? Action starts at 10:15 p.m. $3 fries and $2.50 Lager Lights.

Film and TV Quizzo Tonight

Things have been rocking lately. Last night was the busiest we’ve been at O’Neals in months. And it was awesome to see the Savage Ear back in the house. It turned out that the movie mix and match round was pretty damn hard, the TV wild card round sort of so-so, but parts of it pretty damn hilarious. (I am dying to show these clips on the site tomorrow.) Anyways, action starts at Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. and moves to Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Hope to see ya there!

Question of the Week

This actress was known as American Venus, is believed to be the first to be the first actress to ever appear nude in a feature film (Inspiration), and spent the last 65 years of her life in a psychiatric ward before dying at age 104.

JGT Power Rankings for Week of November 1st

After the wildest week in JGT quizzo history, things are all sorts of insane. Not a single team in last week’s Top 12 won this week, and only four of them even finished in the top 3. Here are the latest rankings.

1. Vacant. There simply is no-one to put here after last week. All of our top teams should be happy about this, as the position is obviously cursed. The Top ranked team has lost every single week following their #1 ranking so far.

2. L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics. (Ugly American) No-way they can keep the title after losing by 9 points, but their 2nd place finish at least keeps them in 2nd on the big board. Last week: #1

3. Duane’s World. (Black Sheep) Hard to believe that a 3rd place finish could move a team up in the rankings, but compared to how our other perennial champs did, it was a major victory. Last week: #4

4. Madame Butterface (The Vous). Came into the Vous on Wednesday and sent a message at our toughest bar, loud and clear. Was it a flash in the pan, or is this team for real? We’ll find out soon enough. Last week: NR

5. Wet Bandits. (O’Neals). Dominate at O’Neals with a 116. As with all of the teams this week, hard to know if they’re for real or all about the 2 G’s. Last week: NR

6. Million Dollar Robot Baby (City Tap House). Stay put in the rankings thanks to a mere 8-point loss and 2nd place finish at CTH. Last week: #6

7. Steak Em Up (Bards). Not even a Top 3 finish. They get in on name recognition alone. Last week: #3

8. Do It Live (City Tap House). Who are they? Why are they here? I have no idea, but I’d like to see them play again to see if there is a new powerhouse at CTH. Last week: NR

9. The Jams (Rendezvous). Normally a 109 has you closer to the top of the list. This week, it just got the Jams a 7 point loss. Last week: #11

10. That’s Just How Quizzo Go. (Black Sheep). That’s just how quizzo went last week. A huge win at the Sheep. Last week: NR

11. Queen of Hearts is a Nice Piece of Ace (Bards). Love teams like this. Been playing forever, never took home top prize, and finally on one night, all of the stars aligned and they win at a packed bar. Awesome. Last week: NR

12. Mustard Gives Me Gas (Ugly American). Look damn impressive, a 3-player team knocking off the #1 Diabetics. On a normal week, they’d be even higher, but last week wasn’t a normal week. Last week: NR

13. We Got Fracked (North Star). Another team with its first ever win after playing for a long time, they take home the trophy at the North Star bar and move into our power rankings for the first time ever. Will #13 be lucky for Fracked? Last week: NR

TV and Movie Week

After the week of sheer insanity that was “2000s Week”, we’ll see if things come back down to earth this week with TV and Movie Week. Of course, this covers a ton of ground, from the Lumiere Brothers to Paranormal Activity 3, from Vladimir Zworkyin to 3 1/2 Men. So it should be interesting to see how it shakes out. Action starts at O’Neals tonight at 8 p.m. We move to City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. $50 gift certificate for the winner at O’Neals, and definitely the best place to get a win right now. $100 gift certificate for the winners at City tap House. Hope to see ya tonight!
