Same time, same place, same quizmaster, new year.
Our teams returned from a holiday break of present opening, champagne popping and overeating to take on questions about smiles, Glee actors, and just how many children came out of Melania's hoo-ha. New Years Resolutions were both fulfilled and dismissed tonight as players struggled to land in the top three spots - finding themselves thwarted by their lack of Broadway and ancient Egyptian knowledge. Many knew that blue meth was the key to connecting in Round 5 but Samoan born NFL players appeared to be a blindspot for many (no, his name is not Aaron Paul or Saul Goodman or Walter White but thanks for playing). In the end, three teams came away with some more little goodies from Santa while the rest vowed to return and reclaim the glory from those ho ho hos.
