It came and it went, just like that. Quizmaster Anna has finished her reign at the ever-cool, ever-trendy, ever-raucous Trivia at 40 Love.
And all of her favorite returning teams came out to provide one AWESOME night. If you've been to 40 Love over the last four weeks, you know then Anna lives for a double down. This week...the impossible became real.
Round 6: EVERY. SINGLE. TEAM. DOUBLED DOWN.
Bu that's not all.
EVERY SINGLE TEAM DOUBLED DOWN SUCCESSFULLY.
Tears were shed. Mostly by Anna, and out of sheer joy. Some tears were also shed by Mickey's Hoes, Swedish Fish Oreos, and Phriends - but not out of sadness. I mispronounced Gigli in a major way, and I like to think teams laughed til they cried. Laughed WITH me.
Regardless - Mickey's Hoes took home the gold at 67 points, trouncing teams who suffered from unsuccessful double downs. Two 2-person teams m, Tapioca Pudding and Have Mercy Aunt Becky, took silver and bronze respectively. A hell of a night.
It's been fun. Anna loves you. Thx for the menz.

It was all fun and games this week at 40 Love.
OR WAS IT.
The questions were brutal. The competition was fierce. The first 4 rounds were relatively low scoring rounds. But that did not stop our players this week! Drinks were had. Squash hummus was eaten. And Lord of the Rings characters were listed at length.
In the end, after a close race for first between The Anti Influencers and Colton's Fence Jumpers, it was an unsuccessful double down in round 5 from The Anti Influencers that led to Colton's Fence Jumpers leaping their way to victory, with a cool 65 points.
Come back next week - there will be drinks! There will be fun! There will be Quizmaster Snedden pretending she knows the answers to these questions without having the answers!

It was week 2 of trivia at 40 Love, and WHOA NELLY did we have ourselves a horse race!
The bar filled up with eager participants, competitive teams and some people who said "uh sure" when I asked if they wanted to play. Right off the bat, Mickey's Hoes and Swedish Fish Oreos pulled ahead as the teams to beat, both successfully doubling down in the first round. The remaining 6 teams were within 2 points. Of course, the winds changed as a couple unsuccessful double downs plagued teams, and the Berry round challenged all of us. Round 4 came and while we may have lost Community Service, we gained a deeper understanding of Ken Jeong.
The teams stayed close and the game stayed tight, as late-game double downs flew about. Even heading into the final round, it seemed like anybody's game. Perhaps it was fate, perhaps it was a deep understanding of the periodic table, perhaps it was thanks to the energy of the quizmaster - but Mickey's Hoes took home that coveted first place trophy, with $30 for next week, with a glorious 71 points.
Come on back next week, when Anna will follow through on her promise to identify herself as "The Sadistic Game Master of King Trivia".
