Louise continues winning streak
The main game was host Rob‘s favourite – Trivial Pursuit, but he only just scraped into 3rd place in a double quiz-off against Tara, and then only because the final question was Beatles related. Everyone agreed that the questions seemed harder than usual. We adopted a new playing method in an effort to avoid the “3 teams plus one solo” that occurs when an odd number attend. Rather than one playing solo (which is unpopular with some), at Louise’s suggestion we opted to play individually, but with the rules altered to the shorter version of the game by awarding a “cheese” every time a correct answer is scored.
Louise continued her winning streak after her double whammy of June by winning Trivial, so she is now further ahead – increasing her 15 point lead by 100 points. Genelle came 2nd, and Tara made up for being quizzed out of the placings in Trivial by winning Uno Flip. Louise got another helping of points by coming 2nd in Uno, and Mark finally scored a few points by coming 3rd in Uno. This brings him back to where he was in May before the ignominious shirt penalty of June took 10 points off his score. He was not a happy camper in Trivial, failing miserably in the cheese department due to sheer bad luck. Louise on the other hand remarked it was the most enjoyable game of TP she had ever had. WHP victims tonight were Nicole and Wayne.
