The backup <em>Sumo Slam<\/em> was new to us &#8211; introduced by Nicole, it&#8217;s quite similar to <em>Pass The Pigs<\/em>, but with rubber Sumo wrestlers about 3 times the size of passed pigs. <strong>Jiordan<\/strong> scored her first game win in the Sumo ring with runners up <strong>Nicole<\/strong> and <strong>Louise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, <strong>Nicole<\/strong> and <strong>Louise<\/strong> both scored a double helping of points.  This meant that <strong>Nicole<\/strong> was the biggest improver, overtaking <strong>Genelle<\/strong> to finish 4th for the season.  <strong>Louise&#8217;s<\/strong> 60 points cemented her championship trophy, the only other contender <strong>Rob<\/strong> scoring a pathetic WHP to cement his 2nd place trophy.  The other WHP scorers were <strong>El Prez<\/strong> and <strong>Genelle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the games ended we did a trial run of another new game introduced by <strong>Genelle<\/strong> &#8211; <em>Rat-a-tat Cat.<\/em> It went down pretty well with everyone except <strong>El Prez<\/strong> who said he didn&#8217;t like the look of it &#8211; this drew a well deserved accusation of Trump-like behaviour from <strong>Mother Theresa<\/strong> who was having trouble leaving behind her schoolmarm persona after a hard day&#8217;s teach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grand Final &#8211; the winner is Louise!
