Our hosts, Steve and Summer announced that tonight would be their last night as hosts. They are going to be missed by everyone here! We all know that life is constant change and rolling with those changes are always part of the game. We wish the both of you lots of fun and excitement in all aspects of your lives.
We saw the clues earlier for tonight. However, I don't recall them being very helpful in the past. We find them a bit generic to be much help. At best it gives us an opening discussion before the game.
Round one was Kid stuff, TV and Movies.
SpongeBob was the easy one and we opted for a bid of only 2 points and turned in the answer. Feeling sure of TV and movies.
Before the answer was read, Steve (our host) ask a member from each Romero's Rejects to approach the bench. Now I thought he was kidding, as we have played here for a couple years now. I went up and met with them. It seems that another team had decided to use our name. After a short talk, The judge (host) made his ruling. The result was......
The other team chose to be Knuckleheads Rejects. As they were planning to play there and found out it was closed. Now it's back to the game.
Next was Brooklyn Nine-Nine, that link is for those of you who missed the last episode on Fox.
Last was the movie
It will hit the big screen on the 21st of this month. So make your plans to get out and see it.
In Round 2 we had...Sports, Music and Movies.
The 2015 Super Bowl is going to be held in Glendale. ADOT is already working on this project...Super Bowl 2015
Katie Perry's Top new song is Dark Horse. One I have heard a million times since we missed it tonight!
The 1980 comedy starring Dolly Parton was non other than
The Cosby show won the Outstanding Comedy series Emmy in 1984-1985 You can find the results Located Here for all the Emmy Awards that year.
In 2003, What country was renamed to Serbia and Montenegro? This was interesting reading for me. However the guys did know this and bid the full 6 points on it. Yugoslavia
In Sports we knew that the Country who raised the funds to send it's Bob sleding team to the Olympics was....Jamaica.
Now I'm sure a lot of you knew about it and many of you probably watched the movie Cool Runnings back in 1993. Now something I had no idea of was Dogecoins, so if you would like to know more about the current stuff going on with this team.

The half time question was about the 2010 Olympic Medals. We needed to name the top 5 countries.
| Rank | Nation | Gold | Silver | Bronze | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 |  United States (USA) | 9 | 15 | 13 | 37 |
| 2 |  Germany (GER) | 10 | 13 | 7 | 30 |
| 1 |  Canada (CAN) | 14 | 7 | 5 | 26 |

| 6 |  Switzerland (SUI) | 6 | 0 | 3 | 9 |
| 10 |  Netherlands (NED) | 4 | 1 | 3 | 8 |
By the end of half time, we are not in the top 3 places and know that we must get focused and score some points in the next 2 rounds.
Rapid Round 4
Steve knew right off that the first answer was Alice Cooper. Born as Vincent Damon Furnier. He is a singer, song writer and actor. I enjoyed reading a quote by Alice when ask about his political views. His philosophy was simple. Politics should not be mixed with Rock Music. That part made me laugh, as I don't care to discuss people's political views or their religious views. Everyone has their own thoughts on the matter and I'm happy to let you believe anything you want in those 2 fields. There was a lot of reading on Alice Cooper and you might do well to Google him sometime.
The Port side of a ship is always the left side when facing the bow. If you are not facing the bow, turn around! Or you can watch Captain Phillips sometime and enjoy the move while hearing them yell out the turns. Awesome movie if I do say so myself!
Now on to Rapid Round 5. This one is slogans. I did enjoy this part of the game the most of any part tonight. It's funny how you hear slogans all the time and connect a product with them or a company name.
How do you spell Relief?
Sadly I can't find the "Who made the Salad?" to add you a link. It was Seven Seas
"Where do you want to go today was the slogan for Microsoft from 1994 to 2002. The 2006 Microsoft slogan was "Your Potential. Our passion". It remains that even now. The first one was WAY better!
This last one I tossed in for the fun of it.
Added bonus from 1973
At the end of the night, we are down to the final question. The category is Words
What is a Nebuchadnezzar?
The key to this question was What is "a" and not "who" is.
So we lost out to The Green Team with 62 points. (Not pictured)
Team Bacon with 58 points (Jeremy the Team Captain)
and close behind them, by a bid of 0 in the final round, it was Knucklehead Rejects with a score of 55. They played hard tonight. They lost our team name effort, however they were able to hold their own in the game and know when to fold em. Here is the team who wanted to be Romero's Rejects and couldn't, but still walked away with a winning hand.
Congratulations to all the teams who played and those who won.
