Trivia Classic came to an end, with all teams tonight chasing not only the top score but also a strong score to add to the aggregate in three weeks, as the M. Night Shaym-Aliens held the lead! The Shaym-Aliens are the inaugural Head of Class at Farside in 2018, and are also tied for most wins at the location with seven VHS alongside 2 Fast 2 Curious! Though 2 Fast 2 Curious were absent, only half a point behind the Shaym-Aliens were the Cunning Stunts! Having won their sixty-ninth Golden VHS four events ago at the end of August, and their first of this past year, the Cunning Stunts were looking for their third Grand Championship to add to their Top Dawg Trophy and Golden VCR victory! It should also be remembered that the Stunts were just 17 points behind the Shaym-Aliens in 2018 as runners-up for the Gilded Skull! In third place were the returning Team Lithgow, back at Farside after four events away as well and ready for their first big win at Trivia Club! They were also joined by an alumni of Cardinal Rule Trivia Club, Chip's Challenge, as well as a participant of Trivia Club at The Rec Room! One and a half points behind Lithgow on fourth was last week's winner Team Erin McWhirter, joined by friends on her birthday no less! Rounding out the Top Five (top five top five) were newcomers The Quiztin Tarantinos!
Game Show Games then naturally began with Countdown Takedown! The M. Night Shaym-Aliens were able to nab the TOP TEN, while Team Erin McWhirter grabbed eight points, the Cunning Stunts nabbed six points, The Quiztin Tarantinos grabbed four points, and Team Lithgow made a couple of good points! Survey Says then had the field sweep the answer slate clean, with the Shaym-Aliens grabbing the TOP TEN once again, and Team Erin McWhirter grabbing another eight points to slip into second place. The three other teams grabbed enough points each to make eight points each overall in round two!
Tri-Pardo then began with a four point roll from The Quiztin Tarantinos, followed by a nineteen point roll by Team Erin McWhirter, and finally a thirteen point roll by the Cunning Stunts! This meant that thirty-six points were on the line across our three round three questions. Grabbing thirty-two points were Team Erin McWhirter and Team Lithgow! Hitting for the triple however and locking down that tricky four point first question were The Quiztin Tarantinos, the Cunning Stunts, and the momentum carrying M. Night Shaym-Aliens!
While a point or half a point were left on the board by most teams, the M. Night Shaym-Aliens sensed they could leave a bit more on the shelf and wagered all but thirteen points! With the Trivia Finale locked in... one team were felled by the last question! The Quiztin Tarantinos finished with 1 point in fifth! Finishing in fourth with 122 points were Team Lithgow, while third place on the night with 136 points were the Champs from two weeks prior, Team Erin McWhirter! Runners-up on the night, but just twelve and a half points off the lead were the Cunning Stunts with 138.5 points! With those points, the Cunning Stunts become the first team to score more then 15,000 points all-time at Trivia Club... and to put that in a brighter light, the only other team to score more then 9,000 points are the M. Night Shaym-Aliens.
This meant that winning their THIRTY-SIXTH GOLDEN VHS overall, and eighth Golden VHS at Farside, last year's Head of Class and now in the lead for the 2019 edition of this second anniversary Grand Championship, finishing with 151 points...the M. NIGHT SHAYM-ALIENS! This is the twelfth time that the Shaym-Aliens have crossed the Sesquicentennial Mark! It is also the first win at Farside since their VHS victory for leg one of LAST YEAR of the Head of Class!
