Snarky Trivia Recap: “Just Hoppy” and Wildly Wager-Happy Edition
If you weren’t there, here’s what you missed: a night full of unexpected power plays, some strategic chaos, and at least one team that seemingly forgot they were supposed to score points. Let’s break it down, roast included:
Just Hoppy To Be Here (027)
Turns out being "just hoppy" was enough! A very hoppy 20-point haul in Round 6 catapulted them to the top, and they cruised in with a confident 61. Cheers to being
deceptively chill and sneakily sharp. Happy Birthday, Alysa!
Like A Deck of Cards (052)
Stacked their game like a poker hand: steady, not flashy, and went all in with a 13-point final wager to land at 56. A full house of good decisions.
Highly Unstable
They lived up to their name. Cold in the middle, flammable at the end. That 13-point wager saved their night, landing them at a surprisingly solid 50. Emotional rollercoaster? Yes.
Effective? Also yes.
Tipsy Dick (012)
Things got blurry in the middle, but they rallied hard with a 15-point wager to finish at 49. Sloppy start, surprisingly functional finish—just like their namesake.
LA Mentary
Started hot, stayed consistent, then kind of... wandered off. Only got 1 point in the final round and ended up at 48. Probably trying to prove a point. Unclear what it was.
Sex Panther (041)
They were “illegal in nine countries” and scored like it. High energy up front, then a slow fade into mediocrity. Final: 43. They smelled more like regret than victory.
The Jungle & The 818
Looked more like The 405 at rush hour than a threat on the scoreboard. A respectable final wager brought them to 37, but it was a long, slow crawl.
Dimple Whimsical Power Budget
The name? Iconic. The gameplay? Meh. They did manage to conjure 36 points, but not before leaving several rounds looking like an interpretive dance of confusion.
Peden Street Peeps
Started with a whisper, ended on a note of, "Wait, we finished where?" A final round surge carried them to 36, which is honestly more than expected after a first half that
was mostly... vibes.
Orbital SSC
Blasted off in Round 1 with a 12-point statement... and then slowly drifted into trivia space. Final score: 31, after a -3 crash landing in the final. Houston, they had a
problem.
Quizteama Aguilera
Steady-ish all game, then imploded on a -5 in the final. Christina would not approve. Ended with 23, and zero genie bottles left.
The Cool Guys
A masterclass in what not to do. Started with a 6, ended with a 2. When things got tough...they got going...out the door! What's cool about that?
That’s a wrap on this week’s showdown. Remember: wagering big only works if you actually know things. See you next round—preferably with a team name I can say with a straight face.
