The Pickle Halls came out of nowhere after a quiet first two rounds, rattling off a huge middle game before cashing a 15-point wager to claim the win with 77. Turns out the secret ingredient was brine.

 

Doki Doki Trivia Club (054) stayed near the top all night, never really stumbling and finishing with a solid 73 after another successful wager.

 

Gently, Gently, Gently…Nice! (071) lived up to the first half of their name, then forgot the "Nice!" in Round 7 with a zero. Thankfully, the Final saved them, and they still grabbed 70.

 

Regal Beagles (063) were steady as ever, hanging around the leaders all night before finishing with 67. Not flashy, just annoyingly consistent.

 

Secret Weapon finally revealed itself in Round 6 with a perfect 20-point round, but the smaller final wager left them just short at 65.

 

Latin 3-Way (144) looked like a legitimate threat until a Round 6 goose egg cooled things off. A 13-point wager was enough to land at 64.

 

Livin Lomita Loca (065) stormed into contention with back-to-back strong rounds, then apparently decided 40 points was a perfectly acceptable place to stop scoring until the Final. They finished with 55.

 

Dude Where's my Team? (104) found plenty of answers after a rough start, but the conservative final wager left them at 54.

 

Wolfpack (064) were one of several teams victimized by a Round 6 blank, and while they recovered somewhat, 49 was as high as they could climb.

 

Portillo's Parking Lot (111) never really got the engine running after the midway point. A zero-point Final kept them parked at 36.

 

Houston We Have an Answer (087) had an answer most of the night... unfortunately the Final wasn't one of them. The missed wager dropped them to 32.

 

A-Mae-Zane Grace had a few bright moments, but a missed Final wager turned a chance at 34 into 24. Amazing Grace... maybe next week.
