Season 14 got off to a suitably chaotic start, with Player 456 taking the opening-night win at 92 points. They were never far from the top, then exploded through Rounds 5 and 6 to build a lead nobody could quite reel in.

Hermosa Hillbillies and NeverNudes finished tied at 84, with Hermosa taking the tiebreaker for second place. Both teams put together strong middle rounds, but Hermosa had the slightly better finish when it mattered.

Jimothy & The Trash Pandas were right there in the mix for most of the game, reaching 70 after Round 6 before a rough final round left them at 74. Still, a solid fourth-place finish.

Smelly Cat had a strong run through Round 6, sitting at 60, but the zero in the final round kept them from making a serious run at the podium. They settled for 65.

Soup Nuts & Tea quietly built a very respectable game, recovering from a slow start with strong scores in Rounds 3 through 6. They finished at 64, just one point behind Smelly Cat.

Wise Guys had a classic tale of two halves. After stumbling out of the gate with just 3 points, they recovered nicely and climbed to 57 before the final round decided that apparently 57 was enough.

No Bananas at All stayed fairly steady throughout, but never quite found the big round needed to move up the standings. They finished with 42.

JM was cruising along at 45 heading into the wager, then decided to make things interesting with a -10 wager. Final score: 35. A bold strategy if the strategy was "make everyone else feel better about their wagers."

Twelve Inch Pianist gets the participation trophy for Night 1, picking up a single point before apparently deciding that Season 14 could wait until next week.
