Game #22 Results

We didn't think the Washington Squares faithful would give up when things got tough...apparently we were wrong! Or maybe you all thought the beginning of Phase 1 meant the end of Washington Squares? Either way, we didn't get much to work with for Game #22 even with an extension AND a hint.

Lets re-group for Game #23, people!

Game #22 Results
Julie Osborne - 5 (for being the only person to get it right as per the official rules)

Valiant Effort: Kristen Meiss- Actors in Sci-Fi/Alien Movies (but also admitting she wasn't happy with that answer even after working hard all week. We applaud your dedication!)

Funniest Answers: Merideth MacLain- All these actors have acted with Brad Pitt (we aren't sure if this was intended to be funny. Maybe it's true...we don't have time to look it up...but this was the funniest answer we got. Kevin Bacon would have been funnier.)

Valiant Effort: None for this game because everyone who played got it right!

Funniest Answers: Ryan Lilly - Initially I was going to guess 31 flavors that Carol Baskin flavored her husband with before feeding him to tigers. Upon further review, I’m assuming that people with bad taste enjoy Dunkin Coffee, and it’s probably flavors of Dunkin coffee. HOW GAUCHE.

Nicole Vanderlinde - Flavors Mentioned In The Seminal Classic 2000s Pop Hit "What's Your Flava" by Craig David (also please peep this music video because WOW)
