Necro

2D and Osh have a 3 point and 5 point lead respectively, with 10 point remaining, its all up for grabs

I said Berlusconi!

Jaysus, I did terrible in that round!

Hillybilly4

Can't believe I guessed Mussolini right. Had no idea if he was married ever, never mind twice.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Think I only got 3 wrong there... EDIT: Yep

Thought Burj Khalifa was the tallest, forgot about Honolulu, and I fecked up the Hitchcock question completely (thought it was total of both actors... and I thought that total was 9 anyway)

cee_jay

My use of the same number has worked again, and got the Police Academy right. Failed for the Hitchcock one though!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Its concerning that despite having more points, I'm still not above 2D on the table... I feel this is a spoiler for the final round...

Edit: I meant rainbowtrout, not 2D

Kolido

I very nearly put Azkaban for the Harry Potter question before I did a quick count of the books.

I knew the Friday questions would kill me.
Mid table it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was just happy I got the name of one of the books right. The chances of it being the right answer to the question are an entirely different matter.

I thought it was the total too. I was still wrong.
