This is the 26th TD I have hosted, so the alphabet seemed like an appropriate theme. The title is "A to Z" - with twelve questions going through the twenty-six letters from start to finish. Rules/Notes 1) Lowest point total wins; your score for each question is equal to the total number of players s...

Thanks for hosting - I enjoyed it (and got the added bonus of a top 10 finish).

BONUS ROUND #1: For questions 13-16, you want to "think different" enough to choose answers in the "least used" half to receive -1 bonus [Q13 - most used answer = 0, Q14 - 2 most used = 0, Q15 - 3 most used = 0, Q16 - 4 most used = 0] [If multiple answers are tied in the "middle" (where they could b...

Murray Abraham] Capote [Philip Seymour Hoffman] Gandhi [Ben Kingsley] Gladiator [Russell Crowe] Lincoln [Daniel Da...

I am reluctant to make a request to add extra work for the writers of these TD's, but I think it would be cool for the rankings to include a "Mendoza line", showing where the all sheep answers would rank. It give us bottom dwellers something to strive for :lol: Done. I have added an "ALL SHEEP LINE...

Counting Cook Islands as an independent nation? That area is a little murky, so dealer's choice, really. Yeah, "location" probably would have been a better word to use than "country". Although, according to Wikipedia... The Cook Islands is a self-governing island country in the South Pacific Ocean ...

7. Sarah Lacina (Muscatine) was the winner of Survivor's 34th season, which was one of many to be filmed in Fiji. Name another country that has been the "host" of Survivor.

Did you mean 1997 for the Aaliyah song? That's what the Wikipedia article would indicate at least. Especially since she died in 2001 ...

I mean, I didn't know it when I was filling out my answer sheet, so it's not like it affected me.

You're right - I messed that up.

4. Elijah Wood (Iowa City) played Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Given their character and the movie series, name one of these actors. Apollo Creed (Rocky I-IV) [Carl Weathers] Hermione Granger (Harry Potter) [Emma Watson] Ellen Griswold (National Lampoon's Vacation) [Beverly D'Ange...

1. Harry Reasoner (Dakota City) was a host of 60 Minutes. Though his birthplace seems like a better fit for another state (or two), there is also a town named Iowa City. Name another state with a location of "State Name" City. (Last word must be "City", not "Beach", etc.) [There are at least 25 corr...

Please recheck my answer for 18 as I'm all but positive I had Joey Scarbury. Not that I could not match Warrant & Heaven, but that would not be one I would do. Early in the 1980s with a TV show connection? That I would do. I reversed your response with that of casketromance (you had Scarbury, he ha...
