Match Game 6 - TOC Hangover

Post by TheyCallMeMrKid »

How about something light after the intensity of the 2014 TOC? Rules are simple: Go for the most popular answer. Your answer can be one word or more.

Scoring:
500 pts for first
250 pts for 2nd
100 pts for 3rd
0 pts for any answer below 3rd.

Please submit your entry in Google Forms HERE ( I hope I did this right--it's my first form) by Tuesday November 25 at 8:00 p.m. Central. PM me your answer to question #1 to confirm your entry. I'll PM your answers back to you so you can follow along.
  1. WHITE ____
  2. ____ CLOCK
  3. DOG ____
  4. ____ MOON
  5. SUGAR ____
  6. ____ GIRL
  7. ROCK ____
  8. ____ BALL
  9. BABY ____
  10. ____ TABLE
Sunday 11/23 edit: I just realized that I hadn't stated what will happen if 2 or more answers tie for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. Tied answers will all receive the full points for that place, but the lower place scores may not be rewarded. Some examples:
  • If 2 answers tie for first, both answers will be worth 500, but there will be no 250 answer; the 3rd place answer would be worth 100.
  • If 3 answers tie for first, they'll all be worth 500 and all other answers (4th and below) will be worth 0.
  • If 5 answers tied for 3rd, they will all be worth 100.

I like the scoring system. One singleton in a mega sheep question won't kill you.

Agreed. I'm guessing by Match Game 20 we'll have a consistent, well-liked system in place.
Hate bad wagering? Me too. Join me at The Final Wager.

Yes, that was my intent, to make it so one bad answer didn't knock you out. We'll see how it works.

A little less than 24 hours left to enter.

Just so some of you don't panic, I have received several submissions that I have not added to the entrant list yet.

Last tease: 5 1/2 hours left. This is an incredibly easy game to enter--should take you no more than a couple of minutes!

All right, people, the clock has struck 8:00 here in the Central Time zone! Give me a little time to compile the results, and I'll start the reveal. So let's get ready to Match Game!

I like the comments for each grouping even if I end up getting offended down the line.

I recognize the six celebrities on the panel. Asking and possibly embarrassing myself, who is the host?

That's me! (I hope that didn't embarrass you.) No reason you should've known that (other than context maybe). I've not yet appeared on Jeopardy, and I don't think I've shown a picture of myself on the board before.
