The Muckin’ Fuppets are on a run!
Following several nail-bitingly close finishes and recent triumphs, the Muckin Fuppets extend their winning streak with yet another impressive victory. They stand out as our powerhouse team at The Buccleuch, consistently starting every quiz with a clean slate of zero points.
Scoreboard
Five teams this week!
The Mucking Fuppets nailed it with a sweet win! They started from the scoreboard’s basement but hustled their way up to bag the third spot after the final 20-question round. The final result came down to the last question – a cheeky 100-pointer where getting the closest was the name of the game!
Nearest wins
This week’s question….
Q: As well as creating the show, the broadcaster Roy Plomley hosted ‘Desert Island Discs’ for over 40 years. In total, how many episodes of the show did he present?
A: 1791
Muckin Fuppets were closest with an educated guess of 1869.
Worst Team Of The Night
The Wallaces propped up the scoreboard in last place and get the 50 numpty points next time.
Jackpot Games
Take It Or Leave It.
The jackpot this week sat at £29 and Les from The Crazy Mixed Up Kids was lucky enough to be drawn to play. To his dismay, he eliminated all the higher-value boxes quickly to end the game with a massive £2 winning box.
Next week the jackpot will be £31, good luck with that.
Music Bingo
Space was the theme this week, we paid out £8 for a line and £20 for the house. The line was won by The Muckin Fuppets who then quickly followed that up by winning the full house, again. A nice wee £28 and a fun night out!
