Welcome to my first Family Feud/Fortune!!

* * *

And shamelessly borrowing Gangster Octopus intro (thanks for the previous game)

First and most important. POST YOUR ANSWERS BEFORE READING ANYBODY ELSE’s

Second, POST YOUR ANSWERS BEFORE READING ANYBODY ELSE’s

Third, there are no wrong answers.

Fourth, Entries will end when 50 entries are received. You will receive two points for every answer that matches one of yours, excluding your own.

**The Catch: The top answer will score nothing, nada, nil etc etc. That’s right, you are looking to score for the second best answer.**

Choose Wisely and Have Fun.

1. Name an Agatha Christie Novel
2. Name a single playing card
3. Name an actor who has played “the Doctor” in Doctor Who.
4. Other than Jason, name an Argonaut
5. Name one of the Usual Suspects.
6. Name a mammal that catches its food from the water.
7. Name one of the Fellowship of the Ring
8. Name something non-edible you would put in your mouth.
9. Name a game you would play in a casino.
10. Name an English Premier League Football team
