Alternatively, **Ellen Cherry** is our most skanky contestant so far. 😉

You’re only saying that because of _The Little Mermaid_ question.

WTR, I think finally got this spreadsheet figured out. (Lord knows why anyone would want to use red and green for colorblind folks) but anyways I think I got 21 points not 20.  
On round 5, after my sushi question, my score should have improved from 13 to 27, as everyone had eaten sushi. There are 14 people.

If so, I am only one point behind **Mahaloth**.

It’s simple, I simply went with the normal yes/no setup (but did invert it) and didn’t think of the colorblind. Sorry!

You are quite correct! It’s been changed.

We just need the final answers from **Tesseract and Idle Thoughts** before I can reveal the glorious Round 2!

**I’ve never smoked pot

Not surprising since I hate the taste of it.

We’ll let \*\*tesseract \*\*come join us later, since I’m bored.

And when I’m bored I want to play.

So people, let’s get the 2 round going!

This round, all yesses will be worth 3 (!) delicious squiggly worms!

So without further ado, I say:

**Never Have I ever been dumped!**

(by which I mean that I’ve been the one to end every romantic relationship I’ve been in. I’ve been burned and turned down, but never dumped.)

And then \*\*IvoryTowerDenizen \*\*says:

**Never Have I Ever had a one night stand**

**Well, me and a bud had this competition going for awhile back in university… and I guess I’ll leave it at that.**

ETA: Will **The New and Improved Superman** please send me the statement!

**I have never been dumped, for which I’m grateful**. 🙂

\*\*I also have never had a one night stand, which will be clear when you see my next statement. \*\*

**I’ve been dumped** , and can say with fair certainty that I deserved it each time.

**I’ve never had a one night stand** , though. The closest I’ve come was a two-night stand with the last girl to dump me.

</div>

**I have not been dumped.** Every relationship that I have had, either ended by mutual agreement or I was the one leaving.

**And I have had one one night stand**. It was more of a one day stand than a night stand. It was on a community picnic, met a girl, took a hike, yadda yadda yadda. Found out later that day she was in a longterm relationship and I told her I didn’t want any more involvment.

\*\*I have been dumped, alas.

And I have had a one-night stand.\*\*

Both just once, and both with the same young woman, although not in that order (perhaps needless to say). At the time I would’ve preferred that the relationship continue, but she had… other plans.

**I’ve been dumped.**  
**Never had a one night stand.**. I’ve had a few three night stands, but never a one night one.
