Night Time Feud: And the least popular answer is...[Closed]

The Game Room
101

I beg to differ.

An article on three-day eventing at the Olympics.

The 2008 US team.

The UK team would have included Zara Phillips, the daughter of the Princess Royal (who competed in the 1976 Olympics) but Ms Phillips’s horse suffered an injury and had to be withdrawn.

102

For number 9, I put Appearances as a film by Alfred Hitchcock. The IMDB doesn’t credit him, but the film is included in his filmography on Wikipedia.

103

Ok - MHaye gets a change, as does “athletics” for whoever said it. You moved up four places.

I won again!!! Woo!

105

#13! My strongest finish by far! Woot! I’d like to thank Jesus, and my parents, my fans, my dog Skip, and of course Dolores and 5-4 for bringing us such a great event.

106

Man, I had no idea the whole “no, Suriname is NOT in Africa” thing was so well-thought-out here.

Okay, for question 6, I put “The Audience” (there was a slight typo, but it was obvious what I meant). I didn’t see it on the list of answers, so was that unacceptable? I’ve never seen Laugh-In, but I was taking a good educated guess that it was filmed with an audience and they would appear audibly if not visibly too on the show. Or maybe cuz the audience isn’t one specific person?

107

Correct - “audience” was deemed a wrong answer.

108

Thanks guys for all your hard work. I guess I’m a lot better at this type of feud than the regular ones!

109

Many thanks to our threadrunners. That was fun (even though the scoring left me so close to the bottom, er, the top).

110

Awww, nuts. I was this close to last place in 2 consecutive Feuds! :frowning:

111

As pravnik and I mentioned earlier in the thread, those “general categories” are the SPORTS. Note the last word of the url of this page. Thus, the only acceptable answers to the question “Name a 2008 (summer) Olympic sport” should have been the sports (including “modern pentathlon”) listed in the three columns on that page. Or, to be even nitpickier, the sports listed on this page (where, for example, “Gymnastics” encompasses “Gymnastics Artistic” and “Gymnastics Rhythmic”).

Each sport features several events, which can be as similar as the men’s 50-meter freestyle and women’s 50-meter freestyle in aquatics (swimming) or the men’s discus and women’s marathon in athletics. These events are included in the “actual sports”, but are NOT the actual sports themselves.

112

The next one we do will be much better thought out and have a finite set of correct answers. We’re sorry for the mass confusion…

113

I didn’t even make the list, was I too late?

114

Yes, post #71 (want2know) was the 50th entry, and you were post #80.
