Object of the game:  
Give the most popular answer for each category.

Rules:

1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system.

2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).

3. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.

4. Maximum 50 entrants, and I’ll score it when I have time.  
Formatting rules:  
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make your post look exactly like this:

5. answer

6. answer

7. answer

8. answer

Please - no double spacing, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must explain your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST!

Scoring:  
An answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points.  
Anyone who responds to a question with two answers will only have the first one counted as their answer.

Good luck!

1. Name a word a judge might shout out at a tennis match.
2. Name a US state that attracts a lot of tourists.
3. Besides eggs, name something you might find in an omelet.
4. Name a fruit you never buy just one of.
5. Name something a woman might put in or on her hair.
6. Name a place you might see a lot of mirrors.
7. Name a famous Mary.
8. Name a way to tell if someone is lying.
9. Name a wild animal you might find living in the city.
10. Name a famous dog from a comic strip.

Hooray! The Feud is back!

2. Hawaii
3. Cheese
4. Grapes
5. Hair spray
6. Barber shop
7. The Blessed Virgin Mary
8. Lack of eye contact

Notes: I’m completely guessing on #1, as I’ve never watched tennis. Hopefully the same is true of a lot of others.

And for whatever reason, my first thought on 7 was Mary, Queen of Scots, instead of the obvious one.

OK, so I completely flubbed #1. I seem to be doing well on the others, but then, that means lots of other people are doing well on them, too.

I missed grapes. And thought of it and dismissed it, too.
