NTN Encore Question of July 8th, 2006.
Played at Joe Mercurys in Toronto Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA, and Phil PLBAAB. It's my first time playing for a month so I wondered how I'd do in the OnBeat round. I spent about an hour looking at music news on the Billboard web site and 45 minutes on the subway reading the Billboard magazine which took a special drive to get today because it wasn't in when I went to the store on Thursday because of the July 4th American holiday.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/11...I co-won this round. ..........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/11. I only had to guess one and was right. OnBeat...ROCKET...12000/14000...2nd/11...PLBAAB wins round getting 8 of 9. ..........LITBOX...12000/14000...2nd/11. 7 right and 2 wrong was better than what I thought. I got one question from the others but otherwise called out the answers that I knew. JukeBox...ROCKET...16342/20000...2nd/11...PLBAAB wins round. ...........LITBOX...16315/20000...3rd/11. There's two Led Zeppelin questions which are about lyrics and first song on an album. Since for some earlier game we'd been talking about Immigration Song, I guessed that and was right but otherwise not a great round. I nailed the Queen questions. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22920/28000...4th/13...METLCA wins round and takes lead. .........LITBOX...22893/28000...5th/13. I take one -250 this round where my friends don't but otherwise I'm happy with this score.

Now the Encore answers come up. I've got some ideas.
Encore Question:...All of these people are members of the Black Eyed Peas except:

Before the question came up Rob said Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas. Well so is Will.i.am I say. I knew those two and Taboo is too I think. After the question I know Taboo is too. What about the other two? Hey T-Boz was from the band TLC. There we have it as I tell the others with more than 20 seconds to go.
Correct Answer:....4. T-Boz
[NTN Extra Fact:...T-Boz was a member of hip hop/RnB group TLC.]
I'm right and stay at 4th as ROCKET. I finish 9th in all North America. The bar is 3rd in North America with a 35376 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 19000 points. Phil wins and is 6th on the Network Top 20 and 3rd on this bar's Hall of Fame Top 10 for best scores in the last year. [ntn.com kept us in 3rd position out of 1998 bars].
I'm glad I get this right as it would have been unfair that I could have got the ones in the weeks I have been absent.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank PLBAAB 24631 36946 6 16 COSMO 24264 36396 7 18 METLCA 23213 34819 8 30 ROCKET 22920 34380 9 35 LITBOX 22893 34339 10 36 TCB 13872 20808 3430 710 HEVY D 13624 20436 3547 745 PINA 12235 18352 4205 1050 JEBUS 10438 15657 5056 1486 ME 8894 x 4447 8595 5012 TEEBOZ 8634 12951 5910 2090 KID 2530 x 1265 9600 7563 T BO -250 x -500 10000 ----- [ntn.com listed 8777 players]
