NTN Encore Question of October 4th, 2008.
Played at The Squire & Firkin in Etobicoke, Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA and Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/5...our five boards win round with no real guessing needed. ............LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/5. OnBeat...ROCKET...13000/14000...1st/5...we all go 8 for 9 and win this round. .............LITBOX...13000/14000...1st/5...Rob gets us two but I'd forgotten about Akon throwing a fan offstage a few months ago. Jukebox...ROCKET...19000/20000...1st/5...my two boards and COSMO and METLCA win round. ............LITBOX...19000/20000...1st/5...good sweep of this round. I got the categories I wanted. Triviaoke...ROCKET...25946/28000...3rd/5...METLCA wins round. .............LITBOX...25945/28000...4th/5...I didn't take any -250s thanks to Rob but we were all late on the Elvis song "Love Me Tender".

I don't know this but was starting to peel off answers when Rob said who it was. Yep I thought with Rabbitt being a Country star, it narrowed it down to Crystal Gayle or Rita Coolidge at most. I started replaying the song which I don't know too well but Rob had gotten us the answer.
Correct Answer:....3. Crystal Gayle
[NTN Extra Fact:...(something like) The song hit #1 in the Country charts in 1983.]
I'm right and stay in 3rd with ROCKET at 38917. I finish 43rd overall for all North America. The bar is 5th in North America with a 38586 average.. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 17000 points. METLCA wins and is 3rd on this bar's Hall of Fame. (NTN.com moved our bar up to 4th place out of 1506 locations.)
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank METLCA 26080 39120 39 31 COSMO 25975 38962 42 34 ROCKET 25946 38919 43 35 LITBOX 25945 38917 44 36 PLBAAB 24675 37013 81 88 (ntn.com listed 6295 players)
