Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA, and Phil PLBAAB.
Here's how my game went and my comments: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/5...my two boards and METLCA win this round. .............LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/5. The LineUp...ROCKET...13000/15000...1st/5...COSMO wins round. ...........LITBOX...13000/15000...1st/5...my two boards and METCLA are in lead. I get 8 right of 10. Triviaoke...ROCKET...19100/25000...3rd/5...COSMO wins round and takes lead with 19860. ..........LITBOX...19140/25000...2nd/5...I take two -250s in the round. Opening Act...ROCKET...25100/35000...2nd/5...my two win round. ................LITBOX...25140/35000...1st/5. The pound-key round. I make 6 right for 1000, 2 right for 250 (2nd chance), 2 wrong for -250 and none that I don't answer for 0 points. Headliner...ROCKET...39350/56500...2nd/5...my two boards win this round. ............LITBOX...39390/56500...1st/5. Bon Jovi...I only miss one question and it was question 8 so that knocks out my bonus point momentum. I used Wikipedia to study again this week although I didn't have much time to spend on all three collections. Lucky for me that the other two groups had very few singles to write down. I wrote notes for band members names and album titles to study on the transit rides to the soccer stadium and then the streetcar and subway ride to get to this bar. No time to write down Top Positions which was the question of two weeks ago. I could have swept if I'd have written down a Japan-only released Greatest Hits package named "Tokyo Road" as that was a song on their very first album. Even the quiz writers made some errors as they had Alec John Such as the bass player although he was out by 1994. The drummer's name, one word album title, where the band is from, song-match-album were all asked.
Now the Encore betting comes up. Well 50% as usual.

I'm not sure about this. Well better than matching singles with album title but that's what my notes are for. What DIDN'T they do? I can rule out 1, 2, and 4 but that leaves 3 and 5. #5 I've never heard of whereas the angle of 'Misunderstood' is that another artist might have sang it. The others think of #5 too. Yeah I'm feeling better but not completely sure. If I had time to read my singles-albums list I could have ruled out all the songs except the one they didn't do but I just wait for the answer. Rob says he's covering another answer.
Correct Answer:....5. My Own Worst Enemy
[NTN Extra Fact:...Their most recent hit was "(You Want To) Make A Memory" in 2007.]
I'm right and win as LITBOX with 59085. I earn 3000+ points for meeting this week's standard of 18000. I finish 11th on the Network Top 20 in North America. The bar finishes 13th in North America with a 46550 average.
(NTN.com kept us in 13th out of 1869 bars)
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank LITBOX 39390 59085 11 36 ROCKET 39350 59025 11 39 METLCA 36480 54720 24 71 COSMO 31610 x 15805 634 1323 PLBAAB 29410 44115 70 158 ntn.com listed 7638 players with 6980 scoring more than 0.
