FEDERGORIES

Thursday January 3
by Cloudbase

The first Federgories of the New Year saw a return of three of the players from the hotly contested previous game, Andrew, Ronin and Phedre, and they were joined by Angelfowl.

The first round was evenly matched with all players scoring as they correctly identified rotting items in my refrigerator (ewww!) starting with the letter 'M'. Having endured yet another sitting of the film Grease with my daughter, we sought to find other movies starring John Travolta. Only two players scored this round, Angelfowl gained a point whilst Phedre scored a massive 9 points! Round 3 was our first Federgory of the night and each player pulled in a maximum score for players whose name starts with the letter 'G'. Round 4 saw Andrew and Phedre grab a point each and the last round every player again scored a maximum.

So going into the second half, Phedre was the clear leader, leaving the other players an uphill task to catch up and overtake. Round 6 was the second Federgory of the night and saw Andrew, Ronin and Phedre each getting 2 points. Round 7 we sought holiday hotspots starting with the letter 'B' - Andrew and Angelfowl opted for Brazil and Ronin and Phedre for Belize, so with all players canceling each other out, no points were awarded. In Round 8 and 9 all players pulled in maximums taking us into the final round, a bonus round in which we were seeking reasons to hold a party. And what a bunch of party people we had playing as I was hit with a deluge of unique answers. After sorting them all, Angelfowl increased her total by one point, Andrew and Phedre by five, and the party animal Ronin by a grand total of nine points.

The scores were totaled and Andrew finished third with 15 points, Ronin's late charge was not enough to gain top slot, and so he finished in second with 18 points, but this week's champion was Phedre with a grand 24 points and she took home a Slithy Tove for her efforts.

Congratulations to all who took part, Federgories was filmed before an absent studio audience!!

Join us every Thursday for this exciting game, at 10.00pm eastern.
