Good call Mitchwolf
Not a complaint, as we ran the Headliner round, but just an observation...
Question 3 of the Headliner round was which song was Blake's debut single. The answer choices were all Blake songs, with three of the choices being at/near the start of his career.
Then the Encore question asks for the title of his 2003 sophomore album, and the answer choices were: his 2003 album, his 2010 album, his 2013 album, and two Tim McGraw albums.
I think we can all agree which of those questions was the more difficult question.
Now I've never understood how buzztime decides what to do with the encore question. Sometimes it's a softball over the heart of the plate, sometimes it's a fastball right in the chin. Most of the time, it's somewhere in between.
But I've never seen a final Spotlight question or final Showdown question where two of the answer choices were completely obvious throwaway answers. One, yes. But two? That's a real stretch for a premium game.
