11 for 11 in Headliner and Encore

If I didn't fucked up in the first two rounds, I would easily got a 60k+ score last night.

It was a pretty easy round.

Between the Line-Up, Pound and Headliner rounds, I sometimes think buzztime just spins three wheels to determine the degree of difficulity in each of those rounds :lol:

Lately, one or two those rounds turn up Difficult. Very rarely are all three rounds Difficult. (Likewise....lately, one or two of those rounds turn up Easy. Very rarely are all three rounds Easy).

I still think MaryC was the all-time best question writer for Playback. Nobody else at buzztime has came close to matching her skill level, IMHO.

The Mrs. and I both set personal records at over 60K last night. This was my third running of the table in the Headliner rounds.

For those who couldn't play, what was the final question?

Well, IIRC the lyric goes:

"I just want someone that I can talk to"

<--hears Diana Krall's version enough to be 100% dead lock sure...

I think that's the easiest Headliner round I've ever seen. The one week I don't play...

I was all prepared for the game and even spent about two hours learning some minute details of Billy Joel (the obvious headliner choice), and they asked those questions. Even JAGER (the sports and civil war guy) sitting next to me knew them all...

Yeah, it was way too mild for premium game trivia.

Alternatively, though, they could make them all real easy except for throwing in a hand grenade(s) in the #5 and #6 spots...and that will totally blow up scores.

What buzztime should do is go in the direction they kind of waded in earlier (months ago)...just make each question more difficult as the round progresses. Start off easy for the first two or three, make them mild in the middle set, and then make them very challenging in the #9 and #10 spots. That way, if you get #9 and #10, you've earned your big points. And if you miss them, you still had a decent shot at stringing the first 8 so that it doesn't totally blow up your score.

Just my $0.02
