All I can say is that wasn't "One Hit Wonders" as advertised. :lol:

It seemed to be movies, food and Presidents. Stained Glass Pub still managed 8th. There was another bogus Perfect score out of Common Interest.
Last night’s topix was not Movie Soundtracks either.

Getting tougher to get Game feeds set up right as we approach the END.

Unfortunately, you are probably right.

It seemed to be a regular Showdown game plugged into the Topix time slot and graphics both bights. Several questions on the first round of Spotlight were technically messed up as well, Of the choices, only the right answer was listed.

And to add insulted to injury, in the 'last days' of Buzztime, we get various perfect score appearances by 3rd rate players who play two locations and arbitrage the time difference between the feeds to end up perfect at the second place.

Hey Lorin, I kinda got a kick out of those bogus Spotlight questions.
I threw off one of our irregulars by saying it's not number 1 dot, & not number 2 dot. Then he switched to number 5 dot.
And I've also been questioning those perfect scores.

Rayj,

Cvavra precalled the first couple 'dot questions' as he often does with the real questions, then we caught on. Regular questions soon returned, so the game was not ruined.

As for cheating, Richek is obviously using the time difference between the remote feed of different locations to get his usual 12K on his second board and then all sorts of 15s, including Brainbuster, on his Richek board.

I have met him a couple times long ago.

I'd say your question sums it up well.
