Andy’s Thoughts:
- Regardless of what Trivia Tuesdays bet on the Daily Double, it was the incorrect response, not the wagering size, that proved to be the reason for their defeat in this one; Three Almost Dads would have had a runaway regardless.
- I generally don’t see a need to provide wagering suggestions in a runaway situation.
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.

Three Almost Dads’s initial response of “Do I make you horny, baby?” would have been acceptable as it was without prefacing with “What is…”, right?
Also, They continued to receive ribbing about how their team name should be something like ‘Two Almost Dads and a Liar’. That was barely funny the first time. I think it would have been continuously slightly funny to constantly refer to them (in play, not just during interviews) as ‘Almost Three Dads’. Since it sounds nothing like the other two team names, would it technically be a problem to not use the correct team name during play?
