Order Soon Van
Creativity starves insanityWorking the same jokes of the previous batch of comedians, the teacher's pet and flattery angle weasel their way into the introductions. Dave Hughes gets a bit of a turn with his Dux state flagging a possible leader in the stakes of the game. Peter Helliar writes his own intro and sounds as self-obsessed as the regular fluff.
On the very second question of the night, Russell Gilbert flashes his own torch to keep himself in the light despite blacking out with a wrong. Just won't jibe contend host Sandra Sully.
Gilbert, Jodie "Jay" Hills and Richard Stubbs are out of the game at the run of the first round. No mike left for them at the stage.
Banana sorts the order of play into the second and it reads like being from an earlier episode. As the topics for the second round round the second round, Sully reminds each of just how many points the comedians need to score in order to lead as opposed to "stay in the game."
Cal Wilson chops the questions in record ease with 8 and 11 from TV and Natural World respectively. Faster than Wilson, Hughes obliterates the set to shoot a confident 12 from Sport and 9 from Current Affairs. Helliar does very nicely with 10 and 6 from Film and Australiana. Ocker accents from both him and Sully at the choice of the second topic.
Frank Woodley acts every bit for laughter rereading the questions out loud and shouting back for calm and curiosity. Not enough to pin more than 3 off Pot Luck and 11 out of History. Corrine Grant aims hard and fast with a go at Literature and Science to notch up 7 and 8. Dave O'Niel stalls and stretches out with 6 in Music and Geography.
Grant, O'Niel and Woodley take leave to sit with the other comics by the side.
One single letter determines the order in the third round. Gadget master to James Bond, and it's not John Cleese's character in The World Is Not Enough.
Helliar takes on The Godfather Parts 1 & 2 as his final topic. Wilson cherries with New Zealand Top 40 Music as Hughes opts for Australian Sporting Legends.
Plodding along with no scene for stealing the run, the three only flip their own colours. Distraction wrecks Wilson as lyrics containing, "Dah dah dah dah d-d-d-dah dah dah" makes no sense when there are more than two people reading it. Makes perfect sense when a group join in post query.
Taking the title this time and without dropping an incorrect answer, Helliar claims the top roost. Noting his nephew's plight with the condition, Anaphylaxis Australia are the recipients of the charity prize money winnings of $20000.
