Faces old and faces obscure hit the podiums to take on answering Sandra Sully's partly disembodied voice. Challengers face the gauntlet of vapid questions and talk themselves up now more than the show's montage footage ever could.
Lee Harding, known to the players as a die hard Superman fan, flubs out on Brainiac as his villain with darkness hitting all of the stands. Spider-Man is at least written as it is always intended, hyphenated.
Out from the first with not much of an effort, Casey Donovan, Harding and Hayley Jensen talking the exit stage left. Or right, or however the stage is set up.
Dan O'Connor picks up 7 then a total of 15 using Sport and Australiana to get him sitting pretty. Close up, Amali Ward with 7 and double thanks to TV and Science, sounding reluctant at first with the latter option as if it was the only choice left on a board with five others to choose from. Dan England picks up 8 and 6 with Music and History.
Clearly with no trouble reading the board or listening, Marty Worrall shoots 13 from Film and then another easy 11 from the pages of Literature. Another to join the ranks of the 14, Emelia Rusciano mirroring the points of Ward kicking out Pot Luck and Nature.
Going absolutely nowhere, however, and still shining with that "winner" attitude, Kate DeAraugo is 3 from Current Events and 1 from Geography.
With a bunch on 14, the tie breaker doesn't even chance a second to be onscreen. Ward sneaks in with solving the puzzle on albums to artists to lock in her place in the final three. DeAraugo, England and Rusciano gone from the pack.
Jazz sorts out the order of play and Ward poses with Zoolander in his corner. O'Connor holds court with Australian Tennis Players and Ward sits with Alicia Keys. Cut throat they are not and stick to their own tiles.
It's edgy for only the slip is enough to see Worral stay out in front and take the crown as the winner. Lifeline Australia the charity of choice for this instalment of the game.
