Australia's Brainiest Musician

Dropping all kinds of references to music, it was not without a certain stick holding Sandra Sully to continue. Out in the background, a large kid from a previous episode returns, complete with the same haircut. And possibly, the same outfit.

Dave Graney throws down a challenge, to pistol whip the other contestants, so confident in clearing the slate with their bodies. First round antics are as normal as ever, the few out lights early on staying dark for the most part. A deft wording on the situation leaves a few laughing at their plight. Angry Anderson, Cosima De Vito and Melissa Tkautz take a seat with Anderson implying that he's about to get busy off stage with De Vito and Tkautz and in side view of the studio audience.

Phil Burton nails Sport and shatters Film to pick up 24 points in the second round. So fast are his answers in Film that Sully barely even utters the question before moving onto the next. Katie Underwood dies on Food and Drink but manages a respectable bounce in Natural World to clip 12. Graney works over Literature with ease though does stumble a little on TV in all with 17.

Leo Sayer is out of his depth trying to figure out Current Affairs and shoots himself with only 10. James Blundell just misses out on a death duel as History and Science are 12, one off the mark. Blundell, Sayer and Underwood take a seat with the others from the first.

Burton and Toby Allen from Human Nature face off against Graney in the final round. Burton picks out 1980s Australian Cricket, Graney shoots for American Pulp Fiction and Allen pins his hopes on James Bond Films.

Fearsome play watches on as the hit rate spreads fairly across, no one stealing a topic and all not entirely covering their own knowledge bases. Skittish answering sees no one taking out the lead in a clear shot. Burton saves his skin a couple of times, one with a swift guess proving right. With Graney and Allen holding more incorrect answers, Burton chooses to drop his prize money on Club Friday.
