Australia's Brainiest Quiz Master

Swaddling on in their swill, champions of various quiz shows come together to strut their stuff against each other. Sully tries to make these people out to be more than just boring, but they end up failing themselves. There is no life outside the circuit.

Setting up the first round, the fact that their answers are spotty leaves hope for those flipping coins. Comparatively against other squats of contestants, the strike out rate is slightly on par with the worst of them. Darkness comes constantly and they shuffle their feet, though they do keep from looking around like other collections.

Brigid O'Connor (winner of a Temptation showcase), Virginia Noel (holding some record for the most consecutively correct answers) and Maria McCabe (winner of a Sale of the Century showcase) shoot past to burn out from the first round. All women, leaving nothing but the men to battle.

Second round begins hopeful. Cary Young (owner of 5 quiz show cars) leads the pack, shouting out answers as a drone to score a high of 11 on History. The second Who Wants To Be A Millionaire millionaire, Martin Flood dragging the back with 5 from Pot Luck. William Laing (apparently an eternal bridesmaid), Stephen Hall (current Temptation champ) and Rob Fulton (first winner of WWTBAM) each pick up 9 on the first half.

Back from the break and Trevor Sauer wraps up a loss easy as he bombs out on Literature with 2. With the Natural World in the first, it's only 9 for his attempt. The others have it easier. Young, despite the lead, flounders and blanks out on Current Affairs. Down and out. Flood takes Science to own another 5 and a seat on the side.

Laing has Sir John Monash, Hall holds the Star Wars Trilogy and Fulton on American Space Travel as their pet topics in the final round.

Actual oohing blurs from the crowd behind as the safe playing tactics leave the last three tight on at 6 at the check. Neck and neck, the board is pretty much clear as they move about looking for a one up over each other. Hall barely comes through in the end to pip and drip $20000 for the RSPCA and a block of glass.
