And...........they go differently, on we go.
Q18) name one of the main food groups according to Buddy in Elf [4]
Aces:
Candy Corns – Hooray
Candy - Stevencc
Strikes:
Hooray x2
Stevencc x2
With 3 to go everything's in Hooray's favour as only an incorrect answer can cost him victory. If they choose differently on the remaining questions they'll both enter a very elite non-elimination club.
Spelling proved problematic for a few on this, not for our leaders though who all pick correctly. Jackinky has a nightmare of biblical proportions as he picks up a hat trick of strikes whilst Dave has to make do with a podium finish. AND WE'RE DOWN TO TWO!
Q17) name a country at the 2014...
With 5 questions to go we're down to 5 as leader SoC departs along with blade who picks up his 3rd top 10 in 4. Jackinky picks up his second strike in two to leave Hooray on his own on one whilst Stevencc picks up yet another ace.
Q16) name an EastEnders character who died on Christmas day [6]...
An update of the table then and Son of Cod continues to lead followed by Dave whilst further back and could it be Hooray and Jackinky who hold all the cards with their single strikes? blade, Haillay and Steven have all slipped under the radar after early strikes but a couple of good questions...
The chair sticks true to it's guns as the most difficult fence as half the remaining sheepers choose incorrect answers! It's Christmas champions not series champion! More importantly Hooray and Jackinky pick up their first strikes so my record stays intact. Happy days.
No strikes for the top...
4 more fall by the wayside, including Richard Cranium who goes all 'The Hand of Dom' on us and picks up his 3rd strike in 3. Don and claret finally fall of the cliff whilst everyone remaining can be satisfied with a top 10 finish, much to the delight of Tom and steven who both achieve it for the...
As per usual Llamas is a complete failure and exits at the 13th hurdle along with BFF MJA and Ciderhead, who no-one really cares about after yesterday's spiteful post. Dave and RC pick up their second strikes whilst Hooray and Jackinky chase history. Still no strikes for either, keep this up to...
A second strike in 2 sees the back of markpvfc meaning yet again we'll have a new winner whilst Richard Cranium picks up his first strike. In total another 3 are eliminated.
Q12) name a John Lewis Christmas advert [10]
The Long Wait (2011) - 5

Leo
markpvfc
MSB92...
Leewilson crashes out so it's a straight shootout between Tom and T.A to be top mod (and top Tom possibly?) whilst G4 winner markpvfc, debutant Llamas and long time leader SoC pick up their second strikes. Leo notches his first strike to leave just three yet to take a hit.
Q11) name a variety...
Okay so I was expecting these kind of comments but this one really cuts to the bone. Anyway apologies again for yesterday, second case of life interrupting sheep. Results will continue at 10am so an update on how the table looks...
Half-way through and so far 8 sheepers have bitten the dust...
PLOT TWIST!
So just as we get into the nitty gritty of it I'm going to have to call it a night, sorry folks. I won't subject you to the details but I've been battling a sickness bug today and it's got the better of me. All being well I'll return tomorrow morning before Spired's sheep. Just...
Question ten sees yet more slip through the trap door, including Veggie whose foolish integrity can only be admired.
