This question was a Level 8???

I hadn't heard anything about Nollywood or cheap movies being mass-produced in Nigeria (aren't they all busy writing spam?). I'd probably have llamaed here, thinking of LOTR and other movies being recently made in New Zealand.

Cue the ominous organ music. Julie said that she was "born to play this game" because she was a game show fan and a trivia fan.

I might well have gone home on the first question - my thought was New Zealand, given its use in LOTR and other movies. If I didn't prematurely pull the trigger, I'd JTQ.

My thought was either B or D and based on the name Ian Paisley (a leader of the Ulsterites in Northern Ireland) I might well have gone with D.

I'd definitely say this was a WWOQ.

Julie had a pretty tough stack.

As great as Liz's stack was, this one was horrific. Aargh!
