Schadenfreude had a slim lead heading into the Final Challenge Round, and they opted for the Category 1 – “I’m Not Only the President.”

In a “Hair” themed Pub Quiz night, well, it’s not hard to guess where that question is going…

But what they lacked in team experience and consistency, they made up for in another type of consistency – the familial kind that comes with 3/4 of the team having the same last name.

Not that that in and of itself would have produced a winner, but …

The final question? Something to the effect of: “Name the founder of the Hair Club for men who also coined their slogan ‘…and I’m also a client.”
