Got out of relegation zone with a win on defense yesterday, and with 5/6 today I'm on a hot streak heading into the 25th of Kislev as I continue to demolish Dave. 6(5)-3(3)
1) Carousel. Barker led to carnival, which triggered Carousel from my memory. I know nothing about the show but its name, but it was my only choice. 0/2
2) Suzuki. This was easy (and I think for Dave as well). 3/1
3) Wittenberg. This was on Final Jeopardy last month, the topic was Famous Lists (the answer was Luther). 2/1
4) Cobra Kai. Haven't seen the show, but it's supposed to be great. Dave, kudos on recognizing Karate Kid, I'll give you partial credit. 2/2
5) St Lucia. I wrote down all the Caribbean countries I could name, this sounded the most feminine. The question also rings a bell, maybe because Dave was just there? 1/0
6) Law and Order. DUN DUN! 1/3

Dave M day 24 v Kim LLL
A 1/6 today on questions generally way outside my expertise. Just Saint Lucia was correct. A mile out on all the others. I’m guessing a D0 from Kim on Saint Lucia so probably a 0 for me; in the interests of seeing which of us wins the matchup, here are the defense scores I gave her:
1 – 2
2 – 1
3 – 1
4 – 0
5 – 2
6 – 3

Seif Day 24 vs. Brian (LLL)
3/6, not sure if it's enough to get revenge against Brian for absolutely demolishing me in LL two days ago. (I'm all for him not getting relegated, but why does he need save himself at my expense?)
1. Carousel :), D21. Right in the area of theater I know a lot about, so I was sure about this. Hoping to get a decent number of points here with this answer.
2. Suzuki :), D01. Gimme.
3. Brandenberg :(, D12. I got mixed up here, but even if I'd known the answer wasn't Brandenberg, not sure I would have gotten this.
4. Karate Kid :(, D30. I think I deserve some credit for even recognizing that this was Karate Kid. No idea how hard this is. Worried I'm wasting my D0 on Brian.
5. St. Luica :), D12. Lol, I was just there. But I would have gotten this anyway.
6. Bounce :(, D23. Nope!
