Very glad with the results there I had a hard time choosing between Mary/Moses and JFK/John Lennon, what would be more likely, but I chose well
This new round looks really hard, tough questions indeed! Will definitely have to look some of those up.
By the way Freitas, thanks so much for keeping scores man! I just realised you're not actually playing yourself, or making any of the questions, meaning you do only the more boring work now.
I really hope that you can keep this up, at least until the end of the round. If you find it hard to make the time, let us know on the forums so someone can take over, I'll be happy to resign from the game to keep scores if I need to.

Well, don't complain, I'm Jesl, Yeh!
yeah, and he left an l out of my name.
Yeah, I noticed... I have a bit of dyslexia, and when it takes to usernames, I'm a pro at getting them wrong. I'll ammend them, do not worry!

I actually like updating the scores, it's fun to compare answers. Well, until the end of the round, I can, we'll see afterwards, but if things keep on going like this, I may still have something left in the saddle, maybe until the end of the year.
And folks, deadline's this Thursday at 23.59CET!!! Keep sending your answers!
Time's up! I'll have the results sorted up during the weekend, so expect them by Sunday, or Monday in the worst case (have a busy time, but I can handle it).
Close one over here, with runner Tyson Gay being the most answered, with a result of 4 times, followed by baseballer Alex Rodriguez, with 3 asnwers.
Spoiler
2x Asafa Powell
1x Dwaine Chambers
1x Veronica Campbell Brown
1x Rafael Nadal
1x Jordany Valdespin
1x Tomas Enge
1x Bob Marley
2. Name two brothers who are both very succesful in sport
They were successful, at least until 2011, but Frank and Andy Schleck were the most given answer, with 5 members mentioning their name. Maybe next time it will be Simon and Adam Yates's time?
This was a close one, but Baseball stood clear with 3 answers given. Cyclo-Corss, American Football, Rugby and F1 were close, but they all got 2 answers.
Spoiler
1x Snooker
1x FMX
1x Kickball
1x Golf
4. Name a sport channel on TV
This one was the most decisive of them all, if your answer wasn't Eurosport, then your chances of a good result are vanished. It was answered 8 times, reaching consense on where most of us watch cycling or any other sport during the year!
A variety of answers in this one, and it was hard to find a winner, so both Red Bull Air Race and Red Bull Crashed Ice were the most given answers with 3 times!
Spoiler
2x X-Games
2x X-Fighters
2x Red Bull Cliff Diving
1x F1
1x Battle Ground New York
1x ABUHC National Championships
ShortsNL is the winner! Close call, as baseballlover lost his chances in the final answer.
Standings
After this win, ShortsNL jumps into first, with a nice lead over pylarz, as knockout dropped 3 places. But there's still a lot to go!
Was a very interesting round, questions 1, 3, and 5 were very unpredictable indeed.
Also like Manx mentions it shows that the most frequent answer isn't necessarily the most correct one
In the end I just go for what comes into my head first, but you do always have to ask yourself, if that answer is likely to come up in other people's heads first as well
I really had to do some background checking on dopers, I went through this list: https://en.wikiped...s_in_sport
and had a shortlist of five, including Ronnie O'Sullivan and Claudia Pechstein.
Went for A-Rod because his case was recent, and it had publicity here in the Netherlands, while nobody follows baseball here at all, so I assumed it must have been big.
On that note, it's ironic to see Baseballlover answer with A-Rod and Baseball

Why is that ironic?
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy
Wow, that was bad. Really hate the question maker to make this so difficult
Made the wrong decision between Sky/Eurosport and thought X Games/X Fighters would be more popular...
Anyway, the new questions:
I'm with stupid - Round 4, game 12
TV
1. Name a talk show host (NOT Oprah Winfrey)
2. Name a TV series with only 3 or less seasons (till now)
3. Name a bad film who has won an Academic Award (=oscar) as best film
4. Name a funny movie
5. Name an animated TV series
Not meant in a negative way at all mate, I guess I should have said 'fitting' instead, but for me anything that is typical without necessarily being meant to be on purpose is considered ironic.
I can't tell if you gave baseball related answers because you think they would be right for the game, or because you love baseball, but the fact that the two coincide I find ironic in a funny way
I had a hard time choosing between Mary/Moses and JFK/John Lennon, what would be more likely, but I chose well
