Nice one Barney. I'll be late to the party but here in time for my prize giving

Question 1 asked for a country beginning with the letter T.

Only two countries were given.

 and 

One scored a good bit more than the other.

Turkey was the first choice of fifteen, with that group getting off to a good start.

Promising start indeed... I'm sure I'll move to the bottom of the table soon though

Question 2 asked for an ocean. Unfortunately for some there were only two chosen and one was a bit more popular than the other. Still time for those fans of the Pacific to recover though.

Two questions in and I don't think any of the rest of my answers need to be revealed

Disney films brought up a bit more variety. I appreciated the choice of Pirates of the Caribbean but sadly it was not a big scorer.

There was one clear favourite though

ARSENE WENGER!

All together now.....Let It Go.....

The Office characters also had one big Sheep and two low scorers. Would they finish in this order though?

I've got a baaaaad feeling about this...

So good think I didn't put Tunisia in... Twas actually the first thing to come to mind

My first thought was Tanzania, luckily I rethought too!

Well you didn't put the lowest scorer.

Poor Dwight and Jim were relegated to distant second and third, with Michael Gary Scott taking the sheep.

Nearly did too. Never even thought Thailand. It was a tossup between Tunisia and Turkey for me. For once, I picked right. Not that that will last.

Oooh , thank you Google , for once you worked in my favor!

We have fewer leaders now but still a seven-way tie at the top. DejaBoo missed Michael Scott which has handed them the wooden spoon.

I would say it never lasts but...
Hold on, let me say loud and clear:
It never lasts!
(seemed to work the last time to declare early )

Waiting patiently for my beginners luck to run out....

69........ giggity!

The first history question was about Irish presidents. All bar one went with a Mary. Mary would not have been happy with the person who chose Dev.

I think this was the point where I started to feel there were much less obvious sheep candidates...

Mary Robinson won the battle of the Marys, trumping the more recent Mary McAleese. Barna has dropped a good bit of the pace at the front with Eamon.

How my SHEEP run looks now

Four empires were chosen. The British, Ottoman, Persian and Roman. Which was the most popular though. There was a clear sheep and then some lower scorers.

The Romans topped the Brits on this occasion. Trigger lost his streak of sheeping and DejaBoo tried to cement the wooden spoon.

A wide spread of painters were chosen and sadly for our top three their sheep streaks would all be broken.
