SHEEP HEEPS PEEHS Reveal

[E.N.]

Cotton Gin - DejaBoo

I know it's not gin, but this is how I picture Deja submitting that answer...

[Mam of 4]

Thank you for taking over collecting  the wooden spoons from me ☺
(No doubt I'll be taking it back very soon !)

9/11 takes it here, and Sawduck is in the group! Despite it happening right now, poor ShaneU is alone with the pandemic, but taking some kind of glory is Wichita, who is old enough for Watergate to have been in his lifetime! Special mention to Zaph too, who is older than I expected!

Impressive 5-in-a-row Sheep in the History round for Sawduck, Hard luck Wichita - had PEEHS come up, you would have won it by a bit of a margin. Interesting how it works out for Sawduck had it been Heeps!

[E.N.]

Oh yeah, really should have thought of 9/11

[Leg End Reject]

I never fecking thought of 9/11!

I knew 9/11 would be the biggest answer, I was hedging my bets in case it wasn't Sheep tonight as I thought some of my earlier answers could score big.  That's what you get for trying to actually think about this game!

As for being older than you expected, I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

[Mam of 4]

Thank you Nothing, another fun reveal !

Not good or bad, I think I automatically expect people to be in or around my own age when I have no point of reference

Dave seems to be running away with it, despite no wins under his belt, but 3 second places and top 10 in 7 of 8 rounds has him 21 points clear with only 2 rounds to go.

aaron and cee_jay are very close on the podium, with only 1 point in it, 2 podiums each, and 5 top 10 spots each!

Nitty and Trigs sharing 72 points in 4th, EN with a 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd and 5 Top 10s, and Trigs with 2 wins but only 3 Top 10s.

At the other end of the table, Deja, Declan and Neo with only 2 points separating the three, Deja with 2 spoons and 4 Top 10s having a very inconsistent journey, Declan with a single spoon from round 1, but sitting on the bottom half of the table in 6 of 8 rounds, and Neo with the round 4 spoon, and only 1 Top 10 spot - 2 more rounds to go could absolutely change everything for these 3!

Only 4 and 5 points away from the bottom are Toto and liz, and as with Deja are having very inconsistent results, Toto with a 3rd and 2 top 10s, liz with a win and 3 Top 10s.

Our mid table mediocrity is littered with spoons and podiums, with Butty and Leggy having a win and a spoon each, and Wichita with 2 wins and a spoon. Zaph and Edser both have a 3rd place under their belts, with 5 and 4 Top 10s respectively. Sawduck has 2 podiums but no other Top 10s. Necro holds a single podium place but 4 Top 10 results, and Mam has a single spoon, but 5 Top 10s! ari holds 3 podium places, but a mere 4 Top 10s, Shane has a single podium and 3 Top 5 results, but a couple of close-to-spoon rounds too. Homer has two spoons, for double stirring, plus a podium from our most recent round, as well as 4 Top 10s.

Just 2 more rounds to go, where will it all end?!

[Wichita Lineman]

Well done @nothing 

[ari101]

Making up a bit for yesterday!

Thanks nothing!

[jp liz v1]

@Sawduck on a role

[Toto Wolfcastle]

Special mention to Zaph too, who is older than I expected!

To put into context how extremely old he is, it was 16 years after the first man on the moon before I was born.

I played this one (apart from 9/11 and Ireland) as a PEEHS and it shows.

Huge amount of work going into these reveals. Thanks nothing.

[jp liz v1]

How did I forget 9/11

[davetherave]

Well done Sawduck, Thanks Nothing.

Once again the all or nothing strategy pays off. I can't help but feel like I am dancing with fire here though.

I had played this one entirely as a sheep, as mentioned to Nothing at the end of my message: "Come on lucky sheep, *crosses fingers and toes that it is going to be a sheep*"

[Butty Brennan]

I played that one as Peehs   
Funny enough I thought I was giving ace answers but in 4 out of the 5 questions two players answered the same as me.
I'll keep Peehsing, my number has to come up sooner or later

Reveal coming soon... just sheepulating!

Although my answers are not guaranteed to be peehs friendly, they usually are!

The Williams sisters take the top spots, but Shane and Butty manage to ace it off the bat!
