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.

[Barney92]

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

[Barney92]

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.

[Barney92]

There was one clear favourite though

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

[Barney92]

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

[thomil]

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

[ari101]

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

[E.N.]

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!

[Barney92]

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

Well you didn't put the lowest scorer.

[Barney92]

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.

[Mam of 4]

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

[E.N.]

[Barney92]

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....

[Trigger]

69........ giggity!

[Barney92]

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.

[ari101]

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

[Barney92]

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

[Barney92]

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.

[Barney92]

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.
