Team Lisa:

Team Lisa had a terrible start with Yong's attempt at Homer Simpson and Reuben's attempt at Scooby Doo.

Team No-Name quickly raced ahead and were already at the finish line when Team Lisa was only half-way through. Team No-Name failed to deliver a killing blow, with time running out on their last picture.

Team Lisa gave it their best and in quick sucession from best to worst drawers (starting with Lisa and finishing with Reuben), all five drawers sucessfully drew to wrest victory from the jaws of defeat.

Articulate:

Team A(rticulate):
Leah
Reuben
Tara
Yong

Team B:
Giny
Keng
Lisa
May
Sravan

It quickly became evident that drawing ability and comand of the verbal communication were inversely proportional. Reuben surprised everyone with his general knowlege and Yong pulled Team Articulate through the difficult "World" questions.

The killing blow from Team A came in the form of a 30 foot squid, the Portugese Man O' War...

Poker:

With Reuben, Tara and Yong sitting on two wins, it was going to be a tight contest.

May demonstrated her consummate command of her game by declaring that pair ace was the smallest pair.

One by one many players fell until only the Queen and Yong remained. The Queen fought a war of attrition with Yong slowly but surely crumbling. In one last desperate sally forth, Yong mustered all his forces but to no avail. The Queen's ace kicker to Yong's king kicker cemented Tara's reign as Queen of Games.

Champion:
Tara crowned as Queen of Games
