Able to remember Europeans would say Eurovision, but unable to remember that birthday parties exist. Figures.

Oh boy, a question with broccoli right after a round with Eurovision as answer, I thought we were done with that.

What an awful round, also some answers I really don't understand I mean yes, Football, Tennis, Basketball can be played outdoors and indoors, but to a professional level hockey and volleyball (and probably running) should've been "more accurate". Also great to have some love for Eurovision, not so great to have less love for the awesome Eurovision partys. |

I knew that there'd be at least one other person going for volleyball, but with the same reasoning I was hoping there'd be more I guess Tennis also makes some sense since there are actual tournaments inside, but football and basketball are really more of a hobby when played inside / outside, respectively, no? Like, Futsal exists but it very purposefully has a different name
Good round overall though with Birthdays, the store and the ESC. I knew conductor would be a long shot as a profession, but I really struggled with that one. The top answers do make a lot of sense there, though.

I thought of the Eurovision song contest, but does it actually get great viewership numbers? Maybe more than I expect, but I certainly haven't wattched it in years nor do I know anybody who does. Not that I would ever watch my choice (royal wedding) either.

I have no idea about Eurovision TV audiences, but I only wrote it down since it had taken place last weekend so fresh on my head. Haven’t watched it since 2017 (Salvador Sobral ) though, and I think it has lost quite some popularity… |

Actually Eurovision became popular enough in the United States that NBC (?) bought the licence to have an "American Songcontest" in the style of Eurovision next year.
The thing with Eurovision is either you love it or you don't care, and while both is fine I'd say the people I know are 50/50 between watching it and "would never watch it"

I pretty much hate it, but it was literally last weekend so I guessed a lot of people would remember.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I actually don't hate it, but I'm likely between people who don't care...I was quite sure Oscars were the best answer, more than birthday for example that figured out as a great point scorer.

You are my broccoli, you are my broccoli.
I dislike Eurovision, but was forced to watch it last weekend. I looked up the numbers but couldn't find them instantly, but 2019 had 182 million viewers apparently.

182 million is pretty impressive. My bad, I totally misjudged that. I think it was the first answer that came to mind, should have just gone with it.

Not the hardest round but very easy to make a small error and cost a lot of points.
I'm really enjoying the questions so far, really different topics and areas that are fun to think about

There is still room for anyone towards the front to take control of the game, but will another close round keep the standings close?
1. Name something that goes in a salad besides lettuce/greens & dressing.
You had to have the top answer here or you were automatically placed at the bottom of the group for this round. Tomatoes was the answer you needed with 7 people saying that. Anything else got you just 1 point.
Spoiler 7 - Tomatoes
1 - Cheese
1 - Eggs
1 - Bacon
1 - Carrots
1 - Chicken
1 - Puke
2. What vegetable do kids hate eating besides broccoli?
A close competition at the top here as the top two answers were just one point apart. It was a split between Spinach with 5 and Brussels Sprouts with 4. Anything else got you just 1 point yet again.
Spoiler 5 - Spinach
4 - Brussels Sprouts
1 - Peas
1 - Asparagus
1 - Cauliflower
1 - Kumara (Sweet Potato)
3. Name a food that is pretty expensive to buy from a store.
A myriad of answers here and again there were only two possible selections if you wanted more than a single point. Caviar tops the charts with 5, followed by Meat with 3.
Spoiler 5 - Caviar
3 - Meat
1 - Cheese
1 - Avocado
1 - Fresh Fruit
1 - Truffle
1 - Saffron
4. Name something that could ruin a romantic first-date dinner.
This was without a doubt the hardest answer of the game so far and only 2 people enjoyed a multi-point submission. We had 12 different answers to a question that had 13 submissions. Having an upset stomach was the top answer with 2, check out the rest of the entertaining answers below.
Spoiler 2 - Upset Stomach
1 - Diarrhoea Issues
1 - Talking While Chewing
1 - Chewing Loudly
1 - Discussing Who Pays The Bill
1 - Eating Broccoli
1 - Onion Breath
1 - Matching A Police Suspect Drawing
1 - Telling The Other You Like Eurovision
1 - Premature Ejaculation
1 - A Vegan/Non-Vegan Mixture
1 - Ex Shows Up
5. A specific food that doctors tell people they need to stop eating?
There were more options to get more than a single point here but the only one that got you more than two points was Red Meat with 4 points.
Spoiler 4 - Red Meat
2 - Fast Food Burger
2 - French Fries
2 - Apples
1 - Nuts
1 - Sweets
1 - Cheese
Results
A very close low-scoring round means not much movement on the leaderboard. This should make for an exciting ending to the game!
I'm With Stupid Game 4 - Round 5
Animals/Hunting
1. Name an animal people hunt.
2. Name an animal that is often poached illegally.
3. Name a country that is known for hunting. (a.k.a. Good hunting destination)
4. Name an animal people keep as a pet that others find weird.
5. Name an animal besides snakes & spiders that people are often afraid of.
Answers must be PM'd to me before 8:00am ET on Friday, June 4.
Make sure to leave a comment below when you have submitted your answer!
