Nice to see that I'm still capable of doing good here. Quite surprised to see Sweden so far ahead as top answer of #3 but eventually, I made a great decision to change my first idea...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Round 5 - Results
1. Name a UNESCO World Heritage site
A tricky question with so many options to choose from and no immediate obvious answer. The top scorer is the Taj Mahal on 4, closely followed by Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza.
Spoiler 4x Taj Mahal
3x Pyramids of Giza
3x Stonehenge
2x Great Barrier Reef
1x Statue of Liberty
1x Yellowstone
1x Angkor
1x Westminster
1x Cave of Altamira
1x Wieliczka and Bochnia Royal Salt Mines
1x Tower of London
1x Luang Prabang
1x Ruins of the Buddhist Vihara at Paharpur
1x Bikini Atoll
1x Pirin National Park, Bulgaria
2. Name a pizza topping
Cheese is the top answer here with 9 vote, an ingredient that is found on the vast majority of Pizzas. Pepperoni was the closest option, while also answered were such delicious options as Horsemeat and Cardboard.
Spoiler 9x Cheese
5x Pepperoni
2x Tomato
1x Sauerkraut
1x Peaches
1x Onion
1x Horsemeat
1x Ham
1x Fries
1x Cardboard
3. Name a comic book superhero
It had to be one of Batman, Superman and Spiderman, and the winner is? Superman! 7 votes for Superman compared to 5 for Batman and 3 for Spiderman.
Spoiler 7x Superman
5x Batman
3x Spiderman
2x Wolverine
1x Adam Strange
1x The Thing
1x Green Arrow
1x Ant Man
1x Bartman
1x James Barnes
4. Name a team competing in PCM.daily's The Amazing Race
10 of the 11 teams involved got a mention, with the only missing team Potato Potato current favourites to be the first eliminated team of the game. Clearly there must be a connection there! Many sent in their answer before the first round ended, but the top two teams in that first round are the joint top answer here: Big Test Icicles and Blazing Bakaris (My team!). This was the key round for the 5 point hunters, and only 2 of the 6 attempts emerged unscathed.
Spoiler 5x Big Test Icicles
5x Blazing Bakaris
3x Go Ahead Dippsters
3x Fake Americans
2x Danish Martins
2x Cereal Killers
1x Cereal Killers
1x Not quite Carling
1x Shire Stallions
1x EPIC Racers
5. Name a musical instrument
By some distance the top answer of the round, it's the Guitar. 14 points for that, compared to 2 for Piano and 1 for everything else.
Spoiler 14x Guitar
2x Piano
1x Trumpet
1x Baritone
1x Glockenspiel
1x Vibraphone
1x Crwth
1x Hands
1x Kazoo
We have 3 joint winners for this round, so well done to roturn, Paul23 and lakebeach. All 3 went for a different combination of answers with roturn benefiting from picking his own Amazing Race team after Batman last out to Superman. jihardy was the only player to get 4 correct top answers, but missed out on the Pizza topping, while fernando97 and The Hobbit did very well despite having a 1 point answer.
trekbmc somehow managed to beat MARSUPILAMI despite not answering Guitar, while TheManxMissile and knockout were the only to score a 5 point round.

Marcovdw has led from start to finish and although never having a big lead, he has been consistent enough to secure overall victory. Selwink had a low scoring round, while knockout bailed out of a high scoring position so although jihardy and roturn both did stronger than Marco it was not enough.
fernando97 completes the Top 5 while rogvi97, matt17br and baseballlover312 have a late surge up the table into the Top 10. Ozrocker holds off trekbmc for the final Top 10 spot thanks to alphabetical order. This was the only round where somebody managed to score lower than bikex, who comfortably takes the bottom position a clear 7 points ahead of my failure to score a 5 point round.

As winner, Marcovdw is next for the questions - assuming you are willing to do it?

Remember when I said 'Top Ten Buddies!' to OZrocker before sporting nonsense's rounds started? 3 tenths in a row for me and OZrocker and I share 10th.

Cheese is a topping....just the pastry is not the topping...and even if cheese would not be a topping...this is "I'm with stupid", which means, that even "Table" would been a legit answer...
