To be honest, I'm surprised there were only two Haim-related names in the running tonight. I'd say we were being callous, but no one is saying he was a bad guy, just being honest about his place in the entertainment world. As I read earlier today, "Don't be sad; he's with his career now."
As for our two tasteless teams, their stories were intertwined. They were both in the top three early on. Both had the top scores in at least one category: Wait, Corey Haim Was Alive? were the only ones to identify eight lines from the "Cheesiest Movie Montage." Feldman - 1, Haim - 0 pulled off 14 out of 16 in the crazy music round, missing only the Eminem. In the end, their similar thinking, and perhaps the ghost of the man who played Lucas, landed them side-by-side just out of the money.
Jim, Jet, Pop, Pep, Het, Les, & Fatso managed not to avoid outscoring anyone in any specific round, but performed consistently enough to claim victory despite pouring a large amount of their time into decoration.
Sometimes, when people write the same guess for a particular round, I can't tell if it's because my research is bad, and that should be a correct answer, or there's a similar vein of humor that runs in all of you. Seriously, Marlon Brando in Gigli?
I like it when people who come to Ozzie's for karaoke discover trivia. I love it when they play. I am agitated however when they whisper like harbor seals. Does it make me a bad person for wanting to wait till they're singing and start yelling out answers from trivia during their song?
Fuck, I'm really an old man, aren't I? Hey you kids, get off of my blog! No, kidding. Stay for some milk, cookies, and pictures.
Prizes!
The runoff was all about informed guessing, and it was Chairman Meow who had the information and the guessitation to slip into second place.

No more per round bar graphs?
I totally spaced when I was making the graph and did the line instead. Habits are hard to break, but I'll remember for next time. The bar graph being much, much better and all.
