WEEK OF 4/15/07 EDITION

WEEK 4 VENDETTA TRIVIA!!!

REMEMBER: THESE QUESTIONS FOCUS ON THE PAST TWO WEEKS OF EPISODES (STARTING WITH THE 4/2/07 EPISODE AND ENDING WITH THE 4/13/07 EPISODE) DUE TO HAVING NO TRIVIA LAST WEEK. SINCE THIS WILL BE HARDER I WILL DOUBLT THE AMOUNT OF POINTS USUALLY GIVEN OUT. SO, IF YOU TAKE FIRST PLACE, YOU GET 20 PTS INSTEAD OF 10. SECOND PLACE GIVES YOU 18 POINTS INSTEAD OF 9. THIRD PLACE GETS YOU 16 POINTS INSTEAD OF THE USUAL 8. I THINK YOU ALL GET THE PICTURE. THERE ARE 5 QUESTIONS FOR THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE AND ALL OTHER RULES ARE THE SAME AS USUAL. ANSWERS ARE DUE TO ME IN A PM BY 4PM TUESDAY (WHICH IS AROUND WHEN THE NEXT VENDETTA CLIP IS USUALLY POSTED). KEEP IN MIND THE QUICKER AND MORE ACCURATE, THE MORE POINTS YOU GET!!! 1ST PLACE GETS A LEVEL ONE CLUE, SECOND PLACE GETS A LEVEL 2, AND 3RD PLACE GETS A LEVEL 3 SO ALL THAT IS THE SAME. JUST WANTED TO REFRESH EVERYONE'S MEMORY SINCE WE DIDN'T DO THIS LAST WEEK. NOW ON TO THE TRIVIA!!

Here are the questions:

1.) From what MIA current character did Alice recieve a special letter from on the day of Marie's funeral?

2.) Jack and Billie made a stop while on their way to The Spectator that was out of their way. Where did they stop?

3.) Where and when did Cal and Katherine decide to have their wedding?

4.) What is the name of the Dimera henchman Lexie is butting heads with?

5.) What does the MCF want Cassie's help with?

Bonus (this is a special question to help those looking for points. Those that get it right will recieve an extra 2 pts added to their score): Where and when did Carrie and Austin decide to have their wedding?

WEEK FOUR VENDETTA STANDINGS (Remember this is only your comments scores. Trivia scores will be added and announced on Tuesday when I recieve all answers and post results. Clues will be sent out shortly after to those who have the top 3 scores for Week 4)

1.) Tishy (5 comments)-10 pts

2.) Rick, Hoganstays, psychofan, DH23 and daysfan- 0 pts (no comments so no pts given out)

COMPLETE STANDINGS FOR VENDETTA THUS FAR:

1.) Tishy (57 pts)

2.) DH23 (48 pts)

3.) psychofan (25 pts)

4.) daysfan (16 pts)

5.) Ryan Chandler (14 pts)

6.) Rick and Hoganstays (0 pts)

I don't know what happened this week as hardly anyone commented. I PMed you all and thank you to those that got back to me. I hope you all get back to commenting soon. It felt like a ghost town . I was worried you all had a hard time following and so on. I was also worried players got out of the habit because I didn't have a trivia challenge last weekend for Vendetta due to the holiday so that was a concern. I am hopeful this week will be better as I only rewarded one player this week in terms of a comment score. The game is going to start picking up now so please do let me know if you have questions or concerns. I know life gets busy so adjustments can always be made and I am always available for any concerns you may have. .

INSIDER SPOTLIGHT: THERE IS NO INSIDER SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW THIS WEEK. INSTEAD, I WANTED TO ANNOUNCE AN UPCOMING FEATURE THAT WILL BE NEW TO SALEM LIVES IN CELEBRATION OF OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY ON MAY 1. BEGINNING IMMEDIATELY, SALEM LIVES READERS WILL BE ABLE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THEY MAY HAVE ABOUT SALEM LIVES. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO ASK ROMAN AND I ANYTHING YOU WISH ABOUT THE BLOG, CHARACTERS, ETC. TO DO THIS, SIMPLY POST YOUR QUESTIONS HERE IN THE BLOG. EVERY TWO WEEKS WE WILL TAKE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS AND ANSWER THEM HERE IN THE INSIDER SPOTLIGHT. IT'S JUST OUR WAY OF MAKING THE BLOG MORE INTERACTIVE. THE WEEKS IN BETWEEN THAT WON'T HAVE QUESTIONS BEING ANSWERED WILL BE THE NORMAL INSIDER SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEWS THAT ARE USUALLY POSTED. WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS!!

COMINGS AND GOINGS

Martina McBride (Nora Montana): The country music superstar appears as the wife to Jed Montana (played by fellow country music star Billy Ray Cyrus) and sources say she will appear in around 3-4 episodes. "It was alot of fun," McBride enthuses. "I am grateful they thought of me and it was great working with Billy. I am glad they added a little country flair to the story we are in with Cal and Katherine. It was great working with Terri [Garber, Katherine] and Josh [Taylor, Cal]." Also, look for a very romantic and magical performance from Martina during her brief stint. More on this in next week's Insider.

COMING UP IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS: LOOK FOR MORE MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND BIG NEWS AS WE APPROACH MAY SWEEPS AND THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF SALEM LIVES ON MAY 1. DON'T MISS THE MAY 1 EPISODE WHICH FEATURES A BIG SURPRISE CASTING THAT WILL SHOCK READERS!!!
