Brand Equity Quiz - All Fun and Poor Quizzing.

The Brand Equity Quiz for 2006 kicked off in "Namma Bengaluru"( Bangalore ) last weekend. This was my first time at a Corporate Event. Having been a moderate Quizzer in my college days, i expected to be way out of my league, but nevertheless was excited given it was organised by one of the popular Quiz-masters of the country - Derek O Brien.

The First round started with a Written Preliminary. The Questions were Easy, Straightforward and didnt leave me with a "Wow - What a Wonderful-Question" feeling anytime. More often than not it was a case of " Is that the answer ?? Cant be that straightforward ?". At the End we were left ruing not going for the obvious and trying to think a bit too much.

The Second and third rounds with 6/4 teams was fun.
However, The Quizzing got lost in Derek's histrionics as a Major from Russia and his penchant for Double meaning and Vulgarity. The Questions were sadly not a good match for his entertainment. ( Wonder if this is a fall out of the reality shows where the impetus on Entertainment is so much, that Entertainment becomes the primary focus and Skill ( Singing ) becomes secondary ).

I wont deny having had a good time laughing at his antics, but quizzing wise sadly no.
