Before & After 4: In It to Win It





Back by "popular" demand is another "before and after" quiz. It features 3 montages of 30 photos of real people and fictional characters who are connected. The way they connect is that the last word in the person's name in the top photo is the same as the first word in the person's name in the bottom photo. For example: If there was a top photo of George Michael paired with a bottom photo of Michael Jackson, the correct answer will be George Michael Jackson.

Note: for each entry, it's all or nothing. For example, if you can only come up with the top photo but not the bottom photo for any particular set, you don't get any points for that one. If you know at least half of the set, there's a good chance you can talk your way into coming up with the other half. On the other hand, if you don't recognize either photo of any particular set, you're fucked! :-)

To enlarge the montages, click on them. Below the montages are the point values for each photo set (40 pts total). After each point value is a hint as to whether or not the person in the photo is real or fictional. Am I not merciful?!
