Dane was the only player to get this one correct.

The Best Intentionally Funny Answer of the Week goes to Dina. Her response for #15 was "Bitch Stole My Husband!!"  Had I been drinking a beverage when I first read that answer, I would have spit it out in laughter!

Below is the trailer to Foxfire. The redheaded actress who plays "Rita" is former child star Jenny Lewis. Today she is perhaps best known for her music career. From 1998-2011, she was the primary lead vocalist for the indie band Rilo Kiley. During that period and thereafter, Jenny has also released solo records and performed as part of the duo Jenny and Johnny (with her boyfriend, Johnathan Rice).
