Everyone likes it when top teams get beat. When Pepeeja go down at the Safari Lounge. When Captain Jean Luc Quizzard fail at Gorgie. When the Quizzerinos lose at Newsroom and when Lorraine’s Legends make some mistakes at the Persevere.
Is it schadenfreude? Is it hatred? Or is it the holy and pure white light of hope that hovers over the head of every human who isn’t dead yet?
You’d need to be a proper psychologist to classify it.
I’m not one of those, but I do know quiz people and I know what it means when they hear about a big name going down.
They do Tim Henman fist pumps. They growl “yasssss” in a low register and bare their teeth. They feel it in the gut.
