This new season starts with a "Battle of the Armstrong All-Stars" as a trio of Armstrong Neighborhood Channel hosts battle it out for trivia supremacy.

In this episode, we dive into a special battle among the Armstrong All Stars. Hosted by Jeff Revilla, this trivia game show features contestants Marilyn Forbes, Dominick Domasky, and Mary Dreliszak—all hosts from different Armstrong Neighborhood Channel shows. The game is composed of three riveting rounds, each filled with unique challenges and engaging questions. Let’s break down the action as it unfolds.In Round 1, contestants had to determine if a given quote was said by comedy legend Dave Chappelle or Armstrong Neighborhood Channel producer David Fedor. Marilyn Forbes kicked off the round strong by correctly attributing a quote about being true to oneself to Dave Chappelle. Dominic and Mary both faced difficulties distinguishing Fedor's potential quotes from Chappelle's, resulting in a few incorrect answers. By the end of the round, it was a tight race with Dominic taking a slight lead at two points, while Marilyn and Mary each had one point.Round 2 brought the contestants to the hot seat where they had to answer questions in their chosen categories, which were humorously titled Close Shave, Up in the Air, and Ouchie Wowchie. Dominic, taking on Ouchie Wowchie, did well by identifying body parts associated with potential piercings, earning the most points in this round. Mary chose Up in the Air but struggled with some questions, earning fewer points. Marilyn, with the Close Shave category, managed to identify that her questions were related to bald individuals, propelling her score significantly. Despite a valiant effort, her answers lagged slightly behind Dominic's.In Round 3, the stakes were heightened with video-based questions for significant points. Dominic quickly identified John F. Kennedy from clues about presidential achievements, and also nailed Bono from U2 as the philanthropic musician. There were stumbles along the way, like Mary guessing wine instead of coffee, but the competition remained intense. Notably, Dominic impressively answered Mount Rushmore correctly from scarce information. Marilyn surged ahead in the final questions by correctly identifying the Statue of Liberty and nearly guessing the Empire State Building on the first go. As the episode wrapped up, Dominic held onto his lead and unseated the returning champion, Marilyn, by a margin of just one point. The game showcased an exciting display of knowledge and quick thinking from all contestants.
