Think you know more than financial bloggers?
Try your hand at the Financial Blogger Conference Game Show questions.

This was a game show recorded live at FinCon13 in St. Louis on October 19, 2013. Four financial bloggers competed for prizes by answering a variety of money-based trivia, filling in the blanks, and competing head-to-head in a Truth or Dare cage match!

The Financial Blogger Conference Game Show Winner!
WINNER: Paula Pant from Afford Anything

It was Paula Pant's birthday but that didn't earn her any extra points. She fought hard to get my attention first and beat the 2nd place contestant by only 45 points.

More amazing is she was able to win even though she couldn't answer the simple question "What's The Fox Say?" Really Paula? :)

Paula won a 30-minute Coaching Session with Philip Taylor, the organizer of the Financial Blogger Conference - a $200 value!

FinCon13 Game Show's 2nd Place Winner
2nd PLACE: Lauren Bowling, also known as @LBeeMoneyTree from LBeeAndTheMoneyTree.com

Lauren almost made it but failed to steal the big prize from Paula.

I was tempted to deduct from her points for the question to "If your blog was True North then whose blog would be True South?" She incorrectly answered it as being MoneyPlanSOS - haha Lauren!

Lauren won her own copy of YouNeedABudget - a $60 value!

FinCon13 Game Show's 3rd Place Winner
3rd PLACE: Kim Parr from EyesOnTheDollar.com

Kim is an Optometrist in real life but blogs about her journey to achieve 20/20 financial vision.

I don't "see" why Kim didn't perform better. Maybe it's because she was too eager to get to the answer. I would bet that she's the type who would bet $1.00 on the Price Is Right too.

Kim won a 1-month Business Plan with Rafflecopter: The best way to host online giveaways - a $59.99 value!

She also picked the winner of the YNAB Giveaway for us by using Rafflecopter entries.

 FinCon13 Game Show 3rd Runner-Up
3rd RUNNER-UP to 1st place: It is a true mystery as to why Lena Gott didn't win because she is super-smart. Lena is a CPA and Stay-At-Home-Mom (aren't those synonyms?)

She runs TWO blogs: TaxesAndStuff.com and WhatMommyDoes.com.

So what happened? Nobody knows. Maybe she was just really tired because she has 3 kids.

Lena won drink tickets on Southwest Airlines. I can't tell you how much the alcoholic beverage tickets are valued at - they become more valuable depending on how many kids she flies with.
