Competition: 'Glee' Winner

Saturday 25 September 2010

Last Monday I ran a competition in partnership with UKGleeDVD, to win a selection of Glee prizes (1x DVD of "Glee: The Complete First Season", 1x official Glee iPhone 3GS case, 1x official Glee Season 1 poster, 1x official Glee exercise book, and 1x "Wicked" musical card wallet). The competition attracted an unprecedented response, with 567 entries! I'm so pleased that everyone took the time to answer this question:

What is the name of the restaurant Glee's characters sometimes visit?
The answer and name of the lucky winner is below:

Answer: "BreadstiX"

Winner: Liz Osborne

Congratulations to Liz! I will be in touch to arrange delivery of your Glee swag. The winner was chosen using Random.org. I also accepted "Breadsticks" as the correct answer, but a handful of people unfortunately gave the name of other establishments mentioned in the show (Jollibees, The Tam O'Shanter Inn, etc.) While I can understand this mistake, BreadstiX fitted the definition of "restaurant" more appropriately, and featured throughout season 1 a total of 6 times -- most famously in the episode "Hell-O", when Santana and Brittany took Finn there on a date (see above).

Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter this competition, and particularly if you helped spread the word online -- even if that did decrease your own chances of winning! Hopefully I'll be running similar competitions in the near-future.
