Since winning the series, she has had many conversations with friends and relatives and is pleased to have met all the interesting people she has played against.
The FunkQuest Tag Team Challenge Final proved to be as entertaining as promised, with Barb Braendlein and Phil Pelucha facing up to their opponants Ann Smith and Leana Delle.Barb was first to chose from the FunKQuest Board and choosing the 'Ballerina feet' meant that Phil had to answer the question - "What job would an octopus be good at?" His answer 'a Chef' especially with all the pots it would have to fling aroundAnn as head of the pink team chose Leana to answer the question - "What are you embarressed about being good at?" Not being embarressed but being 'looked down upon' Leana found it difficult to show off her handyman skills to men.Question 2 and Barb chose the 'Pegs' icon. She says she has a 'mental escape hatch' when she finds herself wishing she was somewhere else.Ann Chose the 'Horse' Icon and revealed that she drinks 4 pints of water a day, which is a very healthy thing to do.Phil was chosen by Barb to answer the third question. He would never 'accidentally' steal something. He describes himself as a 'Wisdom Magpie' - only good if you never actually use the wisdom on the person you got it from.Leana has; learnt how to draw using charcoal, learnt how to stop it smearing, learnt how to package her pictures and learnt how to use her payment app. Just in this last week?Question 4 was answered by Barb for her team.

His love of chicken meant that the animal he would bring back from extinction was the DoDo. He really loves his chicken!Question 5 for the pink team and Ann passed the question about books to her author friend Leana to answer (of course). Leanas' love of a certain author, while not reading each of his book 5 times, she had bought and read all his books in Hardback
These two ladies may look familiar, and you would be right to think that you have seen them somewhere before, the reason is; Barb and Lisa played each other in Semi Final 1 of FunkQuest Season 3. Barb was beaten in the semi final but has agreed to return as 'Sheriff' due to unforseen circumstances. So they play again in this FunkQuest Season 3 Grand Final.Barb was first to choose an Icon. Her answer to the question was that generally she is very easy to shop for, as she loves opening presents regardless of what is inside. She is not very good at telling others what to buy for her.Question 1 for Lisa she chose the' baby shoes' Icon and explained that the last song she danced to was part of a compilaton album of 'Soul Train'. She was dancing in her bathroom to Stevie Wonder.Barb was very happy to answer the next question about dealing with 'cold callers'. When the caller is a person, she likes to keep them talking. Robot callers, not so much. Lisa did not have to name her Craziest relative, in case they were listening but she described the sort of person who always is in the middle of everything, no matter what the topic they have done it, seen it, tried it, started it, finished it. I am sure we all have one of these.Question 3, Barb chose the 'Puffin' Icon and revealed that she was 16 when she got her first bank card. For a couple of years she was dilligent in making sure it always had five dollars in the account.Having been there and seeing animals in their natural habitat and the glory of the scenery, Lisa was able to answer 'Where should everyone go at least once?' with a great deal of enthusiasm.Barb decided in her fourth answer that the record she really wanted to break was that of 'How many times you can lose on FunkQuest but still get to play again.' Not a real record but fun anyway.Lisa chose the 'Sumo Wrestlers' Icon. 'Have you ever had your palm read' was the question and she answered that when she went to India she had done it. The palm reader left her with more questions than answers.'How would you describe humanity to Aliens?' was the final question for Barb. If the aliens were intent on world domination she would explain about the diseases we carry or try to tell them about love and fear or even try to bargain with bits of the world.Final Question of the game was for Lisa and the circus act she would love to take part in is the 'Spinning circle' which the ladies of the 'Cirque de Soleil' do their acrobatics in.What is FunkQuest ?Funkquest is a fun interactive online conversation game that features five rounds.Funksters (players) view a board containing 20 individual icons (pictures) Funksters select an icon from the board which most tweaks their interest.

She can get lost quite easily.Barb revealed that if she was a vegetable she would be a Leek.

She may often look foolish, to some people, when getting involved with young children and reading books but she doesn't mind that.Question 3 and Barb chose the 'Swiss Army Knife' icon. If she was to invent something, it would be crutches that do not make your shoulders hurt. Her recent foot problem has meant, weight movement through hands and shoulders has been painful.'What word do you always spell wrong?' led to Jean, Barb and Jonathan discussing words that are easily spelt incorrectly.Barb next revealed that she' tells herself off' when she realises that she could have said something different after meeting with people she should really know.Jean chose the 'butterfly' icon and the last time she went swimming was over a year ago.

However, only one of them can reach the final!Lisa answered question 1 after choosing the 'glasses of wine' icon. With no experience of the job she was assigned, after a great interview, to a boss who was really too busy to help his struggling apprentice.Barb confessed that, because of her broken foot and having to walk with crutches, the most exciting thing that was happening at the moment was being able to wash her hair.Lisa explained in her Question 2 that the thing that 'makes here roll her eyes' was someone saying 'Yes, but...' in answer to a request. The 'but' is usually a big one Why not just say no.Barb is not going to be jumping anywhere at the moment and especially not the queue, but she is not a queue jumper anyway. It annoys her when cars go fast to get in front of the line and try to merge in.The place Lisa would love to visit is one of the areas of the world which still contain Gorilla families, in the hope that she can get close while they ignore her.Barb chose the 'Shoes' icon for her third question, 'Which planet would you like to visit?' and not being that ambitious to go anywhere out of this world, staying on Earth works for her.We can stop using more than we need, by not buying more than we need. Lisa has a great wardrobe idea and a way to give stuff away.Question 4, and Barb chose the 'Russia' icon, particularly appropriate as she has named her crutches, Boris and Natasha. In answer to the question asked, she would like to invite her neighbours over for a drink as long as it's not alcoholic.Lisa chose the'Paint' icon for her final question.
