2026 Kodiak Feud

Honestly- fantastic.

Seriously the whole thing went amazing. We had over 200 folks present in the auditorium and the room was electric. It had everything: Lorax mustaches, Mike Wall talking about retirement, hyperspecific information on mooses, berets, and an ad for the concept of space.

See you next year!

The FROMAGE SQUAD

AULD  REEKIE (Mike Wall) The Head Cheese of the Fromage Squad.

When Auld Reek was a wee Wedgie he was nere more than a than a spot of in your face cheddar—young and prone to mischief---however, with age and a firm change in diet from Sliseagan and Sugh to much healthier Biadh Gasach allowed him to mellow into a more appropriate moniker. Here to BLAST AWAY all of our Feud opponents.

FETA U. (Kristie Wall) Short for Feta Uppa.

Some folks find her a little Salty and although she can easily crumble under pressure…..she rarely melts down. Let’s Get Ready to Crumble!

KIM CAMBOZOLA WRIGHT (Laura Creighton) Like her cousin Brie, she can be a little tough on the exterior but she’s warm and squishy on the inside pairing perfectly with the most sweet and spicy companions. If you’re not cheesy she’s coming for you Feudsters

BLEU (Teresa Hedges)

I am Bleu…..but in a good way, not in a sad way.

I am French so….need I say more? Non…I will say no more.

I will say more…. Blue cheese ages for a very, very long time. I have aged for a very long time.

Pas de Quoi!

Now I will say no more

LIL CHEDDAR         (Andie Wall)

Youngest on the team but already EXTRA SHARP. We’re better cheddar and looking to have a Gouda day , shredding the competition and taking home the Feud Trophy

Fresh from the beach, the audience will be graced by the presence of this bougie bunch of friends who can be seen often at other KMXT events. They are proud to raise the average net worth of the teams in the Feud.

"Ray Jones is 6 foot 7 inches tall, 23 years old, often type-cast for the gay best friend or a 12 year old boy, and only willing to do Shakespeare you give him a case of mountain dew baja blast"

"Del Rocheleau is a 24 year old psychology major who uses that knowledge for evil, and if even slightly prompted, will launch into an hour long info-dump about Twilight."

"Wetherleigh Griffin is 24 and spent 200 years studying linguistics in the frigid north, loves a good fun fact, and can cry on cue, but only if the cue is someone else crying on cue."

"Lauren Hartter is 23 years old and 300 pounds of solid muscle. Her head may be empty but her heart is full."

Dewey Decimators

FUN FACTS ABOUT OUR TEAM MEMBERS
I went to 7 countries in one year while stationed on the USCGC Rush.
I single handed an old wood sailboat up the inside passage for a week, from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert.
I used to skateboard in high heels.
I streaked a ski resort
I picked raw shrimp at Kalakala (better known as the silver slug)

OUR BIO

The Dewey Decimators formed late in the first quarter of the 21st century when it became apparent that the forces of good and evil were wildly out of balance. They know that improving access to good information sources and inspiring literature can tilt the balance back towards good. Bookish Brilliant and Bold! The Decimators are here to win this feud with their fabulous fact finding finesse and maybe a few well founded guesses and to help folks find the resources they need

Featuring: Laurie, Jennifer Jessica, Dana, and Bayli

Becky Gomez

Becky Gomez is bringing brains, bold guesses, and a little attitude to Kodiak Feud. A busy mom with strong opinions and zero fear of the buzzer, she’s ready to prove she knows what Kodiak thinks… or at least convince everyone she does.

Adrienne Taalak

Adrienne Taalak: wrangling three boys and a 100-pound Bernese Mountain Dog diva, armed with two degrees and smart… but only on her terms. Laughter, chaos, and a little spice follow her everywhere - Kodiak Feud, beware!

Samantha Oliver

Samantha Oliver: Kodiak native, obsessed with good food, wrangling family, and sneaking in adventures when she can. She’s here to feed the competition good vibes and the laughs on Kodiak Feud!

Alicia Flores

Alicia Flores loves the ocean, the land, and protecting the earth—but she’s currently outnumbered by a toddler. With bubbly energy and zero hesitation, Alicia brings big personality, mom humor, and bold confidence to Kodiak Feud.

Drake Richards

Drake moved to Kodiak in 2024 for some reason and has stayed because he loves the community. He is a KMXT trivia FIEND (jk he's carried by his s/o Wetherleigh). He looks vaguely like European depictions of Jesus.

This team is definitely Bearly Related except for the two 3/4 sisters but all sort of know each other because we are here on this awesome island supporting our amazing radio host KMXT!

Dr. Wellner and the Neurotransmitters (and one hormone)
Amber Wellner a.k.a. Pseudo-Doctor
She manipulates the neurotransmitters with medication and then waits six weeks.
When not practicing for family feud she practices psychiatry as a psychiatric nurse practitioner at Providence counseling.

Veronica Samaniego a.k.a. Norepinephrine
She improves focus, then makes every email feel like a fire alarm. While spending most of her time in the synaptic cleft, Veronica also works as a therapist at Sound Mental Health.

Debbie-Lynn Gibson a.k.a. Gamma aminobutyric acid. She calms the nervous system, then caffeine ruins everything. When not helping impulses cross the synapse she works at Providence counseling center as a psychotherapist - emphasis on “psycho”.

Laura Mullican a.k.a. Dopamine. She makes things feel rewarding, then nothing ever satisfies you again. Don’t let her name fool you though, she’s no dope! She helped her team win second place in the spelling bee! She also does a little moonlighting at Providence as a communications specialist.

Ruth Jones a.k.a. Cortisol. The token hormone of our group, she helps you survive stress, then your clothes stop fitting. While, she works differently than the rest of us, her work is just as important! In fact, just like her work as a therapist at Providence counseling, she regulates systems long-term!

Team ButterNut Squash will be making their debut in the Kodiak Feud. brought together by Kodiak Assisted Living, this team has lots of enthusiasm and love for K-Pop.
Featuring:
Hannah, who loves BTS and sleeping,
Brenan Anthony, a game lover and a charming person who loves BlackPink songs
Peter, a Bruno Mars Stan
Kyra, loves some Backstreet boys and just boys in general! One time she laughed so hard she lost a tooth
and finally
Crystle, famously known for being a genuinely good person and a SMOOTH dancer.
