Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What U.S. state is the show set primarily in?

Answer: Louisiana

Charley, one of the three siblings in the Bordelon family, returned to her Louisiana family homestead in the pilot. She had previously moved to the west coast to pursue a life as a wife and sports agent.
2. What sport did Charley's husband play professionally?

Answer: Basketball

She was not only married to him, but was his manager. There was a scandal in the pilot about several of his teammates participating in group sex parties while on the road. The team name was the Los Angeles Gladiators.
3. Played by Rutina Wesley, which character is a journalist?

Answer: Nova

Rutina Wesley may be best known for her role on "True Blood" before landing the role of Nova on "Queen Sugar." Wesley was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her other roles included are on "Arrow," "The Cleveland Show", and "Numb3rs" among several others.
4. Ralph Angel Bordelon robbed a bank early in the episode.

Answer: False

He was an ex-convict, but not for bank robbery. In the pilot he robbed a convenience store. He walked in, stuffed some junk food in his pocket and grabbed a cold drink from the cooler. When he walked up to the counter he showed the cashier a gun and demanded the money. At least in the pilot, he wasn't arrested for the robbery.
5. Who nearly died during a child's birthday party?

Answer: Earnest

He didn't die during the party, but passed on soon after while in the hospital. He was the father of Ralph Angel, Nova and Charley. He passed on his 800-acre sugar cane farm to the three siblings.
6. What role did Ava DuVernay serve on the pilot?

Answer: Director

DuVernay was hired to write and direct the pilot by her friend and producing partner Oprah Winfrey. DuVernay, who worked as "miscellaneous crew" on nearly 100 movies and television shows during her career, is perhaps most well known for her turn as a director on "Selma".
7. Which character could have uttered the line "you're my boy Blue" to his or her biological son?

Answer: Ralph Angel

Ralph Angel was a single father, and ex-convict. Blue's mother, a drug addict, showed up during the episode to request visitation, but Ralph Angel said no.
8. Where was Davis West when he was accused in the news of raping a woman?

Answer: On the basketball court

The game was at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Video of him carrying the women into the hotel room was released during the game and the crowd started chanting about him being a rapist. His wife, Charley, walked out on the court to confront him about the allegations she saw on the news while in the stands.
9. Oprah Winfrey provided the voice of the radio DJ heard in Ralph Angel's truck.

Answer: False

Oprah Winfrey owned the network the show debuted on, and was a friend to Ava DuVernay, who wrote and directed the pilot. Winfrey serves as the executive producer on the show.

She originally was going to take the role of one of the minor characters in the pilot, but when the character was expanded to be recurring she passed on it, citing she can't be on a set every day and run a multi-billion dollar company. This was in an "Entertainment Weekly" article released prior to the pilot's debut.

The book was written by Natalie Baszile. In the book there are only two siblings. Charley was created to add extra drama for the television series.
10. Which sibling was having an affair with a married man?

Answer: Nova

In the opening scene she was shown climbing out of his bed and getting dressed. Near the end of the episode, she went to him when her dad died and he was with his wife putting their children to bed.
