19QOS19 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Quiz show contestants who pass rather than take a guess. Ok if it's a question like "which Iranian architect..." and you have absolutely no clue, but questions such as "which colour/which country/what animal..." Surely in that instance a guess is worthwhile. A question on The Chase just there was "Which rapper..." Surely between the 4 of them they could name a rapper?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Contestants on Countdown who dont gamble on the last numbers game when between 11 - 20 points behind. Irritates the hell out of me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54_and_counting Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 How do you mean? he means, they take 1 from the top and 5 others, which usually results in both players getting it rendering the conundrum pointless if you are more than 10 behind going into the last numbers game, stick 6 small numbers up there and hope you get there and the other person doesnt, puts you right back in it with thew conundrum to go 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 How do you mean? The contestant losing needs to get the points without his opponent doing so to make it all or nothing on the conundrum. Playing it safe by going with one large and 5 small numbers makes it easier for his opponent to not need the conundrum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) hate quiz shows where some random absolute fuckwit of the highest order flukes their way to the final round Tipping point is a prime example, the other week some thick bint got lucky that she passed and nowt dropped for her opponents, everytime she looked at the fucking machine the counters dropped like a broken puggy Made it to the final and got her first 3 questions all wrong, get it up ye hen Edited October 24, 2015 by 53_and_counting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Ah, I get what you mean now (countdown). Right enough, especially if you're confident in your counting abilities! I'd space my selections 20 seconds apart if I was on Countdown. More time to look at this beaut! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanmistermustard Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 On the Countdown theme when those in the Dictionary Corner give shorter words than those already submitted by the contestants. If its a shorter word it must never be mentioned in that round. In truth its a highly irritating show only made watchable by Rachel Riley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Dee Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Drugs and booze, m8, drugs and booze. Bollocks. You're winding us up. Quick google confirms you're part right. The Zutons took her out as her cover, o Valerie, was more successful than their original. Unfortunately, they were caught before they could get their mitts on Mark "I wish someone would take a lighter to him" Ronson. In a side factoid. Morrissey sickened, so very sickened, by Ronsons cover of Stop Me. Dee Dee was, and still is, fucking livid. #raging 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The new McDonald's advert for the pulled pork and peri peri wraps. So shite it's offensive. Have you ever been served by someone in McDonalds who even vaguely resembles that girl? I take it this is McDonalds trying to get away from the greasy McJob image and push a greasy Girl With The Dragon Tattoo image for their staff? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Scandi Noir. 'Beck' is a good series and still available on iPlayer. The Hunters is a decent (if uncomfortable) watch and is on iPlayer until tomorrow night. Set in northern Sweden and as adrift from Ikea as one could imagine. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06kq54v/the-hunters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 "The Edge" currently clogging up the telly when i'm having my breakfast. Gabby Logan is as fine a MILF as you'll find, but she's wasting her life asking half wits imbecilic (is that a word?) personal questions to keep the chat going between rounds, but it really doesn't work. She's lost in it. The idea of the game is that contestants answer really difficult questions (today - "In Lady and the Tramp", what animals were Lady and the Tramp?) and then roll a ball up a wee lane onto monetary values which they win. It's like carpet bowls for cash. She must be getting paid a stack of cash to bubject herself to this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't just get shot or stabbed, you're dismembered and / or skinned whilst still alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrdavidson95 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Watching "Bring the Noise" and I'm not sure what it's trying to be. Is it supposed to be a comedy or a straight quiz show? If it's supposed to fill the void left by Never Mind The Buzzcocks then it fails horribly. Katherine Ryan is in it, which is its only redeeming feature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
