Some idiot just used all her four lifelines on this question:


Her geography teacher friend was 50 % certain it was in Quebec. Then she used 50:50 to get rid of Nova Scotia and Alberta. Then asked Jeremy who had no clue. Then asked the audience before answering Quebec :lol:

Yeah, that was stupid. Even dumber asking the audience last, because speculative discussion beforehand can influence their decision rightly or wrongly. Just ask the audience to begin with. She was lucky after this that she stormed through her next two questions before she went.

This guy on now.. that Belize question for 125K was ridiculously easy.

They should have a time limit on how long someone can take on a question, the show is so agonisingly painful to watch as it just drags on and on whilst Jeremy chats shit for ages. There was a woman in a recent episode who knew the answer, had used no lifelines and ended up dragging it on for 25 minutes before using two lifelines to confirm what she already knew.

Agree with this. The built up drama is so stupid. I much rather the Chase because it's quick and to the point and Bradley Walsh is one of the most likeable TV personalities out there.

This was fecking infuriating.

As was the decision making process later in the show that saw him ask the audience for the Dracula question. Why would you assume that a bunch of random people off the street knew the first line to a novel? It was a pretty easy question if you'd read either of those books (even if you don't remember the first line the format is different), but if you hadn't it was impossible to guess with any accuracy.

Yeah that got me too. The bloke was an analyst or risk assessor by trade wasn’t he?

At £125k, he took an 80% gamble on a book query from people with only 2 answers to guess from. They had already been influenced by his initial assessment too, which he declared that he knew nothing of but was guessing. Therefore those that didn’t know were likely to follow his lead thus inflating any percentage figures. Then when you consider that the question at hand would be fairly obscure knowledge amongst a generic television quiz show audience, he then proceeded to ignore the 1 in 5 entirely and risk (lose) £93k.

Ask the audience should only be used on easy questions.

I was proper rooting for him. Especially with Jeremy taking the mick out of him. It would've been hilarious if he lucked out to the mil, but it wasn't to be :(
