On one other quiz show she did, she didn’t do so well, and on another day-time (and therefore, rubbish) clearing-out-your-house TV programme she was on, I even made an appearance myself (in RHP shirt too πŸ™‚ ) I kept that one quiet wh ...[text shortened]... Rhymester. It has been repeated since, but will probably never resurface again now.

When I watch the show I always know about 80% of all the questions, so that's not a problem.

The only thing that irritates me about the show is that the 'strongest link' almost never wins.
Strategic voting and the like...

If I win, I will subscribe for another year πŸ˜›

I agree. I think the whole format is flawed. 'You are the weakest link, goodbye'.

Now, in the few times I have seen it, that person is not even close to being the weakest link...

God, I'm on telly too, and it's this week I think. A crap show called "Cash Battle". I say crap, because as captain of the team I brilliantly bet all our money on the first question. And none of us knew it. And we did the walk of shame. All over in 30 seconds. Which was half as long as the kicking I got in the carpark afterwards.

If anyone in NZ watches this travesty of a television show, our team was called Papa Lazarou. Hopefully it was on last week. None of us want to see it. If you can be bothered, knock yourselves out. The name of the game is shame.

I think the producers wanted a show where this 'X factor' counts.
People get irritated by other contestants etc. and then vote for them. Who wants to watch another game show where the clever guy answers all the questions and wins the money?

Gamesmanship, my boy...You've got to suss them out and pysch them out, just like my highschool rugby coach (D team πŸ™‚ ) said.

How are you going to avoid annoying someone or making a target of yourself?

By not singing anything!!

Jesus, there's always someone who does a horrible rendition of some useless 80's pop song.

I could be biased, but the South African presenter Fiona Coyne is a lot more evil than any of the other ones I've seen.
She's funny.

Crowley are you certainly on or what? I actually watched the british version for the first time late last week on BBC. They play for pounds, how strange, everyone in the US has too many of those already. πŸ˜›

Is she the very same one that was on the American version ? Looked/acted like Adolf Eikmann ? She fell out of the nasty tree and hit every branch on the way down!

HA!
Went for my interview this morning.
It went OK, though they seem to only want people who have 'party tricks'. God.

We had to play 2 rounds of 'pretend' Weakest Link and I was the only one to get all my questions correct in both rounds!
Sweet!

UPDATE!

Just got a call from the bastards. I wasn't selected for the show...
Dammit!
Apparently I'm not enough of a goofball.

At least I'm gonna be a 'stand-in' - if one of the contestants can't show - they call me.

Friggin consolation prize πŸ˜
