must've been awful for the Bristol captain being forced to be there against her will

have we got a different thread for The Chase? guess which of this week's contestants was a uni triv machine playing friend of mine.
― Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 5 January 2017 20:32 (seven years ago) link
I assume it was yon Terry dude? He plays in a quiz league team with a friend of mine.
― ailsa, Friday, 6 January 2017 08:36 (seven years ago) link
that's the one. he was always a lovely guy, too.
― Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Friday, 6 January 2017 09:50 (seven years ago) link
straight up likeable teams tbh

Yeah..

Not getting the set up of the competition if a team getting 70 against something higher in what I'd assumed would be an elimination round has to beat 2 other teams.
― Stevolende, Monday, 23 January 2017 20:19 (seven years ago) link
How long does the competition go on if that is true? Seemed to be what Paxman said at the end. One team had to come back and beat 2 more teams while the other only had to beat one.Would have just thought one team was out.
― Stevolende, Monday, 23 January 2017 20:50 (seven years ago) link
that was episode 26/37

> must've been awful for the Bristol captain being forced to be there against her will
ha, thought i recognised her
― koogs, Monday, 23 January 2017 21:05 (seven years ago) link
i found that attitude v cool and v appealing and was intersted
― trilby mouth (darraghmac), Monday, 23 January 2017 22:10 (seven years ago) link
It's 37 episodes and so is Only Connect. OC was put to 37 eps to run alongside it, so the decision to then consign it to Friday nights is just baffling.

bobby seagull!
― koogs, Monday, 30 January 2017 21:15 (seven years ago) link
Yes. He was likeable.
― the pinefox, Tuesday, 31 January 2017 12:44 (seven years ago) link
I like how happy he was whenever his team got a question right.
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 31 January 2017 13:05 (seven years ago) link
Yes!
He was knowledgeable also.
― the pinefox, Tuesday, 31 January 2017 14:08 (seven years ago) link
i just liked his name. but he did well, yes. reasoned things out.
― koogs, Tuesday, 31 January 2017 14:15 (seven years ago) link
I was impressed by his route to Goodison Park, even tho I knew it straight away.

disliked bobby seagull

I know people who know Bobby Seagull irl. He seems very chirpy.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 31 January 2017 15:02 (seven years ago) link
wah wah waaaaaaah

Mr Jose, 48, said his son has become known as "Seagull", a name taken from the book Jonathan Livingston Seagull, because of his desire "to reach for the sky". "He has worked in a systematic way throughout the years. This is a culmination of that. He is well motivated and wants to do well."
― conrad, Tuesday, 31 January 2017 15:49 (seven years ago) link
I was so tempted to make Jonathan Livingstone jokes before I knew

Hey seagull shut the fuck up there's a good man

Not least about Johnson is her adorable lapse into Scots/Ulster when guessing
― Betsy DeVos Ayes (darraghmac), Monday, 13 February 2017 20:16 (seven years ago) link
That working-out-the-numbers one, God, I thought I'd die of boredom. Paxo seems to let them away with it though.
― ailsa, Monday, 13 February 2017 20:35 (seven years ago) link
Rudd shit ffs

Gave yerman enough time to add 120 to other numbers ffs

Rudd rallying ffs

roxy music and talking heads. ffs.

kids these days.
I'm angry too! What are we mad about!! lol xp?
― El Tomboto, Monday, 20 February 2017 20:45 (seven years ago) link
Very soft questions throughout tbh
XP you kinda need to be watching it tbrrwu
― The Perks of Being a Wall St R (darraghmac), Monday, 20 February 2017 20:51 (seven years ago) link
You don't really need to be a darts expert to know that treble 20 isn't 120, ffs.
― ailsa, Monday, 20 February 2017 21:08 (seven years ago) link
the way the girls just seemed to throw their hands up at the darts question was odd. it's just maths.
and the third of those questions (170) was by far the easiest.
― koogs, Monday, 20 February 2017 22:10 (seven years ago) link
And the linked sets of questions were cracked by knowing just one part
And the scores were still shit
Two poor poor teams
― The Perks of Being a Wall St R (darraghmac), Monday, 20 February 2017 22:20 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, no-one really covered themselves in glory. Clarke really never looked like she wanted to be there.
Anyone still watching Only Connect now they've shifted it to a Friday? Such an odd decision - they upped the number of episodes of the series to run it alongside UC then shifted it to Friday where no-one watches it.
― ailsa, Monday, 20 February 2017 22:30 (seven years ago) link
Oh, I already said that.
Sorry we must accept your first reply
― The Perks of Being a Wall St R (darraghmac), Monday, 20 February 2017 22:37 (seven years ago) link
> to Friday where no-one watches it.
those of us without a social life still do!
― koogs, Monday, 20 February 2017 22:53 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, I watch it on a Friday too. But I think interest is dwindling. Based on nothing much, really.
― ailsa, Monday, 20 February 2017 23:27 (seven years ago) link
I wish Only Connect had stayed on a Monday night.
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 09:02 (seven years ago) link
I don't know if KOOGS knows that MASTERMIND had a CREATION RECORDS section last week.
― the pinefox, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 11:08 (seven years ago) link
I did remarkably badly at that considering the amount of Creation stuff I own (lots of it given to me by koogs)
― ailsa, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 11:09 (seven years ago) link
But since when were specialist subject rounds so short? She only got 10 questions! (I got 6 too).
― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 11:36 (seven years ago) link
iirc it was because it was a semi-final (or a quarter-final? I forget), with 5 contestants and 90-second rounds instead of 3 contestants and two minutes each
― a passing spacecadet, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 11:41 (seven years ago) link
(oops, it's 4 usually, isn't it? I am just an occasional MM watcher. I saw the Creation one and got v few tbh; 90s me might have got a few more)
― a passing spacecadet, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 11:42 (seven years ago) link
xposts since they started making the questions brain-numbingly long.
