But since when were specialist subject rounds so short? She only got 10 questions! (I got 6 too).

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

Most of my Creation is also from KOOGS except the House of Love and Oasis and Teenage Fanclub and Ride CDs ... come to think of it maybe not that much is from KOOGS after all.

the second UC semi final wasn't as good.
the Only Connect final, the pvr cut off the first 5 minutes so i missed the setup and the reason she was drinking all the way through (although i guess it was the final).
anyway, i laughed at the two nightmare-looking walls. except...

was pleased that Monkman lost but god bless him he looked genuinely congratulatory

But the best team won and fuckit, a team that let monkman do all the work can't complain when he shot his load a bit

Tho I've rarely seen such easy sets of five pointers, so missing the ten was costly every time.

I didn't see any of this series, so didn't see Monkman, I'm just glad he lost so I don't have to hear about him again.
― Punnet of the Grapes (Tom D.), Tuesday, 11 April 2017 10:05 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, he gave away lots of five pointers.
Having said that, isn't it that he should only get five points deducted if he interrupted the question? Fair few times, Paxo passed it over with no more of he question to relate.
― Mark G, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 10:22 (seven years ago) link
Nah they got hammered with those penalties, without them Wolfson would probably have won

“I am surprised that so many people think I am angry,” he told Cambridge News.“I am generally not an angry person, and my mannerisms are a result of intense concentration, not anger. I like to bring this concentration to every activity I participate in that requires it, whether it is taking a note at my old job or playing on a televised quiz show.”

The standard of contestants is wildy variable, but the questions are usually pretty good. Once you teach yourself to find Sandi Toksvig's endless "been there, done that" anecdotes charming, it's OK.

only care about good questions and 15 to 1 is the only one bar UC that delivers

The Chase >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Eggheads in terms of good questions, and there's a huge amount of them in one show.
Eggheads might have the worst questions of any TV quiz show ever - either blatantly obvious or mind-numbingly dull with no middle ground, and some of the stupidest multiple-choice options ever - things like "When did Wham have their first hit, was in the 1960s, 1980s or 2000s" level of inanity. Then you come up against some fucking bullshit that usually reserved for a pub triv machine that doesn't want to pay out, like FIFA world rankings of crap countries with only a one-point margin of error in the multiple choices. I've never come away from an episode of Eggheads feeling I've learned something useful and also Jeremy Vine is terrible.

too slow as well, i want to watch a bunch of questions, not a dozen with aching gaps between them
