Well the smug but good Alesmen made very short work of their wall. This weeks' teams are probably the best in the series so far. A shame that they were drawn against each other in the quarter finals.
I watched Monday's QF on iPlayer and cannot see why you call this team smug.
Just looked like they were quite good at working out the connections to me.
Without taking anything away from the delightful Vicky, I've got to say that Katie Bramall-Stainer is a mighty fine woman.
Some really tough questions tonight.
I know, what a pair of beauties.
I mean of course, Katie and Victoria. I don't know which one to choose, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, well, more between two soft, downy, pillowy places.
I couldn't concentrate on the questions either, thus proving something oft said about men.
I think they made a slight error on tonight's programme. Victoria stated that Kalingrad was an exclave of Lithuania. Not true, it belongs to Russia. That would not have affected the outcome as the question was just about exclaves, and not which country they belonged to.
OK, I know it's terribly bad form to boast of your own achievements but I have just completed online wall number 72 in one minute forty-five seconds. And it would have been at least ten seconds less if I'd had the courage of my convictions on what the link was for one group, and pressed 'submit' immediately.

My best so far is wall 70 in 1 min 25 secs. On some of the others I haven't got a single connection.

I deliberately mess up the online wall just so that Victoria will give me a telling off.

Only just caught up with Monday's episode, but I endorse these comments wholheartedly.
I'll often think 'What a lovely pair' to myself during OC, but rarely about two human beings....
I didn't do well last week, I may have got three connections overall. I don't mind so much if the revelations satisfied but they didn't. Ninja Turtles, ********. What an idiotic question.
In my experience people only respond to questions that they feel they should have known the answer to. Once they become totally obscure they give up.

Sorry you didn't like the questions, we try our best. But I would say that most people found the Turtles question the most entertaining one on that episode.

Who would have thought that so many Daily Sport readers watched Only Connect ?
Its possible to do both you know. Feet in the gutter, reaching for the stars etc. To quote Howard Moon, I span the genres, they call me the genre spanner.

Yes. I can see where the poster is coming from re the question. However, I think it worked OK. I was never a fan of the Turtles at all, but, like most people, I suspect, I was aware of the names from when they were all the rage. I failed hopelessly at the question & kicked myself once the answer was revealed as it turned out to be so obvious. For that reason, the question worked for me (which is reallt the same reason as snoweyowl gives above for questions that people respond to).

At my bookgroup's annual quiz someone turned the names & authors of all the books we had read in the last 10 years into a "Missing Vowels" round which was brilliant fun.

Without wishing to sound like I'm sucking up too much, I liked the Ninja Turtles question (and not just because I got it). It's one of those questions that sets OC apart, as you have to draw on a whole range of knowledge, rather than just a very narrow set.
Similarly, there was a question relating to the Blackadder periods that I thought was really good.
I disagree. The children's TV questions tend to be very easy for those who were the right age at the time and not something that others should really need to know as part of their general knowledge. I prefer the questions on geography, history, politics etc. Still, the TV questions are bearable if kept to the present limited number.

Or am I just being smug?
Semi Finals tonight
Some really tough questions tonight.
She has the Rubenesque curvatious form in all the correct proportions and im ashamed to have had lustful thoughts for her lavacious laciferous self.
Your a stunner Victoria.:cool:

Or in other words she has cracking tits.
Can't argue with that, I spend more time looking at her cleavage than I do listening to the questions

I'd prefer it if she was full of me.

That's one of the few I actually got!
