Yes it is very misleading and we wouldn't have known any different if chaz rich hadn't been a contestant.

I think it depends how close to getting the coin over they are.

If it looks like it won't happen then they don't seem to do it.

I was aware the "losing" contestants didn't take their accumulated money home. The accumulated money is just for the person to get to the final and then if they want to gamble or not. I thought that was obvious?

There is nothing obvious about it.

Obvious would be if Ben said 'You leave with nothing' or if they used points for the first 3 rounds and then money for the last round.

you accumulate money in the first 3 rounds though which you can have if you don't get the jackpot and don't gamble. So points for them rounds wouldn't work. And it also kind of defeats the purpose of the machine in that you are pushing "money" out of it like the arcade machines. Points aren't as fun.

It fell to the 2nd ledge so no real excuse to see what would of happened really.

Agree. What is the point in saying they have such n such amount in pounds if they go away with nothing It should be points as it gives the viewer the impression that they take that amount home.

On another point, this show is bugging me as Ben/Production seems to favour some contestants.

Ben waited to see if anything fell for the lady who was 3rd, I think the slider went twice to see if any thing dropped yet the man in the green he had tokens fall and then milliseconds after that some more fell and Ben said he could not have them That was totally unfair imo

I find it really annoying when people buzz in before Ben has finished the question. I'm glad when it backfires on them.

When you're fighting to stay in the game, that's sometimes the best thing to do but, of course, you're taking a chance if you haven't heard the whole question.

What is annoying me is the way she keeps patting her hair.
It's as if she's hoping to be 'discovered'.
I do hope Amanda wins.

In a previous post you said that they have to count the counters manually, does this mean that the flow of the game is different from what we see?

E.g. there is more of a gap between the counters falling and Ben giving how many fell?

Cheers.

Well, she's only a teacher.
How would she know?

Yes after counters fall, someone comes to check how many there are before the game continues.

How was that cluedo question "difficult?"

This show is stupidly easy

One thing that does become annoying is the end game where once the jackpot counter is put in & the constant repeating of " Drop zone one please " over & over.

You are right to an extent but even the easy questions can go over your head, especially under the pressure of that environment.

All the questions are easy ....... if you know the answers.
I have never played Cluedo in my life so I didn't know but I am getting most of the other questions right.

Perhaps you should apply to go on the show, Damien.

Though she was lucky in some ways to reach the final, she is probably one of the cleverest contestants that has reached the final to be honest.

Well you could, within the rules, give up on going for the jackpot counter if it's in a very hard position and just go for as many £50 counters as possible. So they have to keep asking the bleeding obvious.

Your right but it just starts to become a broken record sometimes.

Though the worst ever example was this

"Question or nominate " - " question please "
