Oh, there will always a worse bunch somewhere! I assume those rejected for Only Connect end up finding an extra couple of pals and going on Eggheads!

That one with the doughnut was a bit easy IMO.

Bit easy for the bakers, I thought -- that hole question! The other team said salad dressing, not sure why Victoria refused it, or the colours one.
Got all the missing vowels for Operation

I wanted to see more of the TV shows set in the 50s category.

Was the sequence question involving holes the easiest question there has ever been on Only Connect? I know questions get harder as the tournament progresses but really... |

I agree, that was a very harsh decision, especially when they did say dressings a number of times - VC has let contestants get away with much more vague / waffly answers on the wall in the past. Although, she did give them the "wave" question when she perhaps shouldn't, so maybe that was their one chance?
I still think they're sneaking in these stupid questions as a way of preparing us for the quality of show we'll get after davidbod has left ![]() I can imagine some teams not believing that holes was the right answer, however obvious, and wasting time trying to find something obscure. It also gives a brave team the chance to go after one clue and get a high score. |

I got the holes one on pic two (bowling ball), the wrong colour names in two and sine wave on the first clue (but in real life, I'd have waited for the second clue to be sure). Beating the teams all three times.
I think it is definitely getting easier. I'm usually lucky to get any after 3 clues, and that 's with listening to the teams' ideas! |

Round 2 was a lot easier than usual. West Yorkshire ... Greater London also straightforward.

I've only known her as an Aussie and didn't know she was born in the UK, so that would have thrown me off. |

For the colours one the relevant answer was that the colour in the name was not representative of the object, eg the green card being white...they had simply said that they all had colours in the name, which was technically true but not in the spirit of the game.

Also, is the pronunciation of Don Quixote down to the individuals preference?
I always thought it was ki-HO-teh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Qui..._pronunciation |

The word 'salad dressing' came out of his mouth and the answer on screen was 'salad dressing'.

I thought her going on about Joplin being so far away from the answer was unfair because I didn't know the ONJ represented the UK.
I've only known her as an Aussie and didn't know she was born in the UK, so that would have thrown me off. The one comment I did think was unfair was the one about the misnamed colours when VC-M said she couldn't accept their answer "partly because there's already been a mistake in your gloss of the answers", referring to the fact they thought the first picture was a black rhino instead of a white rhino.The simple fact is that both types of rhinos are misnamed, so it didn't really matter which one they thought it was. |
