".KE is the internet domain for which African country?"
"Africa"

Bloody hell! *roll eyes*
You keep facepalming and eye rolling at these answers. People on game shows are under pressure. They're nervous. Sometimes in the speed rounds they say daft things they would never say under normal circumstances. It happens all the time. Do you think that bloke really thought that Africa was a country in Africa? No, of course he didn't. He just blurted out the word by mistake. It doesn't mean he's stupid.

When they still come up with daft answers even after they've had time to think about it, then that's more interesting.

Blimey, page 100. It's taken three years for this thread to hit a hundred pages.

Over on the Strictly threads I think they manage about that many pages every weekend.

Edit: I've just checked and the Week 4 Discussion thread runs to 75 pages, the Week 4 Spoiler thread to 65 pages, and there's dozens of other smaller threads as well.

Just shut up and answer the question before you embarrass yourself even further.

I think he was the luckiest I've ever seen with where his counters fell. He got a couple of subjects wrong, and only went for two counters on the others, but he still won the jackpot.

And he used a middle zone!

Somehow Karl managed to guess his way to winning the Jackpot despite getting the first two questions wrong and taking three, two counter questions on the way.

Buy a lottery ticket Karl.

I wouldn't watch this programme in the future if all the contestants talked as much as Aleck. He got on my nerves with his endless chatter.

It was nice to see Rufus win the jackpot last night. It's refreshing when you get a contestant on celebrity Tipping Point/Pointless etc who is genuinely a fan of the show and knows all the little tactics involved. It always annoys me when they've clearly never seen the show before and need the rules explaining mid-game.

My god Ben doesnt half change the rules to suit him Im guessing whoever he fancies.

Normally when a contestant drops a counter if the counter doesnt push anything off the tray slides back and its end of your go.

But last week Ben disreguarded this, a constestant dropped her counter and nothing fell but Ben let her go on because the two counters on the edge wobbled but didnt come off, he allowed her extra time in her turn because the shelf went back and forth 4 times before they dropped and technically she shouldnt have been allowed to have those two coins.

It was on the W channel and yes she was young, I think she had redish hair and a purple dress.

I'm expecting my episode to pop up on the W channel soon. It's already been aired 3 times on ITV1.
