Greg is really getting on my nerves! I don't think I've ever seen a contestant more annoying than him on this show!

Why does the other contestant always pretend to be rooting for them to win? It's usually women who do this.

"I think Stacey is too young to know what Dallas means."
"Even Stacey should know this."

I have never seen such an arrogant bighead! So glad he's not in the final!

Lovely girl - pity she didn't win the £10k, but she still got something.

Isnt that where the sufferer has hair growth reversal and it stops hair growing on top of your head and comes out through your face instead. Another side effect is that it makes the person very irritating to observe.

She's not the only one.
Odd that you replied to another poster and repeated your allegation that the game is fixed, but ignored my post in reply to your initial allegation, in which I gave three reasons ( the random factor, the scandal that would ensue, and the presence of the Independent Adjudicator) why it almost certainly isn't fixed.

If you don't accept any of my reasons, fine, but you could at least reply to them, saying why not. But if you really believe it's fixed, and don't want to enter into debate on why you believe that, why do you bother to watch the show and comment on here? I mean if what you say is true, the producers can control how the counters fall into the machine, so they could easily affect who wins. Or do they let the first part of the game get played out honestly, and then only start fixing the counter drops in the jackpot round, depending on whether or not they want the jackpot to be won?

Well, you tell me.

I was less than impressed with Greg today on the Jack Ruby/Dallas question. He said he probably knew the answer, but he was going to pass it, because he was sure his opponent wouldn't know it.

This is foolish. When she said she had no idea, Ben asked him what he thought the answer was, and he said, "Lee Harvey Oswald". But if you know that name, and know anything about the assassination of JFK, it's obviously the correct answer. There are not really any other plausible wrong answers. If you know what is almost certainly the right answer, just say it. Don't try to be clever by passing it because you think your opponent won't know it. You might get a nasty shock.

I completely agree. There are times when someone says I think I know the answer but I will pass it to my opponent and the opponent answers it correctly. Ben then asks the original person what would you have said and they give the same answer. As you said, if they know answer why not say it!

Ben's getting as bad as some of the contestants now. One question was something like, what was the Spanish Armada made up of? The contestant's answer was Ships. Ben replied correct, I would have accepted warships or "boats"..... Boats?????

I can just imagine all the Spaniards rowing the Armada fleet.

Perhaps they're just genuinely nice people.
There are still quite a few of them about.

I agree, such a silly thing to do, would love her to have got it right

A friend of a friend was the policeman stood next to Lee Harvey Oswald when Jack Ruby shot him

On today's show:

Q: Counting to ten starting at zero what is the first even number?
A: Two.

This was given as correct but the first even number starting at zero is zero.

Ah, I see, the implication being that I must be nasty to say such a thing. You can be nice and still want to win.

I was implying no such thing.
I know nothing about you.
