Has he ever lifted one up off the ground like that before? I wonder if he'll take it further next time?

Although, to be fair, it's probably the only fun part of the job - so he makes the most of it. He looks pretty fed up the rest of the time.

Mike is the only one of them who can time his drops, and is, unsurprisingly, the only one who hasn't had a rider yet.

Dublin, that well-known Northern Irish city.

On what social networking site are users known as the Twitterari?

Facebook.

She just said she didn't know any Liverpool comedians but then said she's seen John Bishop in concert when the answer was revealed. Where does she think he comes from.

Who gave that gem of an answer?! I'm guessing Lisa...

The Twitterati question? It was Mike.

Yet another final round ruined by hopeless timing of the drop.

I suspect one of the conditions of going on the show is that you have never watched it beforehand. If it isn't then some of the contestants must be blind, brain dead, or both.

Timing the drop of the counter has been hopeless in recent shows with the contestants all bemoaning their "bad luck". It's not hard to fathom out you dozy berks!

What a stupid decision by Carrie to take the trade and throw away £3,800. The counters on the top shelf were not in the right place and she got nowhere near winning. I think Ben should have tried to talk her out of trading instead of encouraging her.

Today's player took probably one of the most foolish trades ever! There was hardly anything on the bottom shelf.

Oh dear todays contestant blew nearly 4 grand with very little chance of winning the 10 thousand jackpot given the layout of the counters. Why not be sensible and take the 4k down the bookies and put it on a 3 to 1 cert if she needed the extra money so bad. Greedy and silly woman.

I would say there was nothing on the top shelf in the right place to drop behind the jackpot counter. If she could have got a counter or two behind the jackpot counter she could have won but there was nothing on the top shelf that could have fell in the right place.

A complete waste of £3,800.

A bit lucky in my view. He was first to the 'buzzer' but he didn't know the answer straightaway. So he had a 3 second leeway in which to remember and answer What is the fifth month of the year. I'd be tougher on the fast finger no answer sort and say sorry you're gone.

Thanks. Although seeing the other 2 had over £1000 in round 2, neither of the others would have had a chance.

Yep. The guy with the beard only answered two questions correctly in his 30 second round, and he needed to drop 25 counters just to draw level. He did win a snazzy looking barbecue set, though.

I didn't think she would have gambled, because she seemed so calm and sensible prior to that decision. Maybe her view of the machine wasn't so clear as it is when watching it on tv, though, and she thought it was a better set-up than it actually was.

Watching this really brought home to me just how lacklustre Think Tank is, both in format and in it's choice of presenter.

It's a bit tenuous to class Monopoly as a hobby in my opinion.

I can't recall a programme where so many counter drops failed to get something over the bottom shelf and ended up being wasted
