Yes I couldn't believe that! I am watching this for the first time. I can't believe how easy the questions are and how thick the players are! Very cringeworthy

Slovakia is a European country isnt it?

Lazio isnt an Italian City and who has ever heard of Udine?

Not an unreasonable guess if you know sod all about European football

I wonder how many hugs Ben will be giving Louise in the final
Perhaps he can just blow a raspberry while burying his face in her cleavage.
Ben has got his work cut out if Louise wins the jackpot, no lift off the feet hugs.
She bats for the other side Ben won't be charging across the floor today.

It was an embarrassed grip of the hand, wasn't it?

Fancy blowing her winnings on a makeover and photo-shoot!

Non of today's contestants have the slightest idea of timing the counter drop.

Another double counter winner in the first round getting £700 for it. I think he will end up in the final unless Mel can pull something out of the bag.

Sorry to say she didn't.

Rebecca wins the award for thickest player of the day!

Q: "Frogspawn are the eggs of which amphibian?"

A: *says nothing*

She is thick but she's been very lucky so far with the counters.

She had already answered four questions harder than that. As she said, she froze. It happens to us all at some time when asked a simple question.

They were all celebrity based questions. Not exactly harder.

Why do some of them have to go through each answer, yes, we know that Amy Winehouse is no longer with us, that is not really helping your cause is it?

She was a very lucky guesser. Fair play to her.

She did well for a "thicko" don't you think? I don't think too many women would have answered two questions on football correctly.

Well done Rebecca, enjoy your £10,000,

Yes an excellent guesser on things she had no clue on!

She did demonstrate an obvious tactic though - if you don't know anything about a subject go for 3 counters, you still have a 1 in 3 shot of getting it right by guessing.

They're obviously told to do so, in the same way they're told to comment while waiting for their counter to drop.

She did - and she and her hubby did the USA trip that she said she'd do - at least she covered 3 more states, which brings her total to 20 now.

And she's a football fanatic - used to drool over Ali McCoist years ago!

As a young man McCoist was very droolable.
Not so much now but I suppose that goes for most of us.

Once again the double counters had all the say in who went through to the last round. Then despite her lack of timing and knowledge she still somehow went away with nearly 4 thousand . Oh well thats tipping point

Not to mention that there were A LOT of counters waiting to drop in zone 1. She could've gone for those instead of the jackpot since there was NO WAY she'd get it being buried under the other counters.

I can confirm that you are most definitely NOT told to do either of those things. The people who do it are just irritating *****.
