The winner today is a lady who thinks that Napoleon was English.
Our education system has an awful lot to answer for. |

Usual complaint from me, her drop timing is abysmal.
How can she not see what she is doing wrong? HOW?? Riders aren't just a matter of luck, you silly woman. |

Apparently, Marvin Gaye did a duet with Cher on "Dead Ringer For Love"!

Friday's bunch were all pretty dire. With one exception - the guy who went out in the first round was the only one to get all his questions right, also didn't bugger up his timing like the old biddy either, no riders. But as luck would have it, none of his coins fell. Tough luck!

What is the point of pressing in first, especially if you are unsure of what the question is? No point at all. The first round questions are so easy when you hear the full question, you might as well just let the others fight it out.
Except for the penalty points of course |

Seeing you were on the show, do they tell you the optimum time to press? Do they explain anything about how the machine works? Do they tell you to smile inanely and say "never mind" when you've just got an answer wrong?

When they take the money what is the point in playing on?
Why bother wasting time on money they aint going to even win? Seems pointless doing that, even Deal or no Deal does the same thing. |

Except for the penalty points of course The other is passing in the head to head round because you're not sure of the answer, only to find out that your opponent says the same answer you were thinking of, and gets the point. The questions in Tipping Point are not that difficult. If you've got an idea in your head what the answer is,(as opposed to no idea at all), there's every chance it's going to be right. |

There is no point at all. What happens may or may not have happened had the trade been taken.
Me: I'll take the money, Ben. Ben: Well done. The question is, would another three counters have been enough? Let's find out. Me: Why do you do this bit? Ben: It's to find out if you would have won. Me: But it's silly. If I'd been playing for real, the counters go in at different times. They fall in different places. It's meaningless. Just because it might drop now doesn't mean it would have dropped if I'd been playing for real. It's a different universe. Ben: Well, will we just do it anyway? Me: You do if it you like, I'm away to the pub.
