I can never understand why people pass on a multiple choice question, surly it's worth a guess.
Passing in Hot Seat can be tacticly the correct thing to do. |

In Hot Seat, if you guess and get it wrong, you are out. If you pass, you may get another chance.

On Tipping Point today Ben Shephard asks this dizzy, blonde bimbo from Wales who was the monarch that the Victorian Era was named after......she passed. She got a question right about The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, though.

To be fair, not everyone knows they are different things.
The Abominable Snowman or yeti is the Asian version in the snow whereas Big Foot is the North Ameican forrest dweller. Don't school kids learn about these myths and legends? |

On today's episode of The Chase one of the questions was which language a composer's opera (I think it Wagner but can't remember the opera) was originally in. The man's answer was 'Austrian'...

One of the most famous urban myths though.
The Abominable Snowman or yeti is the Asian version in the snow whereas Big Foot is the North Ameican forrest dweller. Quote:

There's no such language as Austrian. German is the official language of Austria

Tipping point, 28th Sept.
Q: In which Andrew Lloyd Webber stage musical does a train set come to life? A: Oliver Suppose it is at least a musical, so not utterly bad. She could've passed it over to the other contestant who would have said "Midnight Express" which was wrong, but quite close to the correct "Starlight Express" |

'Tipping Point' really is a splendidly rich source for silly answers.
It's a bit like a quiz show for people who want to do a quiz but can't answer quiz questions. I have got past being annoyed at the contestants being stumped by easy questions and I'm afraid I have to admit I now actually enjoy watching the contestants struggle with them. Tee hee. And before someone feels the need to state the obvious and say 'it's not a quiz show as the main part of the game is chance in dropping the counters' or some thing along those lines - Yes I know that. That is why I put the 'a bit like' in the first part of my post. |

Everyone knows that Aled Jones recorded a song about the Abominable Snowman but he never recorded one about Big Foot.
