Not everyone. I wouldn't say white with black stripes or black with white stripes. I have always regarded that zebras have black and white stripes. That's why I couldn't understand Anne's confusion over the football question.

Hence why I said 'most'

I did a quick google on 'What colour are a zebra's stripes' and the top link I got was http://animals.howstuffworks.com/mam...ra-stripes.htm

That's not to prove that one way of saying it is correct or not, but just to show that the idea of the stripes being one of the two colours is a valid way of viewing it for many...

It's not a bad question. If you know the answer you say black and white or white and black. The order is irrelevant.

And moving swiftly onto today's show.....

Sinnerman chasing today

Unlucky questions there for Chris.

That was short and sweet, good player out already.

Stephen Poliakoff is one of my favourite playwrights although I'm often disappointed by his endings.

One of them said, "best to take the seven because we don't know what sort of form Paul's on today."

I will never understand why people keep going on about the Chasers being "on form" or "out of form". To me it's meaningless to talk about "form" on a quiz show.

If a Chaser gets more questions wrong than usual, then all it means it they got more questions than usual that they didn't know the answer to. And that's all it means. it doesn't mean they're "out of form". It's a quiz. You either know the answer or you don't.

Tennis, snooker, many individual sports are very form related.

Quizzing is not.

Oh no

I'm afraid so!

Yes, I always find that ridiculous as well - as if on certain days, the Chaser just can't remember much general knowledge at all. Though I suppose if s/he had a raging hangover or something...

I'm so glad Brad isn't wearing a striped shirt today

Yeah, I'm sick of the sight of that purple striped one he wears frequently.

The black stripes do complement it well though

very bad players today on here and on TP.

You think? I reckon the questions have been trickier than usual. I had no clue about Graham crackers.

Calm down dear.
It's only a game.

Everyone's a Winner

Digestives are nothing like crackers.

They all did OK in their Cashbuilders. I think they all got at least five right. That's hardly "very bad". They've just not known the answers when they've got to the head to head. And the questions have been pretty tough.

Paul's just knocked out the third player. He's certainly "on form" today.

Paul's on form today

What's the point in taking the middle offer, when you're the only player left? If you can't beat him at the table, what chance do you have in the final chase?

Brad to contestant 15 right thats £15000, however you're a better player than that.
Contestant **** off.

Paul in good singing form today

To me if the first three get knocked out then the high offer's virtually a mandatory play for the last player no matter how good or bad they are. It's just too much to pass up, bearing in mind you'll get the whole lot to yourself if you win it.
