i haven't seen it but.........
sounds to me like the old trick of naming an object that is black before naming the object that it is.

Let me guess its a mind guessing game huh???

Yes, I think that's it.

They have been guessing for about and hour and a half now, and only two of them have got it so far.

Once you know it, you really have to kick yourself for not getting it. Thanks for letting me know.

Please tell me how it is done.

I was watching for ages last night but couldn't afford to stay up any longer otherwise I wouldn't have got up for work this morning.

I was completely stuck, but totally engrossed!

Josh took Helen into the bedroom without the others knowing, and told her how to play the game.

Then, when the others were all together, he asked them to pick an object while Helen was in the bedroom.

They called Helen back in, and Josh pointed at a few items and asked Helen if it was the item that the group picked. Helen got it right everytime, but the others didn't know how.

They each thought that they had worked it out, but when they tried they got it wrong. It took about an hour and a half until they finally got it (they were given a lot of clues).

The secret to the game was that when Josh named (or pointed to) a BLACK item, the NEXT item was the correct one.

Later, Paul set another teaser about four men and a wall.

What was the answer to that? Did anyone else see that?

Oh, and Bubbles 5 letter word from HIJKLMNO, any one got that one?

I think Josh is planning more mind games tonight.
