The TV Quiz Show Thread

Sometimes celebrity contestants on things like Pointless seem to not really try, or act a bit dumb. Is this because they think its uncool or bad for their image if they appear to be a bit too keen, swotty or knowledgeable?
Almost anyone can be a celebrity these days, just as almost anyone can be thick.

Because someone can 'Influence' , sing, act etc does not mean they've anything more in their head other than clouds.

In my opinion it is more likely to be because they are actually as thick as mince.

Not exactly the same as an average joe getting an appearance on the show is it?

They get paid to be there and can raise some money for charity, good chance of being invited back too.

Can see why they wouldn't really do some general knowledge cramming unless super competitive and their ego was turned on by winning a quiz.
 
Saw for the first time during the week the new version of "A question of sport". By the way, it is pure rubbish.

Ugo Monje, team captain was asked to name the two teams with the most league titles in the Premier league area.
United and liverpool was his answer.

I mean, he's a sports star himself.

Maybe he just misheard the question?

What is the answer?
 
Which two teams have won the most rugby Premiership titles since it started?

I haven’t got a clue. Maybe Monje doesn’t follow football. I bet half the people on here wouldn’t get the answer right.
Alan, are you deliberately awkward and argumentative or does it take a lot of practice?

:-)

Just askin'
