The TV Quiz Show Thread

I've watched The Wheel a couple of times and can't work out whether it's shite or dross. Michael McIntyre doesn't help as he simply acts the twat throughout. Perhaps it's not acting.
It's not as bad as Deal or No Deal but that's hardly a great endorsement.
 
Just watched Celebrity Chase.
Only knew one of them, the Vicar that used to be in The Communards (didn't he pass away a few months back?)

Q. The o2 Arena in London sits on what river?
A. (worrying pause,,,,) Greenwich

I hope he didn’t otherwise his ghost was on Im a Celebrity a month ago!
His ghost must have a good agent as he was also on The Last Leg on Friday and that's a live show.
 
Christmas "weakest Link" has just come on, with possibly the thickest set of celebrity non-entities ever. The first round was incredible - I commend it to you. But the first wrong answer was:-

Q:People in glass houses shouldn't throw what - parties or stones?
Answer: Sticks.

Q: Contestants winning at an Olympic games get what medal named after a precious metal?
A: Pass

You couldn't make it up.

One of the biggest thickos ever on The Chase

1. Which team won the Scottish 3rd Division in 2013?
Celtic, Hearts, Rangers. He went Celtic

2. A statue of Nelson Mandela stands in which London Square?
Sloane Sq, Parliament Sq, Trafalger Sq. He went Trafalger

Can't recall the question he went out on but it was an equally ridiculous answer.

The next one came up and when asked who scored his last hatrick for England in 1991, he answered Ian Rush!

I reckon a lot of these contestants originally applied to go on Catchphrase or some Guess the fuckin Picture kind of quiz show. That first guy was well out of his depth on The Chase.

The third one he got wrong and was knocked out was
Which of these bands was Roy Wood not a member of?
ELO, The Move, Pink Floyd.
He went with The Move

In his cash builder he had a question
Which of the sciences would you use (some science term / phrase given).
Immediately I thought physics, chemistry or biology and went with physics (which was correct)
He said “maths” lol

Very standard questions. What's the point of going on a general knowledge quiz show, if your general knowledge is below average? You should know...
;p

Bum question. Wood was a member of both ELO and the Move.

There was one guy who ended up on The Chase who admitted he meant to apply for The Hunted (which I assume is a survival show rather than a quiz).
