[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

One of the women on there was a right daft woman!

Name the top 10 Italian football teams, two of her answers were Barcelona and Madrid! How the fuck can you not have the basic geographical knowledge to know those two places aren't in Italy. She obviously loses her round and is sent away.

Team mate forfeits a grand to bring her back for the grand final and her answer to 'name top ten largest South American countries' was Hungary!! How the fuck can you be so stupid?

Ironically her name was Devon, wonder if she knows where that place is.

Probably thinks it's another South American country!

Which Hawaiian country was it?

 

[aguero93:20]

Just watched the back end of Tenable. Which are the ten largest countries in SOUTH America? They got seven but the last three included two from Central America and Hawaii. I'm surprised one of 'em didn't say the Isle of Wight.

Pathetic, it's all bar Guyana and Suriname.

Brazil
Colombia
Peru
Argentina
Bolivia
Paraguay
Uruguay
Venezuela
Ecuador
Chile

A lad at work went on Wheel of Fortune I think it was and won £20k and he and another Woman who’d also won money the same day (they filmed 2 episodes in one day apparently) had to chase ITV to get their money -it went on for months cos the Dosh wasn’t coming!!

Ha ha brilliant.
I used to do a similar thing with antiques roadshow, my misses at the time thought I was fucking lovejoy, given that I used to value every item within a few quid of the expert. Throw in a few references to where it was made and what period, just before he does, and boom lol.

To be fair, the Chase producers can either make or break contestants.

According to a colleaue who went on the show, on the application (no, I've not been on it) you are asked to mention your strong topics and topics you know nothing about.

So in the actual show the questions could be related to your stronger topics or all related to topics you know nothing about hence why some folk look awful..

So the smart thing would be to double bluff, interesting.

Reminds me of a story from the early days of the lottery
Some woman thought it would be a bit of a laugh to buy a ticket with the previous weeks winning numbers on it and give it to her partner
she had already recorded the previous saturday's draw and re-played it on the telly whilst hubby was sitting watching with the ticket in his hand gradually getting more and more excited as his numbers came in
I'm sure everyone had a good laugh at that jolly wheeze ;)

Some of those "celebrity" versions of Catchphrase expose some incredibly thick celebs.
