I have to say, I’m loving the current set-to between Ben and the Chest of Drawers of Temptation – good on him for standing up for himself, I say. It’s also worth watching the follow up Tree conversations in the news as well.
However, my V+ box stuffed up last night’s recording and I’m unsure how bothered I am to continue watching. Still, three weeks is about three weeks better than I watched last year, so that OFFICIALLY makes BB 11 better than BB 10. Well done!
One of my favourite buildings in the entire world, and certainly my favourite place to go and see things being taped – BBC Television Centre – is 50 today.
Come on, how can you sell this off?
In other news, I’m aware that ads for 101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow have started appearing, although I’ve not caught one yet. I do know it starts on Saturday July 10th, which is the night Fort Boyard starts also.
Has Run For Money turned up anywhere yet, anyone?
Here’s something mildly interesting, what the results of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 would have been like if it was only jury or televote.
Basically: Germany was universally liked, the UK universally disliked, and the juries didn’t like the French nearly as much as viewing public.
Today I revisited Minute to Win It. I originally thought it was a bit dull and stodgy, but time has been kind to it and recent episodes are mildly entertaining – nothing to set the world alight, but good fun.
Anyway, it’s come to my attention that there’s now an Australian version. It’s OK, although I get the feeling the more difficult games get played earlier than they do in the US. But the big question is: Darren McMullen – what is that accent?
Andrew Smith has won the Bother Series of Poker. The official results are now up!
I’d just like to thank everyone who took part for taking part, I had a lot of fun running it and enjoyed the chat especially. Commiserations to Simon Fox, who probably deserved better on account of his shorter stack games but never really got the results in the specials. And commiserations to Greg Bananaman, last year’s champion who now passes the baton.
Hopefully it will be back next year a bit bigger – if you didn’t play, you missed on a lot of fun. And rather a large amount of my money, ahem.
Look out for a new competition soon, Fantasy X Factor in the Autumn, and possibly a one-off HORSE Hilarity poker tourney sometime in the interim. And if winners want to pose with prizes and trophies, do send your pictures in.
July!
So there we are. Otherwise, if you like sport you are plenty catered for this week.
Edit: Today’s (i.e. Sunday’s) Deal or No Deal is well worth a watch, I’m told.
