Gameshow General Election results absolutely definitely hand on heart this weekend, sorry. I will remember not to do it in May, my busiest time of year, in future (shows basically written up, hosts yet to do!).

Enjoyed the Survivor finale (and by extension, the season) a lot, I’ll update this later this evening with some thoughts so you can have the rest of the day spoiler free.

Hang on, let me try something – discussion after the cut.

I’ve had a lovely e-mail from Only Connect asking if we’d redo the contestant call. So I will.

CONTESTANTS WANTED FOR ONLY CONNECT!

Only Connect; the quiz where general knowledge meets lateral thinking. 

Presentable are looking for contestants for series four of their popular BBC Four quiz.

Teams of three will be pitted against each other to fight for the right to call themselves Only Connect champions!

To request an application email contestants@presentable.co.uk including a telephone number.

All entries must be received by no later than Midnight on Wednesday 9th June 2010 so get your application in as soon as possible. 

If you applied for a previous series, but were unsuccessful, you are welcome to apply again for the new series.

Auditions will be held in regional centres throughout the UK.

Come on chaps and chapesses, it’s time to do the Bar proud.

Fun fact I have just discovered

I was just writing the comment for Interceptor in the Gameshow General Election (yes it is in the Top 30) and discovered the following startling fact:

Sean O’Kane is only 45.

Come on ITV, I think you understand what I’m saying here…

  • The Bother Series of Poker Game 8 (8pm UK/1500ET, Sunday, Full Tilt) BIG MONEY! Discussion page is here.
  • Survivor (Sunday, CBS) – it’s the grand final! It feels as though it’s come around quite quickly this year. Russell’s a brilliant player, but I would laugh if somebody else wins – Pavarti or Sandra would be my choice.
  • Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio Podcast (The Internet, Sunday-Wednesday I think) – This is normally worth a listen anyway, but this week’s is especially interesting because Tim Vine is the special guest, and if that wasn’t enough on its own, he has a chat about his appearance on Celebrity Mastermind.
  • Run For Money (Tuesday, Fuji TV) – I’m hoping for a task, failure of which releases AT LEAST 200 HUNT-AHS this time around. Fingers crossed someone uploads it to Youtube, albeit for a short time.
  • The Gameshow General Election Results – sometime this week. Hopefully.

Something for the weekend

Thanks to Brekkie for linking to a sneak peek of the new season of Wipeout (you’ll need to sit through an advert and a basketball-based Wipeout ad to get to the good stuff). It all looks very involved.

Also exciting, by my reckoning, is that there’s a new episode of Run For Money on Fuji TV on Sunday Tuesday night. Fingers crossed for a short-lived Youtube upload.

AND! It’s the Survivor Finale on Sunday night, which I can’t watch until Tuesday.
