I’m out this evening, but don’t let that stop you from having a chat about tonight’s shows such as The Whole 19 Yards, Total Wipeout, Who Dares Wins etc.
I’ll avoid the thread until I’ve watched them in the morning.
I’d just like it known…
…that this is the best season of Survivor ever ever EVER.
The first Survivor All-Stars was also brilliant, so it seems clear to me – just let the same twenty people play it over and over in future, like they’d do on Japanese television.
Beat the Bodycombe
It started out as a Question Too Esoteric For Only Connect by Des Elmes.
It has evolved INTO A MONSTER. And still Only Connect question editor David Bodycombe can’t solve it. Yeah, taste of your own medicine, David.
So if you’re playing along at home and you still haven’t solved it, in which case DUH, here is a complete list of the clues given:
- Knight
- Aerial
- Oscilloscope
- Scottish Flag
- An upward pointing arrow
- A compass rose
- Some tortoises mating
- A triple-coloured river
- A thistle
- St Paul’s Cathedral
- A ship pointing westward
- A chevron
- Four letters in 2×2 arrangement
- A slightly colourful, slightly gibbous moon
- A 3d parallelogram turned slightly to the side with two lines running through it horizontally, conjoining in the middle.
- A spinning star
- A sort of Venn diagram in black and white
- A cake
- A lot of triangles on a flag
- Hexagons and a leopard’s head.
There can’t be many more, but if you’ve worked out the connection and can think of any other ones, feel free to add them.
Unless he’s been secretly taking the piss all afternoon.
Hole in the Schedule
Well I could have sworn it was getting the chop sometime ago, so I suppose it’s news of a sort.
In other news, QVC and Netplay TV – together at last! – to do some sort of selling things and gambling things late night on ITV1 under the none-more-nineties title The Zone.
New Old Special
Well, I just had a nightmare at the poker table (second nut flush versus rivered quads. What are the chances, eh?) so as I’m home earlier than expected, here’s a feature on an Italian card game Mercante in Fiera, as it was mentioned on the Oca post a few days ago.
Vote Early, Vote Often, and by ‘often’ I mean ONCE
Well, there are just TWO weeks left of the Gameshow General Election, Andrew Neil is preparing to grill the top three candidates for the host’s number one position over the next few days (he isn’t really). If you haven’t voted yet, then please remember to do it.
