If you intend on playing but haven&#8217;t deposited with Full Tilt yet, I advise against waiting until 7:45pm to do it, sometimes it can take a little while to go through. You should still be able to join in anytime up until 8:10 in theory, although how it will work out in practice I&#8217;m not sure. There&#8217;s no lobby chat, so I&#8217;ve put a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bothersbar.co.uk\/?page_id=569\">new page up for discussion relating to the first event<\/a>. When the game gets going, you can chat as a player or as an observer at will, in theory. Good luck!<\/li>\n<li><strong>University Challenge <\/strong>(Monday, 8pm, BBC2) I don&#8217;t normally make a habit of billing (or indeed watching) this, usually tuning in about ten minutes befre the end waiting for <em>Only Connect<\/em> to come on, and even then mainly to judge the contestants&#8217; attractiveness because yes, even I am sometimes that shallow. However, last week&#8217;s was exciting enough to warrant watching it for &#8216;proper&#8217; reasons, so <em>Uni C<\/em> gets its first outing on the Board of Excitement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Only Connect <\/strong>(Monday, 8:30pm, BBC4) But <em>Only Connect<\/em> is all about the interesting questions, and this week the people I won&#8217;t be making value judgements on are Exeter Alumini vs Gourmands. It&#8217;s the Will Young vs Giles Coren battle THE WORLD HAS BEEN WAITING FOR.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Krypton Factor <\/strong>(Tuesday, 7:30, ITV1) &#8211; this series is just sort of pootling along without really capturing anyone&#8217;s imagination, and last week I actually forgot it had been on until the Wednesday. But thankfully I was saved by the V+ Box where I&#8217;ve got it on series link and I watched it and it remains still not as good as last year but y&#8217;know, entertaining enough. It&#8217;s such a shame.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Survivor: Heroes vs Villains<\/strong> (Thursday, CBS) And probably a day later for naughty Brits. It&#8217;s the big two-oh for <em>Survivor<\/em> and\u00a0The Probstmeister (as nobody calls him) is back\u00a0for another season in Samoa with twenty previous players, some for a third time. I&#8217;m pulling for Cirie, Boston Rob or Russell to win, all of whom were brilliant players in previous seasons and none of whom won. Also if Boston Rob wins, the fans will go <em>mental<\/em> which will be funny. And it will be interesting to how much Coach will play up at &#8216;be&#8217;-ing Coach. Maybe one day we&#8217;ll get to find out what happened to <em>Tontine<\/em>. Also I was tipped-off that the third series of South African <em>Survivor<\/em> &#8211; with celebrities! has started, but that they &#8220;can&#8217;t seem to acquire it.&#8221; So there we are.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Solitary v4.0 <\/strong>(Saturday, Fox Reality) Unfortunately because it&#8217;s on right at the end of the BoE week I&#8217;ve not normally had the chance to watch the previous episode before billing the following one. So this is Episode 3, it will probably be a bit like Episode 2 but with one fewer people in it, and that&#8217;s a Brig Bother GUARANTEE.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s American reality season, which is good news for us because\u00a0that means\u00a0easy entries: The Bother Series of Poker 2010 Event 1 (Tonight, 8pm GMT\/1500 ET) &#8211; if you&#8217;re playing in this tonight then best of luck.
