Go go Team Cowboy!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Only Connect <\/strong>(8:30pm, Monday, BBC4): it&#8217;s the first quarter final so the questions are set to be a little harder than usual (although it was nice to see two teams get lots of big point questions last week, good AGGRESSIVE play as we say in poker), this week it&#8217;s the housewives favourites the Exeter Alumini vs the Archers Admirers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Krypton Factor<\/strong> (7:30pm, Tuesday, ITV1): the second semi this week, and goodness, how much did those audience shots add to the show? Well worth dropping the intelligence test for, that&#8217;s what I say. Don&#8217;t know if the audience coloured lighting was in effect, it didn&#8217;t look very obvious on screen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Whole 19 Yards <\/strong>(Wednesday, Pinewood Studios) &#8211; look out an audience report on Wednesday. Why not try and predict a) how many references to Vernon Kay&#8217;s saucy text scandal the warm-up man will make and b) how far over the predicted 8:15pm approximate finish time the recording will overrun to? If you&#8217;re reading from Endemol &#8211; get your old <em>Total Wipeout<\/em> episodes on standby, it genuinely worked brilliantly last time.

Still though. I confidently\u00a0predict this episode to be like the last, but with one fewer person in it.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bothersbar.co.uk\/?page_id=355\">The Bother Series of Poker <\/a>Game 3<\/strong>: Actually next Sunday.
