I guess it'll be a hit. Going against The Million Pound Drop I suppose ?? He can't resist competition it seems......

[Jords]

Sounds exciting, should be a good watch!

[Kerry]

I saw them on TV earlier talking about it. Dec really seems to be pulling Ant's strings these days and they seem less of a 'duo'. Ant looked bored rigid. Hope I was just seeing things :D

[Jordan.]

Ant and Dec hosting a prime time ITV show? Original...

I'll be sticking with MPD :hugesmile:

Not sure if they clash. This just looks like a week one off

[arista]

The Bloated BBC fear this
as Simons ITV1HD gets all the viewers.


This is a Big Money Win
so it will be a hit.


Shame its only on for a week
at a time.

[Beastie]

MPD >>>> Cancer >>>>>> Red or Black.

yay gambling <3

The ads have started. Pretty early! I'm sure it said it was an Autumn launch!

Yes King Simon knows the way.

[michael21]

Yes King Simon knows the way.

you are wrong simon is not king :nono:

[Lee.]

Remember James Boyd, The "Fererro Roches man" on BGT? Well his mam's going on this programme and she's barking I tell you! Absolutely barking!

[joeysteele]

Likely worth watching if only for her then.

[Kerry]

Starts on Saturday at 7PM

[Joelle.]

It sounds like it could be a rip off of C5s Head or Tails with Justin Lee Collins. The difference is, this wont be a flop as long as its got Cowell involved.

Plus Ant and Dec and a few million quid

[Kerry]

Mind you, it's only on for the week

[Callum]

Starts in 5 minutes, they've taken a leaf out of MPD's book and got online gaming on the website.

[Callum]

Also with a performance from Leona Lewis. I looked on the EPG and every day apart from Friday (Jessie J) has a SyCo act performing.

[Maia]

Seems very overhyped if I'm honest.

[Locke.]

Am I right in thinking Pixie Lott is on it?

Can't be bothered watching otherwise

[Locke.]

Was that Fabregas :suspect:

[Callum]

Pixie on tomorrow's show

[Maia]

Pixie Lott's on it? If she is then I'll watch. Otherwise, Doctor Who >

[King Gizzard]

Love how they've built it up to have such an amazing prize fund but in reality there's a very very very very very very slim chance you'll get even percentage of it

[Maia]

Pixie on tomorrow's show

K must remember to watch it tomorrow.

[Niamh.]

Just turned this on, is it any good?

[Locke.]

Just turned this on, is it any good?

Yes the opening 45 seconds have got to have been the most thrilling of all time

[Niamh.]

Yes the opening 45 seconds have got to have been the most thrilling of all time

Oh lmao is this the first show?

[Jordan.]

Angel from BB10 is on this and wins 1M apparantely :joker:

[Roy Mars III]

This seems rather silly, to be honest.

[Shaun]

this is surprisingly good for an ITV gameshow with Ant and Dec

[Callum]

I hate how they keep using Inception music

[Callum]

Angel :D

[BringItOn]

I'm liking it :)

[BringItOn]

There's Angel :D

[-=-Razor-=-]

Hahahaha oh dear angel

[Marc]

Did I just see Angel? From BB

[Callum]

Angel :(

[Marc]

Yep.. definitely did.

[Vicky.]

Yes the opening 45 seconds have got to have been the most thrilling of all time

LOL :laugh2:

[Marc]

So is this all just chance?

[Marc]

This game would make me completely paranoid that karma was getting to me or that I deserved to lose :joker:

[Jordan.]

Angel for eurovision!

[Jackie]

Angel didnt like her very much.

[Marsh.]

Go Angel!

[Locke.]

Trying to eat my tea and Angel comes on the screen :bored:

[Marc]

Angel FTW

[Callum]

Angel ftw :worship:

[Marc]

Callum.. get your own saying... gawd..

[Callum]

:amazed: Angel

[Jordan.]

Leona is going to make Angel win, i'm feeling the tibb connection between the two.

[Marsh.]

Have they spent a fortune for the Inception soundtrack or something? Get your own music.

[-=-Razor-=-]

She actually looked kinda pretty :S

[Callum]

Have they spent a fortune for the Inception soundtrack or something? Get your own music.

My thoughts exactly

[Marsh.]

What's with the teddy? ...and the socks? :yuk:

On another note, the online game is pointless. With MPD your actually answering questions, with this you just pick a colour every half hour or so and get bombarded with a load of adverts.

[Niamh.]

hhhmmm It's a bit **** tbh

[Jordan.]

Do we really need to know about the contestants?

[Marsh.]

It's just X Factor without the singing.

[Smithy]

omg :bored:

[Jordan.]

Famous :joker:

[Marc]

She isn't a celebrity.

[Locke.]

You're not a famous celebrity you bloody idiot

[Marc]

She needs a smack.

And to think I used to like her in BB :yuk:

[Maia]

*tunes in now Doctor Who is finished*

Angel ftw!!!!

[Locke.]

Take it as a sign mate, do a runner and don't marry that thing

[Marsh.]

Was that Janet Street Porter?

[Marsh.]

Get a job like everyone else mate.

[Locke.]

It would take more than a million for people to want to go out with you

[Marsh.]

Shoes? If she wins any money then it's a travesty. Shallow bitch.

[Marc]

The librian to win please.

Screw Angel.

[Jordan.]

It would take more than a million for people to want to go out with you

:joker:

[Locke.]

I hate them all apart from the brick layer and the single mum that was on first.

Leona :amazed:

[Marsh.]

Chosen Angel on the online game. lol

And not a fan of the new look Leona.

[Smithy]

oh dear she looks terrible

[Jordan.]

Leona should not be showing off that forehead

[Marc]

oh dear she looks terrible

least she hasn't got a penis like gaga

[Novo]

Ponyta has evolved into Rapidash

[Maia]

least she hasn't got a penis like gaga

:joker::joker::joker::joker:

[Locke.]

She looks good

[Marc]

I think she looks really nice

[Jordan.]

Ponyta has evolved into Rapidash

:laugh3:

[Smithy]

least she hasn't got a penis like gaga

you seem upset

maybe you'd like a penis like gaga?

[Marsh.]

Should have known she'd be thrown on another Simon Cowell show.
Kind of sad he has to keep going back to Leona who won 5/6 years ago as he's found no one else on Crap Factor.

[Novo]

you seem upset

maybe you'd like a penis like gaga?

He'd love a penis full stop

[Marc]

you seem upset

maybe you'd like a penis like gaga?

nope not upset.

and I do have a penis like gaga.

[Vicky.]

This song is **** :bored:

[Smithy]

He'd love a penis full stop

http://i.imgur.com/5n8zM.gif

[Maia]

Everyone looking forward to Pixie performing on this stage tomorrow after her song makes #1 on iTunes then? :dance:

[Marc]

He'd love a penis full stop

:joker:

I wont say any more, having to set an example and all on here. :idc:

[Callum]

Leona Lewis :)

[Callum]

least she hasn't got a penis like gaga

:laugh2:

[Locke.]

Angel's gone for red... Hopefully it is black then

[Marc]

Angel's gone for red... Hopefully it is black then

This.

[Callum]

Come on Angel!

[Smithy]

seems kinda unfair the decision has been made for them

[Marc]

It doesn't matter to her she's a millionaire already :laugh:

[Maia]

Yes!!!

[Marc]

Ooooh... Angel... :bored:

[Jordan.]

4 more people wanting to punch Leona in the face right now

[Novo]

Angel is going to win £1,000,000 which will be more then all the winners of Big Brother put together probably

[Callum]

Leona Lewis looks great!

[Marc]

Is that library lady still standing? She seems most genuine.

[Callum]

Angel! :D

[Jordan.]

How do they decide the order who gets first pick? :S

[Smithy]

-tries at home-

[Marsh.]

How do they decide the order who gets first pick? :S

Random selector in the ad break apparently.

[Shaun]

so is every single aspect of this game luck? Because this is just glorified gambling...

[Smithy]

this guy is ****ing useless :joker:

[Marsh.]

so is every single aspect of this game luck? Because this is just glorified gambling...

Isn't all game shows about taking a gamble? Whether it's answering questions or whatever.
And not really glorifying gambling because they haven't got anything at stake.

[Callum]

Rooting for Angel BB10

[Marc]

Yeah Shaun its all luck

[Shaun]

not very good for a world-record holder :idc:

[Marc]

Why didn't they just pick these arrows instead of showing off that crap

[Marsh.]

So the arrow throwing was pointless. lol

[Callum]

YES! :amazed:

[Jordan.]

Angel has won this :laugh2:

[Marsh.]

Angel! Angel! Angel! Angel!

[Callum]

Angel :amazed: :amazed:

[Niamh.]

they should show the other arrow to prove it's red :suspect:

[Shaun]

noone wants the guy to win :bored:

[Maia]

Angel in the final 2!! :amazed:

[-=-Razor-=-]

Please no :(

[Locke.]

**** off Angel :bored:

[BringItOn]

omg Angel lmao, hope she wins :P

[Marsh.]

So, they could all go home with nothing? Does the winner choose red or black which will hold the 1 million?

[InOne]

Jesus, Angel :joker: Suprised they let her on with her being on BB and that.

I thought Pixie Lott was on tonight but it's tomorrow, still makes it a bit more worth watching tomorrow though :evilgrin:

[Lewis.]

Seems okay I suppose, might aswell just pick eight people at random out of the 1000 and skip all of the hassle at the start.

[Kate!]

Bloody Angel! wants the money to make a film, the others are more deserving. Watchin on plus 1. Leona about to sing.brb.

[Kate!]

I swear to God, if she wins this, it takes the piss.

[Jords]

Come on Angel :worship:

[Callum]

Go Angel BB10!

[Marc]

c'mon whoever is in the final 2 with her

[Maia]

No judges crying over ridiculously average singers on this show

[Braden]

lmfao @ angel's walk.

[Maia]

Come on Angel!!!

[Marsh.]

Angel with white socks. :laugh3:

[Marc]

lmfao @ angel's walk.

I was thinking that :laugh:

[Marc]

that movie.. will fail

[Callum]

Angel!

[Locke.]

This guy has much more purpose than making a bloody film

[Niamh.]

Oh God, please let the guy win

[Jordan.]

Making a movie > treating your mother and niece.

[Marsh.]

She wants to do "Million Dollar Angel"

[Shaun]

I hate the public and their tenacity to support someone in a total luck contest. It's like setting yourself up for a fall.

[Kerry]

I'm so pee'd off Angels got this far :laugh:

[Marc]

i've been informed that somebody has already posted a spoiler as to know wins

[Jordan.]

They should do Duel like on Gladiators

[Marsh.]

The final game is a digital generated one. Hmm, I smell a rat.

[Shaun]

"I don't know. It's 50/50."

INSIGHTFUL.

[Kerry]

"I don't know. It's 50/50."

INSIGHTFUL.

:joker:

[Marc]

I win.

[Shaun]

I think it's a bit cruel to cheer someone on for Angel's loss.

[Jordan.]

Because this couldn't be fixed at all

[Marsh.]

I wish the audience would shut up.

[Marc]

why does she look upset? lol

[Shaun]

They're booing her!? What absolute wankers.

[Kerry]

Oh, the drama..........

[Lewis.]

It's not like she has done anything wrong to anyone :laugh:

[Maia]

The audience clearly hate Angel

[Marc]

They're completely against her.. :-/

[Jordan.]

Obviously a female audience

[Callum]

C'mon Angel

[Vicky.]

The final game is a digital generated one. Hmm, I smell a rat.

Yeah, its quite strange :suspect:

[Marsh.]

Angel speak.

[Marc]

N'aww

[Lewis.]

Why the hell are they booing her :nono: The British public are spiteful arseholes these days.

[Maia]

:bored:

[Maia]

Hope he doesn't win £1m

[Locke.]

Get in

[Kerry]

Probs as many ITV fans hate BB :joker:

[Jordan.]

Shame we wont be seeing Angel in any up coming movies...

[Shaun]

:(

i hope he loses and then dies.

[Shaun]

[/british public mentality]

[Marc]

hopefully no body wins and this silly game show fails. it's boring to follow

[Callum]

Pathetic

[Marc]

:(

i hope he loses and then dies.

[/british public mentality]

LOL it's true though..

[Kerry]

The shows a bit long winded

[Callum]

Poor Angel McKenzie

[Niamh.]

What a crap show

[Marc]

The shows a bit long winded

yep. just let him pick already

[Marsh.]

The game doesn't have any oomph. The only interesting bit happens at the end of two hours of tedium of watching shallow blonde bitches and old ladies cry at the prospect of 1 million. Then pick objects at random, not much to it. Simon Cowell probably came up with the format personally and grinned at his own genius.

Yet, Simon mate, it's Deal or No Deal spread over several days.

['Conor]

only flicked it on for the 1st time tonight, lost interest after about 5 minutes.

[Jordan.]

I wont be watching again, only did tonight because I heard Angel was on.

[Patrick]

This has to be the most fixed and dodgy game show ever.

[Maia]

Only gonna watch tomorrow for Pixie Lott, then probably won't bother.

[Jords]

Angel :(

[Niamh.]

OMG I thought he'd won, now he has to spin? ffs

[Marsh.]

Obviously fixed so a "good heart" would win so the public didn't kick off at giving money to a nutter. But I bet he'd waste it all on drugs and hookers really. **** the family.

[Marc]

OMG I thought he'd won, now he has to spin? ffs

he'll win if he gets the next right.. so it's pointless he could just lose

[Niamh.]

he'll win if he gets the next right.. so it's pointless he could just lose

I bet he loses

[Maia]

Lose please.

[Marc]

Fair enough..

[Maia]

Eughhh

[Niamh.]

awww fair dues, lucky bastard

[Jordan.]

Urgh

[Smithy]

-claps politely-

[Marc]

hardly.. well done..

for being lucky?

[Kerry]

Awwwwwwwww bless him.

[Kerry]

hardly.. well done..

for being lucky?

Only like winning the lottery though

['Conor]

he's kinda hot. #justsaying

[Marc]

Only like winning the lottery though

I wouldn't say well done for that either

[Maia]

Pixie Lott :amazed:

[Marc]

I bet no body else wins again :laugh:

[Kerry]

I wouldn't say well done for that either

Haha fair enough :D

[Marsh.]

he's kinda hot. #justsaying

I bet he is now, gold digger :hmph:

[Lewis.]

My heart was going like a drum then! Good on him!

['Conor]

I bet he is now, gold digger :hmph:

:nono:

[Marc]

I bet he is now, gold digger :hmph:

:laugh:

[InOne]

Pixie Lott :amazed:

:worship:

Apprently something special planned :evilgrin:

[Marsh.]

:worship:

Apprently something special planned :evilgrin:

She'll probably write a song with red and black as lyrics and they have to decide whether red will be said the most or black in the song. lol.

[InOne]

She'll probably write a song with red and black as lyrics and they have to decide whether red will be said the most or black in the song. lol.

She may also appear naked painted in half red half black :amazed:

[Callum]

Leona Lewis made me laugh on tonight's show, poor girl didn't have a clue what was going on at times. :laugh:

[Jords]

I didnt really like it tbf, the contestants wernt required to do much...

[Corkie]

What an odd show. Was supporting Angel throughout just for the crazziness of everyone being 'I'm living in poverty I need money' and she said 'I want to make a movie about myself' haha. Probably the most surreal thing i've seen in a while.

But the game she lost was a bit weird could have easily been fixed.

[Kerry]

iirc Angel said she wanted to win BB when she was on it to make a movie of her life

Yeah, like I was liking it until the sob stories started coming in. Just has Simon Cowell written all over it :bored:

Just needed that voiceover bloke to yell the names out :joker:

[joeysteele]

I watched it, then asked myself why I was,it wasn't really good, glad its only on 7 nights though.

Really glad too that the guy won the money but this is a loser gameshow for me.

[Callum]

The launch of Red or Black? was watched by 6.9m viewers on Saturday night, helping ITV1 to dominate primetime ratings.

The Simon Cowell-produced gameshow, hosted by Ant and Dec and featuring a performance from Leona Lewis, debuted to 6.41m (29.8%) between 7pm and 8.15pm (+1: 196k). It returned with 6.93m (29.9%) at 9.15pm as bricklayer Nathan Hageman became the show's first millionaire.

Sandwiched between the two Red or Black? segments, The X Factor pulled in 10.51m (43.4%) from 8.15pm (+1: 560k) for its third auditions show. ITV2's The Xtra Factor attracted 740k (3.5%) for the second largest multichannel audience of the evening (+1: 192k).

The fruits of Jonathan Ross's switch to ITV interested 3.92m (19.1%) from 9.45pm, and a further 338k watched the chatshow host interview Adele, Lewis Hamilton and Sarah Jessica Parker on timeshift.

Capping off the channel's primetime offering, The Bourne Ultimatum starring Matt Damon logged 1.75m (12.3%), with 141k (1.7%) catching up an hour later.

On BBC One, Doctor Who's 'Night Terrors' averaged 5.54m (25.9%) from 7pm, with 410k (1.9%) tuning in for Doctor Who Confidential.

Casualty logged 3.85m (15.8%) from 8.30pm, while The National Lottery: In It To Win It took 3.65m (16.4%) at 7.45pm. The last episode in this series of John Bishop's Britain amused 3.01m (13.1%)

Celebrity Big Brother fell to a series low of 1.61m (7.8%) on Channel 5 from 9.45pm. Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side had 179k (1.3%) on 5* from 10.45pm. On Channel 4, former Big Brother presenter Davina McCall's Million Pound Drop Live returned with 1.85m (8.6%) from 9.30pm (+1: 176k).

Dads' Army enthralled 2.35m (10.9%) at 9.45pm on BBC Two, building on the performances of The Normans (1.45m; 6% at 8.15pm) and coverage of the Proms (1.89m; 9.4% at 9.15pm) earlier on.

Overall, ITV1 topped primetime with 30.3% (+1: 1.3%), beating BBC One's 16.3%. BBC Two claimed third with 8.4%, ahead of Channel 4's 5.3%, and Channel 5's 3.8%.

Only launched to 6.9m :laugh: I read that it had to get between 9-10m viewers to make a profit considering how much it cost to make

[Maia]

Pixie on tonight :D

[Callum]

This show is kinda crap but I'll watch it anyway :laugh:

[Callum]

Pixie Lott up next!

[Maia]

*gets excited*

[Callum]

They keep using Hans Zimmer music from The Dark Knight and Inception on this programme :bored:

[Maia]

Alyssa ftw.

[Callum]

Pixie up next. Wish they would have them perform without the men in suitcases dancing around the stage. :laugh:

[Maia]

Pooh Corner :joker:

[Maia]

OMG!!! :amazed:

[Callum]

Wow!!!

[Callum]

Why is she miming?

[Maia]

Why is she miming?

Not sure, but she isn't now :D

[Maia]

4 Pixies :worship:

[Callum]

Pixieeeee! :laugh:

[Callum]

Another millionaire!

[arista]

Another millionaire!


Yes its a Mega power show

[Kerry]

Yay, nice one. Another winner

[Joelle.]

The best thing about this show are the performances to be honest. It's as if Cowell has just devised a show in which he can make a ****load of cash from a phone in competition and the format is just an afterthought. There really isn't much to it apart from mostly obnoxious people picking one of two colours. I prefer gameshows with questions though so i'm biased. :laugh:

[Callum]

On ITV1 & ITV1HD now

[Lewis.]

The excitement starts again!

[Callum]

It lost 2m viewers last night, wonder if it will lose many more tonight.

[Lee.]

Who are these young handsome chaps kicking the footballs?

[Locke.]

Who is performing on it tonight?

[Callum]

Il Divo

[Locke.]

Oh :\
