[LEE]

Good evening everyone, and welcome to the latest edition of ‘Who Wants to BB a Millionaire’. :wavey:

Here's a little reminder of the rules.

I will ask each question and will then wait for the contestant to post the answer. We would appreciate it if nobody other than the contestant posts onto the thread unless they have been asked to be an ‘Ask a Friend’. Any random posts will be immediately deleted.

Each Contestant has three lifelines:

1 ‘Ask a Friend’, where you can choose one person currently online to help you. Once they have been nominated the ‘friend’ should post what he or she thinks is the answer. Admin cannot be nominated as ‘Friends’.

2. ‘50:50’, where 2 wrong answers will be removed.

3. ‘Ask for a Clue’, where, as you cannot ask the audience, you can ask us for a clue.

We cannot tell what you are doing, but we ask you to behave fairly and not look all the answers up in the book or to cheat in any other way.

BigSister stepped unexpectedly into the chair last week and scored an impressive 250,000 points. Quite a figure to beat.

Today’s contestant is ROB. She needs no introduction and here's wishing her good luck and that her BB knowledge is as good as her story writing skills. :spin2:

I’ll give you a couple of minutes to read this and then we’ll start.

:flower:

[LEE]

Question One for 100 points
What sort of animal was Paddy?

A Cat
B Dog
C Goldfish
D Chicken

[Romantic Old Bird]

OK, I've had a major incident with a piece of burnt pizza, fallen up the stairs to cries of sad, deluded old woman etc, which is just OH's way of saying good luck, couldn't log on, couldn't read my name, so...........................sounds like I'm raring to go to me!

Ok, chocks away Ginger!

[LEE]

:laugh:

Ok, note the deliberate mistake of posting the question twice, once with the answer still marked!!! - lol - you just can't get the staff these days can you. :joker:

As it's only question one and stupidly ridculously easy I'm just going to leave it, but sorry ROB it won't happen again on the later questions.

:dazzler:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Erm, I think it was a little white doggy!

[LEE]

Well done ROB, you've taken that first step towards a Million. :spin2:

I'm so glad I've got that lovely avator of Mr Clarke, because whilst I am waiting to read the next question, i can gaze upon his lovely little face. Eyes left!!!

[Romantic Old Bird]

Sorry!

This one is not as easy as I hoped!

Well, I've heard it called the james Bond love shack, the hut and the den, but to me it will always be

'the den'.

I really hope that's the 'official' title1

The eponymous Big G, but it was only on and off!

Question Four for 500 points
Which Housemate brought a Backgammon set into the house?

A Elizabeth
B Narinder

The backgammon was brought in by Josh.

[LEE]

It did indeed sound good ROB, as did your last answer. Josh did bring the Backgammon set in to the house. :hugesmile:

Big deep breath.........

No, it was of course, Rhoda, and she, sniff, sniff,sniff, MISSED her best friend Rhoda, because Rhoda was her best friend in the whole world!

[LEE]

Are you sure she wasn't crying about Rachael, ROB?

Final answer?

[Romantic Old Bird]

[Romantic Old Bird]

Can I just say :shocked:
Are you sure this isn't the 1 million point question? AAAAAARRRGGGH!

I'm thinking, but I might have to use a life-line here!

[LEE]

Sorry ROB, I didn't think it was that hard. I suppose it depends what you remeber. Sorry.

[Romantic Old Bird]

OK, I don't think I am confident enough to guess. Can I have a clue please. This is not cool!

[LEE]

Add some zeroes to a gentleman from Reading.


:devil:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Is there anybody out there?

[LEE]

Hi ROB, I'm here, and I've just given you a clue.

:hello::dance::hello:

[LEE]

ROB, are you still there.

[Romantic Old Bird]

Sorry, didn't see we had gone to page 2.
i'm not doing too well. Too much selective knowledge, not enough pan-housemate knowledge it would seem!

I don't think you'll be there much longer lee, don't worry! Early bath for me I think!

I hope your clue means it's £25K! (thanks BTW) If I'm wrong it's double:blush:

[LEE]

Thank god you've found page 2 ROB - I sent you a u2u to let you know - I thought that was the prob.

You'll be glad to know that you are right, it was 25k, and I've just had several people tell me off cos they thought that question was too hard. I'm feeling really sheepish now. :bawling:

You're doing well. Stop panicking, and you've got 2 lifelines left.

[LEE]

Hi Rob, how's your task knowledge then? At least it wasn't the week with the funny percentage, that would have been cruel.

[Romantic Old Bird]

Did you see my answer? We posted simultaneously!

[LEE]

I did see it ROB, but are you sure. Wasn't it 50%, or maybe 30%?

:flower:

PS: Liked the avatar comment :laugh:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Now then, don't torment me lee! I'm as sure as I'll ever be! BTW I am apparently, deeply, deeply sad and I'm certifiable, and it is evident to my OH that i need to get a life!!!!!

(Thank God I took off the avator when I did!!!)

40%!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LEE]

Don't worry ROB, we still love you :thumbs:

Now, you have just said 40%. If you had gone with answer A and said 20% you would have been wrong,

[Romantic Old Bird]

I'm sure they would both be great. Horrible responsibility to ask. Sorry girls. I think my OFL please. She knows who she is! (peachy) Sorry mate!

[peachy]

OMG, I havent got a clue honestly. I've been wracking my brains. I wish I could help but I might guess Narinder, but I just don't have an idea really.

[LEE]

peachy, do you know the answer. :wavey:

can you help ROB out?

:flower:

[peachy]

I wish i could but i don't know the answer, sorry

[Romantic Old Bird]

Thanks for trying peachy, and sorry I landed you in it.

I might as well try 50:50 and just choose one of them. Or Not! 50:50 please Lee!

:hello: :dance: :elephant: :dance: :hello: :dance: :elephant: :dance: :hello:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

We are not worthy! We bow before your awesome BB2 knowledge! You are not a BB star, you are a superstar! :colour: :spin2: :colour:

Congratulations, ROB - you were absolutely wonderful. Mwah! :love:

[Romantic Old Bird]

I'd like to thank my mother, my teachers, my children, my OH, Dante Gabriel Rosetti for having a really cool name, Paul Clarke for being LUSH and having a really nice bum; peachy, janette, all the girls and and of course LEE for doing the MC bit (BTW, What happened to MarK?)

P.S. I am absolutely worn out, be warned if you contemplate doing this! it looks easy, but it's not!!!

Sorry I took soooooo long!

[LEE]

ROB

So very well done. I'm absolutely shattered so I dread to think what you are. :laugh:

Well done, You are a star :thumbs:

What happened to Mark
I have no idea, but didn't he miss a good show :bouncy:

[susieq]

[Di2001]

:dance::dance: WAY TO GO R.O.B.!!!!! :dance::dance:


:hello::hello: WELL DONE!!!!! :hello::hello:

Phew, what a night......:spin2::spin2:

[peachy]

It certainly was quite a night, by the end of it those of us who'd stayed with it for the entire four hour marathon were like damp rags. I felt as if I could hardly think or type any more and as for poor ROB and Lee, I dread to think how tired they must have felt. But it was worth it, and she did it, no thanks to me, who failed at the crucial question. Thank goodness, she took no notice of me! So well done ROB. Those of you who've done it know just how hard it is.
If I could just sing I'd be doing a Freddie Mercury:
"You are the champion, my friend" and we'd all be swaying with our cigarette lighters in our hands.

[Feefs]

WOW - that's very impressive. I am yet again in great awe of you ROB. All that swotting has really paid off. You really have been a diligent student and an example to us all.

:hello::hello::hello::hello::hello:
BTW - does removing your avatar really prevent your OH from worrying? I take it you don't actually let him read what you've written. :shocked:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Good grief feefs, he has no idea!! When he came up he just glanced at it, not long enough to sus out that I was ROB, and of course only saw the questions and my circumspect answers! The photo might have led to questions of an embarassing nature. he doesn't understand the www, thinks it's complex, and can just about manage an email with help. I'm keeping it that way!:laugh::thumbs:
