Top Answers Game #8 (+Pointless Companion) - Final Results!

[Denver]

You are all twats stop picking the same pointless answers as me

[Strictly Jake]

Cant believe you chose live 8 too Shaun!

[Denver]

How's Adam is such an iconic moment so not here for the shade

[Denver]

And I bet Marc has never read Essio Trot am I right?

[Denver]

Also how did only 4 people say 9/11 that is the one moment that has always stayed with me from a young age

[Black Dagger]

I'm never playing this stupid game again.

[Niamh.]

Thanks for hosting Shaun [emoji173]

[Babayaro.]

Also how did only 4 people say 9/11 that is the one moment that has always stayed with me from a young age

I cried more at Leon Jackson winning than I did with 9/11, thank you very much!

[Babayaro.]

And I bet Marc has never read Essio Trot am I right?

Hence why I chose The Magic Finger

[MB.]

I cried more at Leon Jackson winning than I did with 9/11, thank you very much!

Matthew correctly pointed out that Vanessa Layton-McIntosh getting an orange thrown at her face was the British 9/11?

[Cal.]

Thanks for running this Shaun I loved it!

[MB.]

There's still one more round to go :oh:

[Niamh.]

Oh are we getting the bonus round?

[Babayaro.]

Matthew correctly pointed out that Vanessa Layton-McIntosh getting an orange thrown at her face was the British 9/11?

Eugene the leader of Al-Qaeda?

[Rob!]

Sorry I’m going to be boastful for a second - I didn’t do a second’s research on the Pointless round, it was all from my head. I’m really proud of that :laugh:

[Tony Montana]

My best round! :dance:

[Rob!]

Lucy Beatles death wasn’t dramatic :fist: you didn’t even see it :fist:

The story went on for about twenty eight years, if that's not dramatic what do you WANT?! :fist:

[Shaun]

Right then, there will indeed be a bonus round and it's going to be a mixed bag of all the previous ten. One question per category!

I was going to introduce "double points" for this one but I don't know, that always feels a bit gimmicky and sometimes doesn't have any impact (unless the current leader has a disaster)

I'm not designing a fancy logo for it because I don't want to, but here are the final questions.

Round 11 - ???

1. Pick a popular name that has never been the name of a BBUK Housemate
2. Name a single released by the band Coldplay
3. Name a country that was a part of the French colonial empire at some point, other than France
4. Name someone who has become famous as a YouTuber
5. Name a country with a flag that contains the colour yellow.
6. Name a type of flower or plant that would be considered a "weed"
7. Name a film that was directed by a woman (or women)
8. Name something you might put on after waking up
9. Name a video game series that begins with the letter F
10. Name a popular news TV channel

For Pointless:

#1 - I'm only ruling out names from BB1-19 of the non-celebrity versions of Big Brother UK, so they can have been the names of housemates from CBB, Hijack or Teen Big Brother. I'm also only considering the name they were referred to as a housemate, so "Bubble" is a name that's been used, for example, and if he had a unique real first name then it would be an acceptable answer.
#2 - Must be a single covered in this list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coldplay_discography#Singles
#3 - I will accept parts of modern day countries as valid answers. For example: if a big chunk of Aberdeen was in the French empire at some point, then the United Kingdom would be an allowable answer. You just have to give me their modern-day country name, and they have to be a COUNTRY NIAMH
#4 - Pretty straightforward, they just can't have been well-known before YouTube
#5 - Again, pretty straightforward. Any yellow on the flag = a valid answer (but again, must be a COUNTRY)
#6 - Once again, straightforward enough. Please don't go too specific though
#7 - In the case of a film where there are multiple directors, if one of them is female then it is a valid answer.
#8 - Completely open to interpretation
#9 - Must be a series with at least 2 games already released. A good list would be here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_franchises#F
#10 - Must be available in either terrestrial or cable TV, or whatever the foreign equivalents are. No fictional networks.

Sorry I’m going to be boastful for a second - I didn’t do a second’s research on the Pointless round, it was all from my head. I’m really proud of that :laugh:

...be as boastful as you want, Rob...you did amazingly ...very few mortals reach the height of total and complete Pointlessness...and you are one of the very few...:flutter:...

[Ammi]

The story went on for about twenty eight years, if that's not dramatic what do you WANT?! :fist:

...me if anyone says that the Meghan threads are becoming boring and going around and around in the same circle...

[Smithy]

Perched for 21 different answers for Q1

[Daniel.]

How long do we have to submit?

[Niamh.]

Perched for 21 different answers for Q1

:laugh:

I'm quietly hopeful at least a couple of other people will choose the name I picked :fc:

[Cherie]

I will do this tomorrow, cant even think right now :laugh:

[Shaun]

How long do we have to submit?

Deadline is tomorrow night at midnight

[Jessica.]

I am gonna have to think really hard about these answers.

[Denver]

I'm gonna send soon

[Babayaro.]

I am gonna have to think really hard about these answers.

Because you haven't been for the last 10 rounds?

[Shaun]

I was going to introduce "double points" for this one but I don't know, that always feels a bit gimmicky and sometimes doesn't have any impact (unless the current leader has a disaster)

Thoughts, stinkies?

[Babayaro.]

I say yes

[Niamh.]

Thoughts, stinkies?Go for the double, I need all the help I can get [emoji28]

[Shaun]

It would also apply to Pointless btw, so incorrect answers would be worth 40pts :skull:

[Jessica.]

Because you haven't been for the last 10 rounds?

I think regular points would be fine.

[Smithy]

Will do this this eve/tonight

[Shaun]

Any chance of a points update before I back a double scoring round :worry:

At the moment there are 9 points between 1st and 2nd place, and you are one of those positions (I won't say which :hmph:) 3rd place is behind by about 50pts.

For Pointless, 7 points separate the top three, and 21pts separate the top seven.

[Denver]

I say go for something different an do triple points

I still recommend this

[Cherie]

[Calderyon]

Will send it before the deadline.

[Daniel.]

Is the BBUK question just for civillian?

[Shaun]

It is, yeah

[Shaun]

Still awaiting answers from Black Dagger, Babayaro and Jessica

[Calderyon]

I think I am positioned either on or between 12th and 17th on Top Answers and either on or between 7th and 12th on Pointless.

[Denver]

Im first on all

[Shaun]

Still awaiting answers from Black Dagger, Babayaro and Jessica

and that'll be all. I won't be able to do the scores tonight but I'll do them when I get home tomorrow. A surprise little twist: there are 21 Pointless players this time, because someone wanted to throw their name in the hat to increase the potential for drama (and people scoring points) :love:

Right then: as promised, points are doubled for this one and there are 23 participants as usual. So if an answer says "- 2" next to it, it means that one person picked it :tongue:

[Niamh.]

:o So happy with that result, I was sure William would get me a few points though!!

[Jake.]

Wow!

[Shaun]

Some small observations:

- The two people to pick "Jake" for #1 were both Jakes :joker: Jessica was the only other to put their own name, everyone else sort of made guesses of each others' names (or went for a different tactic entirely).
- Also enjoyed the idea that Colin and Fred are still popular names :love:
- I was so pleased #10 was limited to two different answers because the rest were pretty chaotic :laugh:
- I did feel kinda mean separating "underwear" from "clothes" but literally every single person said the word "clothes" when the other said "underwear" so I had to count them as different answers, sorry :(

[Niamh.]

Whoever said Niamh must have gotten their Pointless answers mixed up with Top Answers :laugh:

[Shaun]

I personally picked Robert because Rob! had just scored a 100% pointless round in the round prior, luckily two others went for it too :laugh:

[Jake.]

Surprised people went with fornite for a franchise, isn’t it only one game?

[Shaun]

Yeah I think a few people hoped that the size of Fortnite would override the technicality of the question wording, but even then it was relatively close (FIFA was winning by a landslide with the first 10 votes).

[Rob!]

I think I am positioned either on or between 12th and 17th on Top Answers and either on or between 7th and 12th on Pointless.

I personally picked Robert because Rob! had just scored a 100% pointless round in the round prior, luckily two others went for it too :laugh:

I can’t believe I didn’t pick my own name :facepalm:

[Niamh.]

I personally picked Robert because Rob! had just scored a 100% pointless round in the round prior, luckily two others went for it too :laugh:

It didn't even occur to me to use a TiBB members name :laugh: I just thought William was a very popular English name, the name of one of the princes etc and was unusual in all the years there's never been a William on BB

Surprised people went with fornite for a franchise, isn’t it only one game?

Fortnite was the first game that popped into my head so i checked if it there was more than one and there was...luckily for me I decided to just google other games beginning with F and that reminded of way bigger games than Fortnite, I did agonise for ages between Final fantasy, FiFi, Far Cry and Fallout, thankfully I settled on Final Fantasy in the end because it seemed to have the most sequels

[Jessica.]

ugh

[Shaun]

:amazed: I'm happy with that

[Jessica.]

Congratulations to the top three

[Jessica.]

Thanks for hosting Shaun :love:

[Shaun]

Congrats to both MTVN and Daniel, it felt harsh not having two winners because you were pretty much the only two that exchanged places at top of the leaderboard throughout the game. A really tough contest for the third spot too (38pts between 3rd and 10th, even after double points!), so well done to Marc :clap1:

I'll now start to format the post for Pointless...

[Rob!]

Well done guys :clap1:

[Liam-]

I was going to put James but I didn’t think it would count because of John James :fist:

[Cherie]

Well done Matt, holding onto that crown :clap1:

[Cherie]

I thought Shaun would be top::shrug:

[AnnieK]

Well done to the top 3 and to everyone who played. This is the first time I've played I think so pretty pleased with a mid table finish :laugh:

Thanks for hosting Shaun....its been fun :love:

[Cherie]

who puts clothes on straight from bed filthy people :laugh:

[Jessica.]

I said slippers :(

[Cherie]

Dressing gown :sad:

[Jessica.]

Whoever said kettle/tv :umm2:

[MB.]

Me blowing a fairly safe podium finish in a single round... iconic!

[AnnieK]

Whoever said kettle/tv :umm2:

Might be local dialect but we say put the tv on....and its the first thing I do when I get up to listen to the news whilst getting ready....:laugh:

I did my answers quick and probably didn't think the question through :umm2:

[Ammi]

...well done to the round winners, Jake and Niamh ..:love:...


...and so well done MTVN, Daniel and Babs...Top guys/Top Answers...:love:...

[Jessica.]

Might be local dialect but we say put the tv on....and its the first thing I do when I get up to listen to the news whilst getting ready....:laugh:

I did my answers quick and probably didn't think the question through :umm2:

Ohh that makes sense

[MTVN]

Ohh wow :amazed: I really thought I had blown it in the literature round and then there seeing some of my answers flopping like Lost in Translation, Vida la Vida and Ivory Coast. I actually had kettle down originally as well for things you put on after waking up but changed to clothes just before I sent my answers

Unlucky Daniel, thought you were the other one in the top two and do feel like I've robbed you there a bit lol

Thanks for running Shaun, enjoyed the diversity of the rounds a lot :clap2:

[Smithy]

Oh I put a couple of the top answers to begin with then changed my mind :fist:

Well done MTVN and thanks for running this Shaun!

[Niamh.]

Well done Matt :love: and Daniel and Marc!

Happy with my placing, that last round bumped me up the board a bit :hehe:

You did a marvelous job Shaun :lovedup:

[MTVN]

Got quite lucky on that BB housemates name one as well, did control F on the list of housemates and first one I tried was John and then James when that didn't work out, find it really surprising that there's never been a James in there

Half wondered if people would be put off answering that by John James though

[Jake.]

Well done Matt!

[Jake.]

And thanks as always for hosting Shaun!

[Shaun]

21 voters this time, meaning an incorrect answer is worth a whopping 42 points :omgno:

Pointless

1) Pick a name that's never been the name of a BBUK Housemate

Shaun - Kim (the male Kim)
Strictly Jake - Betty
Niamh - Sinead
Denver - Calix
Rob! - Stacey
Mitchell - Mitchell
Liam- - Brandon
Amy Jade - Kelly
Cherie - Fiadh
MB - Erica
MTVN - Keith
Calderyon - Olivia
Matthew. - Twila
Smithy - Raymond
Jake - Connor (this was really taking the piss :oh: )
Tony Montana - Matilda
AnnieK - Ian
Black Dagger - Lucas
Cal - Ibrahim
Jessica - William
Babayaro - Fernando

'Connor' and 'Raymond' were paper-thin correct answers because of Ray from BB4 and Conor from BB13 but I'll allow them, meaning everyone is pointless.

2) Name a single released by Coldplay

Shaun - Up in Flames
Strictly Jake - Ink
Niamh - Shiver
Denver - Moving to Mars
Rob! - Clocks
Mitchell - Princess of China
Liam- - Talk
Amy Jade - Always in My Head
Cherie - A Message
MB - Talk
MTVN - Square One
Calderyon - Atlas
Matthew. - Speed of Sound
Smithy - Yellow
Jake - Daddy
Tony Montana - Paradise
AnnieK - Christmas Lights
Black Dagger - Moses
Cal - Strawberry Swing
Jessica - O
Babayaro - Speed of Sound

2pts each for Talk and Speed of Sound; I guess going for bang in the middle of their discography (with 2005's "X&Y") was not the best strategy!

3) Name a country that was a part of, or parts of it were a part of, the French colonial empire at some point

Shaun - St. Lucia
Strictly Jake - Brazil
Niamh - Chad
Denver - Niger
Rob! - Dominica
Mitchell - Cote D'Ivoire
Liam- - Comoros
Amy Jade - Canada
Cherie - Gabon
MB - Cambodia
MTVN - India
Calderyon - Dominica
Matthew. - Benin
Smithy - St Kitts & Nevis
Jake - Cote D'Ivoire
Tony Montana - Madagascar
AnnieK - St Kitts & Nevis
Black Dagger - Niger
Cal - St. Lucia
Jessica - Benin
Babayaro - Senegal

A couple of you did name territories or parts of countries that were indeed a part of the French empire at some point, but forgot to word them as modern day countries... so I amended a few answers and made them what I was looking for. If you aren't pointless here, you score 2pts, since no three people said the same thing.

4) Name someone who has become famous as a YouTuber

Shaun - TomSka
Strictly Jake - Madilyn Bailey
Niamh - Nick Pro
Denver - Brennan Donnelly
Rob! - Ajey Nagar (CarryMinati)
Mitchell - Niki Albon
Liam- - Troye Sivan
Amy Jade - James A. Janisse (Dead Meat)
Cherie - Vexxed IRL
MB - Stephanie Soo
MTVN - Justin Bieber
Calderyon - Tyrone Magnus
Matthew. - AmazingPhil
Smithy - James Turner
Jake - Samuel de Luque (Vegetta777)
Tony Montana - Konrad Dantas (KondZilla)
AnnieK - DanTDM
Black Dagger - Jaackmaate
Cal - Eleanor Neale
Jessica - Lucas Cruikshank
Babayaro - Billy Wingrove

The world was really your oyster with this question and it shows. No same answers.

5) Name a country whose flag contains the colour yellow

Shaun - Papua New Guinea
Strictly Jake - Romania
Niamh - Kyrgyzstan
Denver - Central African Republic
Rob! - Bahamas
Mitchell - Colombia
Liam- - Gabon
Amy Jade - Seychelles
Cherie - Kazakhstan
MB - Haiti
MTVN - Vatican City
Calderyon - Argentina
Matthew. - Mali
Smithy - Jamaica
Jake - Belgium
Tony Montana - St. Lucia
AnnieK - China
Black Dagger - Kyrgyzstan
Cal - Sweden
Jessica - Bolivia
Babayaro - Bosnia & Herzegovina

An almost perfect round until Lucas came along and RUINED it with Sporcle's favourite country.

6) Name a plant or flower that would be considered a "weed"

Shaun - Canada thistle
Strictly Jake - Tasmanian ngaio
Niamh - Giant hogweed
Denver - Miner's lettuce
Rob! - Groundsel
Mitchell - Chickweed
Liam- - Velvetleaf
Amy Jade - Birds-foot trefoil
Cherie - Wild parsley
MB - Sexton's bride
MTVN - Himalayan Balsam
Calderyon - Poison sumac
Matthew. - Dandelion
Smithy - Speedwell
Jake - Herb robert
Tony Montana - Hedge bindweed
AnnieK - Oxalis
Black Dagger - Hairy bittercress
Cal - Stinging nettles
Jessica - Bridal creeper
Babayaro - Hairy bittercress

I am not going to pretend I am an expert in botany so I wasn't too sure if all of these were technically correct, but a quick google certainly seemed to vouch for all of them. Just a few shared answers - if you want to be a snitch and point out that 2 people have said different names for the same thing, feel free, because drama is valuable :love: Hence why I've technically taken the opportunity to imply that Niamh is a giant hogweed.

7) Name a film that was directed by a woman, or women

Shaun - The Girl in the Book (2015)
Strictly Jake - The Secret Garden (1993)
Niamh - As If I'm Not There (2010)
Denver - Desires of the Heart (2008)
Rob! - Mamma Mia! (2008)
Mitchell - Frozen (2013)
Liam- - Love and Anarchy (1973)
Amy Jade - See No Evil 2 (2014)
Cherie - The Asthenic Syndrome (1990)
MB - Plush (2013)
MTVN - The Hitch-Hiker (1953)
Calderyon -Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975)
Matthew. - La Fée aux Choux (1896) - first film directed by a woman
Smithy - The Matrix 4 (???)
Jake - They (2017)
Tony Montana - Near Dark (1987)
AnnieK - Something's Gotta Give (2003)
Black Dagger - We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)
Cal - K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)
Jessica - Michelle Bello
Babayaro - The Bling Ring (2013)

As Top Answers proved, you kinda misread this question Jess, sorry :( I couldn't really salvage anything from your answer because she's directed four different films. I'm torn about allowing Smithy's answer here because I did say "was directed", not "will be directed" :think:

8) Name something you might put on after waking up

Shaun - "Some Kinda Rush" by Booty Luv
Strictly Jake - Shaving foam
Niamh - A toe ring
Denver - Condom :unsure:
Rob! - This Morning
Mitchell - Good Morning Britain

The one instance where I was hoping someone would put the same answer as myself.

9) Name a video game series that begins with the letter F

Shaun - Fire Emblem

Matthew. - Forza Horizon
Smithy - FIFA Street
Jake - Frogger
Tony Montana - Fable
AnnieK - Fallout
Black Dagger - Fire Pro Wrestling

Quite astonished there was only one shared answer here, given the limitations.

10) Name a popular TV news channel

Shaun - Kanali 7 (Albania)

Denver - Africanews

Tony Montana - Al Jazeera
AnnieK - Euronews

A lot of variety of shared answers here, so again no more damage than 2 points - even if it is to a lot of scores.

....so, so, so thank you...:hug:..

[Amy Jade]

My dick dastardly plan to make people score extra points flopped so bad :laugh2:

[Babayaro.]

Congrats MB & MTVN :clap1:

Well done to all of the winners you’ve all done absolutely fantastic!

And well done to you Shaun for the tremendous effort you’ve put into this game the last 5 weeks! It’s been so fun! Thanks for brightening up our lockdowns loov!

And a special well done to me! For placing so fantastically in both games against all odds. I truly am amazing.

I think cal bombing both these games on 9/11 is quite distasteful actually

[Denver]

Can we appreciate how i was rock bottom in round 1 of Pointless by a long gap to then come and score an unlikely top 10 finish? Although Lucas is a **** for stopping me getting a pointless round

[MB.]

I'm glad we've collectively proved once and for all that I'm the most pointless person on this site! Ta Shaun for putting so much effort into running this :love:

[Calderyon]

You were a good host, Shaun.

Good work.

[Tony Montana]

You deserve it for thinking Calix is a ****ing name

[Calderyon]

Even though I did not do very well, TIBB Top Answers & Pointless is one of the best games of the forum, if not the best altogether.
