Pointless 21 sets of answers this time, so each incorrect answer is worth 21pts! 1) Name an ex-husband of Cheryl Tweedy Shaun - Ashley Cole Mitchell - Ashley Cole Cal - Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini Niamh - Ashley Cole Ammi - Ashley Cole Strictly Jake - Ashley Cole Nicky91 - Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini Calderyon - Ashley Cole Rob! - Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini MB - Ashley Cole AnnieK - Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini Cherie - Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini Matthew. - Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini MTVN - Ashley Cole Liam- - Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini Black Dagger - Ashley Cole Denver - Ashley Cole Smithy - Ashley Cole Jake. - Ashley Cole Tony Montana - John Barrowman Babayaro. - Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini Jessica - Ashley Cole Okay, so when I conceptualised this question, I was under the wrong impression that she had briefly married Liam Payne as well, so I didn't realise there were only two answers :( but at least this gave me the wonderful mental image of a Cheryl Barrowman power couple (I assume something went wrong with thinking of famous Johns, TM, but sorry, I couldn't reply in time before the round ended). Ashley Cole, the more obvious answer, gets more points; presumably because most of us couldn't be arsed typing the other guy's name :laugh: Ashley scores 11pts, other guy scores 7pts. 2) Name a TV show with "celebrity" (or an abbreviation of the word) in the title, other than CBB Shaun - Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice Mitchell - Celebrity Showmance Cal - Celebrity Scissorhands Niamh - Celebrity Playhouse Ammi - I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here Strictly Jake - Celebrity 5 Go Barging Nicky91 - Celebrity Masterchef Calderyon - Celebrity Duets Arab World Rob! - Celebrity Come Dine With Me MB - Celebrity Lanes AnnieK - Celebrity Wipeout Cherie - Wide Awake: Celebrity Insomnia Exposed Matthew. - The Celebrity Apprentice MTVN - The Apartment - Celebrity Edition Liam- - Britain's Worst Celebrity Driver Black Dagger - Celebrity Super Spa Denver - Celebrity Masterchef Australia Smithy - RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race Jake. - Celebrity Family Feud Tony Montana - RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race Babayaro. - Britain's Worst Celebrity Driver Jessica - Celebrity Fit Club Decades of poor programming means there are very, very few points to go around here. If you weren't pointless, you only escape with a point. 3) Name a winner of Strictly Come Dancing Shaun - Louis Smith Mitchell - Abbey Clancy Cal - Darren Bennett Niamh - Kelvin Fletcher Ammi - Joe McFadden Strictly Jake - Stacey Dooley Nicky91 - Darren Gough Calderyon - Darren Gough Rob! - Aljaž Škorjanec MB - Matthew Cutler AnnieK - Natasha Kaplinsky Cherie - Laura Main Matthew. - Jill Halfpenny MTVN - Kara Tointon Liam- - Abbey Clancy Black Dagger - Mark Ramprakash Denver - Tess Daly Smithy - Kelvin Fletcher Jake. - Kara Tointon Tony Montana - Harry Judd Babayaro. - Joanne Clifton Jessica - Chris Hollins Plenty of celebrity winners here, but the sensible options were to either name a professional dancer they were paired with, or name someone who won a charity or Christmas special. Once again, only the 1pt of damage can be done here. 4) Name someone who is famous for being a "WAG". Shaun - Abbey Clancy Mitchell - Tanya Bardsley Cal - Federica Ridolfi Niamh - Tatjana Batinic Ammi - Coleen Rooney Strictly Jake - Christine Lampard Nicky91 - Mikky Kiemeney Calderyon - Antonella Roccuzzo Rob! - Ana Ivanovic MB - Izabel Kovacic AnnieK - Shakira Cherie - Ria Hughes Matthew. - Carly Zucker MTVN - Annie Kilner Liam- - Paige Milian Black Dagger - Michele Lacroix Denver - Rike Nooitgedagt Smithy - Georgina Rodriguez Jake. - Victoria Beckham Tony Montana - Abbey Clancy Babayaro. - Toni Terry Jessica - Fern Hawkins I naively believed naming one that won SCD would throw others off the scent but I guess it ended up being the only shared answer :inamood: 5) Name a famous cat Shaun - Salem (Sabrina the Teenage Witch) Mitchell - Frisky (Coronation Street titles) Cal - Sergeant Tibbs Niamh - Sassy (Homeward Bound) Ammi - Garfield Strictly Jake - Nala Nicky91 - Heathcliff Calderyon - Scratchy Rob! - Tony the Tiger MB - Zarathustra, the Fat Art Cat AnnieK - Bagpuss Cherie - Snowball Matthew. - Cat Deeley MTVN - Claude Cat Liam- - Tony the Tiger Black Dagger - Berlioze Aristocat Denver - Craig (Eastenders) Smithy - Cat Deeley Jake. - Top Cat Tony Montana - Sylvester (Looney Toons) Babayaro. - Isis (Star Trek) Jessica - Fukumaru Some of you were REALLY testing my generosity with the interpretation of the word "cat" here. I do not like accepting Tony the bloody TIGER but I guess it's a kind of cat :oh: so it counts. But I DON'T LIKE IT. Hats off to the two slags who named an actual person, though, and well done to Mitchell for not falling into that trap as he originally intended. Again, just 1pt scored here at worst. 6) Name someone who has presented 'This Morning' Shaun - Emily Atack Mitchell - Nigel Havers Cal - Jenni Falconer Niamh - Ross Kelly Ammi - Ruth Langford Strictly Jake - Marvin Humes Nicky91 - Mollie King Calderyon - Judy Finnigan Rob! - Coleen Nolan MB - Samanthi Jayawardena AnnieK - Jenni Falconer Cherie - Liz Earle Matthew. - Coleen Nolan MTVN - Ross Kelly Liam- - Twiggy Black Dagger - Ross Kelly Denver - Bryony Blake Smithy - Ben Shepherd Jake. - Sharon Marshall Tony Montana - Stephen Mulhern Babayaro. - Christine Lampard Jessica - Caton Keating I guess I didn't specify by "presenting" that it meant hosting the whole thing so a lot of you went with the specialist guests for things like makeup, finance, celebrity gossip, etc. Ross Kelly scores 2, the devil hellbitch scores 1pt. 7) Name a 2016 celebrity death Shaun - Chyna Mitchell - Michael Cimino Cal - Dale Griffin Niamh - Alan Thicke Ammi - Pete Burns Strictly Jake - Ron Glass Nicky91 - David Bowie Calderyon - Garry Marshall Rob! - Jean Alexander MB - Farouk Shousha AnnieK - Harper Lee Cherie - Michael Nicholson Matthew. - Fidel Castro MTVN - Sylvia Anderson Liam- - Robin Hardy Black Dagger - Leon Russell Denver - Phife Dawg Smithy - Anton Yelchin Jake. - Caroline Aherne Tony Montana - Fidel Castro Babayaro. - Edward Albee Jessica - Shimon Peres Sorry to resurface some old wounds here, everyone! What a **** of a year. Just the one shared answer. 8) Name someone who's appeared on 2+ episodes of Made in Chelsea Shaun - Francis Boulle Mitchell - Miles Nazaire Cal - Emma Walsh Niamh - George Amor Ammi - Sam Thompson Strictly Jake - Amber Atherton Nicky91 - Jamie Laing Calderyon - Melissa Tattam Rob! - Alik Alfus MB - Will Colebrook AnnieK - Louise Thompson Cherie - Josh Coombs Matthew. - Emily Blackwell MTVN - Oscar Ligenza Liam- - Will Colebrook Black Dagger - Ed Ford Denver - Binky Felstead Smithy - Harry Baron Jake. - Joel Dommett Tony Montana - Sam Cussins Babayaro. - Julius Cowdrey Jessica - Hugo Leefe I cannot find any evidence that Joel Dommett was in Made in Chelsea at any point :suspect: Everyone names someone unique bar Will Colebrook, that troublemaking little prick. 9) Name a gossip magazine that is, or was, in circulation in the UK Shaun - My Weekly Mitchell - Into Soap Cal - Mad About Boys Niamh - Mizz Ammi - Hello Strictly Jake - Lifestyle Nicky91 - Daily Mirror Calderyon - Reveal Rob! - Let's Talk MB - Reveal AnnieK - Reveal Cherie - IN Matthew. - Best MTVN - ¡Hola! Liam- - New! Black Dagger - Xplode Denver - Take a Break Smithy - Closer Jake. - Bella Tony Montana - Heat Babayaro. - Woman's Own Jessica - Smash Hits I was pretty open to the interpretation of "gossip magazine" here because Smash Hits was obviously primarily a music one, but definitely thrived off of boybands and that sort of gossip. But I had to discount Nicky's answer here since it's quite obviously a newspaper and not a magazine. Reveal scores 2pts. 10) Name a celebrity whose first name is John Shaun - John Cooper Clarke Mitchell - John O'Hurley Cal - John Barea Niamh - John Dodson Ammi - John Travolta Strictly Jake - John Thompson Nicky91 - John Barnes Calderyon - John Goodman Rob! - John Virgo MB - J. Eddie Peck AnnieK - Jack Nicholson Cherie - John Mellencamp Matthew. - John Rocker MTVN - Fabolous Liam- - John Brotherton Black Dagger - John Grimes Denver - John Morrison Smithy - John Epperson Jake. - John Edwards Tony Montana - John Cleese Babayaro. - John Altman Jessica - John Bernard Riley Miraculously, everybody gets a pointless answer here! Scores Cherie - 7 Cal - 8 Babayaro. - 8 Rob! - 9 AnnieK - 10 Matthew. - 10 Ammi - 11 Denver - 11 Jessica - 11 Liam- - 11 Strictly Jake - 11 Mitchell - 12 Shaun - 12 Black Dagger - 13 Calderyon - 14 MB - 14 MTVN - 14 Niamh - 14 Smithy - 14 Tony Montana - 24 Nicky91 - 29 Jake. - 33 Congratulations to Cherie for getting the lowest possible score :clap1: |
Reminder: after round 5 I will give a mid-way scores update :spin2:
https://i.imgur.com/0sGtOOS.png Geography 1. Name a US state whose name begins with a vowel 2. Name a colour on the flag of South Africa 3. Name a country that shares a land border with Brazil 4. Name a capital city of the world that begins with the letter A 5. Name a river other than the Amazon, Nile or Thames 6. Name a volcano other than Vesuvius, Krakatoa or Etna 7. Name a country that is landlocked (has no sea coastline) 8. Name a city in Europe that isn't a capital city 9. Name a language that is widely spoken in more than one country, other than English 10. Name a city that has hosted either the Summer or Winter Olympic Games since 1896 For the Pointless edition: All questions that ask for a "country" as an answer must be an independent country as recognised by the UN. For #4, it must be a capital city of a CURRENT country, not a historical one. In fact, all questions are dealing with their current state; so South Africa's CURRENT flag, any European city that is not CURRENTLY a capital (but may have been in the past) for #8. For #10 I will allow all answers that have hosted either a Summer or Winter Olympics, even if they are not technically classed as a "city" (I would assume all hosts have been cities though). |
...well done Matt, Babs, Annie and Cal...:love:...and well done Cal, Cherie and Babs for Pointless...:love:..
|
...I’ll try to make sense of that little red bit after the questions when I wake up...
|
Strong round for me!
|
:amazed: sorry to be mean but I think you added the pointless scores up wrong on the This morning question and Cal and Annie share Jenni?
I need all the no points I can get :fist: |
I thought maybe the Cheryl question was a trick one and she had married someone before she was really famous
|
I strongly refute the notion that Victoria Beckham is famous for being a WAG :nono:
(also #CancelWillColebrook) |
Also also, I love that John Rocker is canonically a Pointless answer. Truly nobody says racist and homosexual things like he does!
