ThisisBigBrother.com - UK TV Forums - Top Answers Game #8 (+Pointless Companion)

Pointless

1) Name an ingredient you might need to make a birthday cake

Shaun - Vanilla extract
Rob! - Cinnamon
Niamh - Almonds
Strictly Jake - Vanilla essence
Matthew. - Sprinkles
Mitchell - Lemon zest
Calderyon - Baking soda
Jake - Salt
MB - Cream cheese
Smithy - Soya Milk
Denver - Green food colouring
Cherie - Vanilla essence
Liam- - Red food colouring
Jessica - Vegetable oil
Tony Montana - Butter
AnnieK - Sprinkles
Cal - Nutmeg
Black Dagger - Caster sugar
MTVN - Hundreds and Thousands
Babayaro - Cinnamon

Had a minor heart attack when two of you named something similar to mine, but was relieved ~~and not at all biased~~ to discover that essence and extract are different things :hee: Just the three shared answers here, and many tasty ones too.

2) Name a clothing retail chain that operates in the UK

Shaun - Peacocks
Rob! - Peacocks
Niamh - Dunnes stores
Strictly Jake - Sportsdirect
Matthew. - Jack & Jones
Mitchell - M&Co
Calderyon - H&M
Jake - Tu (Sainsburys)
MB - White Stuff
Smithy - Peacocks
Denver - Jack & Jones
Cherie - Monsoon
Liam- - Joseph
Jessica - Pep & Co.
Tony Montana - Primark
AnnieK - George (ASDA)
Cal - Long Tall Sally
Black Dagger - Fat Face
MTVN - Gieves and Hawkes
Babayaro - Jack Wills

I knew naming the first clothing store I never see people go inside in town would turn out to be a silly idea :( 2pts for Peacocks, 1pt for Jack & Jones.

3) Name a Premier League player who scored (or has scored) more than 100 PL goals in their career

Shaun - Robbie Keane
Rob! - Matt le Tissier
Niamh - Robbie Keane
Strictly Jake - Paul Scholes
Matthew. - Emile Heskey
Mitchell - Frank Lampard
Calderyon - Nicolas Anelka
Jake - Didier Drogba
MB - Robbie Fowler
Smithy - Wayne Rooney
Denver - Dion Dublin
Cherie - Darren Bent
Liam- - Ryan Giggs
Jessica - Alan Shearer
Tony Montana - Nicolas Anelka
AnnieK - Robin van Persie
Cal - Romelu Lukaku
Black Dagger - Sergio Aguero
MTVN - Les Ferdinand
Babayaro - Peter Crouch

Should've known better than to name the only Irish one because Niamh was breathing down my neck like a stalker :( I believe there were 31 options here so this was largely damage-free. Just 1pt for Keane and Anelka.

4) Name a chocolate bar manufactured by Mars, other than the Mars Bar

Shaun - Galaxy Honeycomb Crisp
Rob! - Topic
Niamh - Flyte
Strictly Jake - Bounty
Matthew. - Galaxy Cookie Crumble
Mitchell - 3 Musketeers
Calderyon - Dove
Jake - Dove Caramel
MB - Galaxy Fruit & Nut
Smithy - Snickers
Denver - 3 Musketeers
Cherie - Dove Strawberry Cranberry Yogurt Chocolate Bar
Liam- - Banjo
Jessica - Topic
Tony Montana - Snickers
AnnieK - Teasers
Cal - Twix Coconut
Black Dagger - Galaxy Bubbles
MTVN - M&Ms Peanut Block
Babayaro - PB Max

This is the sort of question where naming a simple answer isn't the ticket, so Topic and Snickers get some points. 3 Musketeers, which I believe is an American name for a Milky Way (similar to how Dove is the American name for Galaxy; perhaps the Americans have something against astronomical names), also scores a point.

5) Name a subject you would study at school

Shaun - Arabic
Rob! - Drama
Niamh - Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE)
Strictly Jake - BTEC in Leisure and Tourism
Matthew. - Accounting
Mitchell - Statistics
Calderyon - Geography
Jake - Graphic design
MB - History
Smithy - Latin
Denver - Gujarati
Cherie - Economics
Liam- - PSHE
Jessica - Drama
Tony Montana - History
AnnieK - English
Cal - Computing
Black Dagger - Food Tech
MTVN - Food Tech
Babayaro - Geography

In hindsight I never specified which country these schools were taking place, so pretty much any language could've been submitted. Niamh and Liam came dangerously close to a shared answer, but I believe the Irish subject Niamh submitted does not involve 'Economics' whilst Liam's version does, so they're different. 4 pairs of answers here.

6) Name an app primarily aimed at teenagers and young adults

Shaun - Kik
Rob! - VSCO
Niamh - Tellonym
Strictly Jake - Gardenscapes
Matthew. - Subway Surfers
Mitchell - Akinator
Calderyon - Kik
Jake - Hinge
MB - My Study Life
Smithy - Official DVLA Theory Test Kit
Denver - Daddyhunt
Cherie - Flappybird
Liam- - Mint
Jessica - Khan Academy
Tony Montana - Snapchat
AnnieK - Tumblr
Cal - Demi Lovato: Path to Fame
Black Dagger - Reddit
MTVN - Younow
Babayaro - Kik

Some headscratchers here - is Reddit really aimed at the young? Isn't Daddyhunt technically for Daddies? Does Demi Lovato exist? But I guess if you're hunting for a daddy you are likely to be in your teens/20s so :shrug: Others like Gardenscapes and Akinator feel like they're more general audience kinda apps but I've allowed them since they're still games and use cartoonish graphics which would classically be aimed at the young. Kik (RIP) scores 2.

7) Name a popular alcoholic cocktail

Shaun - Mai Tai
Rob! - Gin Fizz
Niamh - Baby Guinness
Strictly Jake - Black Russian
Matthew. - Bloody Mary
Mitchell - Macifröccs
Calderyon - Penicillin
Jake - Bramble
MB - Polish Bullet
Smithy - Amaretto Sour
Denver - Hawaiian Pipeline Punch
Cherie - Burnt Fuselage
Liam- - Paloma
Jessica - Caipirinha
Tony Montana - Old Fashioned
AnnieK - Tom Collins
Cal - Sake bomb
Black Dagger - Espresso Martini
MTVN - Blood and Sand
Babayaro - Blue Lagoon

An entirely pointless round! I was starting to feel bad for Calderyon in the Top Answers round for saying "Old Fashioned" when the only other person to name it was in Pointless, but he was eventually saved by a second vote :tongue:

8) Name something you might find in a garden

Jessica - Mulch
Tony Montana - Wheelbarrow
AnnieK - Shed
Cal - Dead pets :unsure:
Black Dagger - Trowel
MTVN - Washing Line

My inner Charlie Dimmock died with this round.

Rob! - Playstation 4
Niamh - Pet's drinking water fountain

Jessica - Table lamp
Tony Montana - Microwave
AnnieK - Washing Machine
Cal - Printer
Black Dagger - Broadband router
MTVN - Hairdryer
Babayaro - HDMI Cable

aka the "name the things arista makes a thread about" round. Some very curious energy-saving answers here, unplug that bloody hairdryer at ONCE Matthew :oh:

10) Name a brand of make-up / cosmetics.

Shaun - Sugarpill
Rob! - Urban Decay
Niamh - Kinvara Skincare
Strictly Jake - Shiro Cosmetics
