Pointless game - Round 10 Miscellaneous answers - CHERIE WINNER!!!…
...so this is what Shaun always says or more or less...he might have made a few seasonal changes each time but we’ll go with this for this season...hopefully it’s all clear to you people but I’ll have to read it quite a few times and maybe my head will hold the information and explanation eventually...so let’s begin...
Pointless - Here's where my previous expertise comes in. In the past I have sometimes run a corresponding game with Niamh where - as per the quiz show 'Pointless' - I ask members to submit a correct answer to every question but also happens to be one that you think no other member will submit. So to borrow our old L Countries example, you might be more tempted to answer 'Liechtenstein' or 'Laos' for this one because it's not as well-known to us simple Europeans as 'Latvia'. - At the end of the round I will take all unique scores and give them "0" points. Everyone else who submits the same answer will incur a point... depending on the number of sharing persons. For example: if, by some atrocity, 9 of you all said "Laos", then you would score 8 points (because 2 people sharing would be 1 point) for that question. - There's an element of peril, however, because if you give me an answer that is not correct, I have to give you maximum points (the number of people who participated in that question). So before you go saying 'Lapland', think twice and do some bloody research otherwise you'll score 20pts for one question. - At the end of the game the person with the lowest combined total score will win. TLDR AGAIN: If you want to play both, you can, just think of them as putting your Family Fortunes answer and Pointless answer in the same PM. If you want to differentiate between your answers with fancy colours then feel free, otherwise just write "Top - Latvia, Pointless - Laos" or something similar. If this really gets a little too complicated for you, you can send me two separate PMs for your different answers, but that would be a slight strain on my inbox Or indeed you can bin the whole thing off and just submit your Top Answers, or just your Pointless answers; whatever floats your boat ...let me go find a nice little pic from somewhere that colourfully enhances the first round announcement of television related questions.... ...and the first round questions are... 1) Name an iconic, male, 'Coronation Street' character 2) Name an X Factor judge that isn't Simon Cowell 3) Name a 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge 4) Name a character from 'The Simpsons' that isn't one of the Simpsons 5) Name someone who has presented 'The Great British Bake-Off' 6) Name a UK Freeview channel that isn't BBC One, BBC Two, ITV, C4 or Channel 5. 7) Name one of the major US television channels (not cable) 8) Name a male musician/popstar whose career was launched by a TV talent show/competition 9) Name one of the child actors from the Netflix series 'Stranger Things' 10) Name a competitor on the UK edition of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' 11) Name a British sitcom from the 1980s 12) Name someone who became famous through the Australian soap 'Neighbours' 13) Name a time of the day when the news broadcast is on TV 14) Name one of the colours of the 'Power Rangers' 15) Name someone who has presented the Channel 4 quiz show 'Countdown'. ...I’m going to close the deadline for Pointless slightly before Shaun at midnight on Monday 12th after your day of shopping until you’re dropping ...just because I’ll start looking at the answers first thing in Tuesday...and I’m sure I’ll have lots of googling to do ... ...hopefully, I’ll see you all in my PM box in the immediate up and coming and good luck all...if you take part, you’re already a winner ...:love:... https://i.imgur.com/eT7ohBx.png |
If I don't get a pointless answer for question 11, then that will be the most shameful moment of my life.
You can give me 100 points if I don't get a pointless for question 11, just to make it a bit more challenging for me. |
...I might even add the 100 points and cancel you for the whole next round, Alf...but you will get a pointless answer, I’m confident of it....

10pm LukeB - 10pm Because LukeB and Lucas were the only two who put down the exact same answer of 10pm, those were the only two that I counted as duplicates. 14) Name one of the colours of the Power Rangers Shaun -
