Default

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 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

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 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 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

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!
