[Black Dagger]

I've flopped this already. I can tell.

[Shaun]

Jessica and Tony Montana take us to 28. You can still submit answers until about 1am

[Denver]

Pointless

24 of you elected to take part in Pointless as well, and here's how the scores break down... unique correct answers (i.e "pointless" answers) will be in blue. Incorrect answers will be in red and are each worth 24 points. I'm sorry if I couldn't reply to you in time, but I was quite clear with what the requirements were and it's fine; mistakes are easy to overcome in this game.

Oh, and, small reminder: I did say you could choose housemates from other international seasons for some of these, unless the question specifically asked for BBUK so unfortunately, a fair few shared BBUK answers were submitted.

1. Name a housemate that was evicted before the final in Big Brother 1 (UK)

Shaun - Caroline O'Shea
Niamh - Tom McDermott
Matthew. - Caroline O'Shea
MTVN - Nichola Holt
Rob! - Claire Strutton
Calderyon - Tom McDermott
parmnion - Nichola Holt

MB. - Nichola Holt
Black Dagger - Andrew Davidson
Mitchell - Nichola Holt
AnnieK - Claire Strutton
Cherie - Andrew Davidson
Smithy - Sada Wilkington
Denver - "Cairon"
Dogeatdog - Andrew Davidson
Daniel - Andrew Davidson
Ammi - Andrew Davidson
Liam- - Claire Strutton
LukeB - Andrew Davidson
Babayaro - Claire Strutton
Cal - Claire Strutton
Tony Montana - Claire Strutton
Jake - Andrew Davidson

Tom & Caroline score 1pt
Nichola Holt scores 3pts
Claire Strutton scores 5pts
Andrew Davidson scores 7pts

Nobody answered with "Melanie Hill" which would've been the only pointless answer

2. Name a celebrity that "Hijacked" the house in 2007's E4 show "Big Brother: Celebrity HiJack"

Shaun - Gemma Merna
Niamh - Janet Street-Porter
Matthew. - Kate Lawler
MTVN - Peaches Geldof

Daniel - Claire Cooper
Ammi - Brian Sewell
Liam- - Fifi Brown
LukeB - Jennifer Metcalfe
Babayaro - Andy McNab
Cal - Fifi Brown
Tony Montana - Jimmy Carr
Jake - Nicole Appleton

Brian Sewell scores 1pt
Fifi Brown & Gemma Merna score 2pts
Andy McNab scores 3pts

Everyone else manages a correct pointless answer, which is impressive! I could be mean and dismiss "Jonathan Jacob" as incorrect answer because he was a competition-winner and not a "celebrity" but I'm feeling nice here, since he did hijack the house for a day. Other potential pointless answers include James Corden, Dermot O'Leary, Craig David, Denise Van Outen and Ian Wright!

3. Name a female winner of the series

Shaun - Nevila Omeri
Niamh - Isabelle Warburton
Matthew. - Nadia Almada
MTVN - Chloe Wilburn
Rob! - Sophie Reade
Calderyon - Coleen Nolan

Jake - Chloe Wilburn

Isabelle & Nadia score 1pt
Sophie Reade scores 3pts
Chloe Wilburn scores 7pts

A big congratulations to Dogeatdog and LukeB here for not only sticking with the BBUK theme, but pulling off a pointless answer. Only a handful drifted abroad, so we're left with a lot of points.

4. Name a housemate that walked from their series

Shaun - Donny Tourette
Niamh - Jonathan Durden
Matthew. - Megan Lowder
MTVN - Laura McAdam
Rob! - Laura McAdam

Mark, Donny & Laura score 1pt
Jonathan Durden scores 2pts

A strong showing for pointless scores here, considering the world was your oyster... but a big number of pointless BBUK names here too!

5. Name a housemate whose first name begins with the letter B (full name please!)

Shaun - Bastien Grimal
Niamh - Billi Bhatti
Matthew. - Bill 'Bunky' Miller

Tony Montana - Ben Duncan
Jake - Becki Seddiki

I'm afraid I have to discount "Bez" because his full name is Mark Berry
Billi & Belinda score 1pt
Biannca scores 2pts
Becki & Ben score 3pts

Other pointless BBUK names could've been Brian Belo, Brigitte Nielsen, Ben Adams and Becky Hannon.

6. Name a country where Big Brother also has its own original series, other than the UK and USA

Shaun - Slovakia
Niamh - Italy
Matthew. - Italy
MTVN - Romania

Jake - James Hill

Chantelle, Jim & Scotty T score 1pt
Mark, Bez & James score 2pts
Paddy scores 4pts

A very difficult category to pull off a pointless answer in considering there's only 22 possible answers, so well done to those that did. But a lot of other names unused were Sarah Harding, Charlotte Crosby, Stephen Bear, Jack Dee, Shilpa Shetty, Alex Reid, Ulrika Jonsson and Denise Welsh.

8. Name a celebrity that was rumoured with appearing on CBB (UK) but never appeared on the show

Shaun - Alan Fletcher
Niamh - Jody Latham

Babayaro - Mike Lubinski
Cal - Victoria Eisermann
Tony Montana - Shabnam Paryani
Jake - Vanessa Nimmo

Penny, Tamara, Vanessa & Victoria score 1pt
Anouska scores 2pts

Whilst Kitten was technically ejected, I've allowed it as an answer because she did have a live eviction show with Davina.

That's a bit unfair seeing as mark berry's name tag on cbb said bez

[MTVN]

God damn you Brian Dowling still pissing me off in 2020

[Ammi]

...well then...a good start from me to keep you all on your toes...well done Sir MB.....

[Shaun]

Before I accidentally delete all of this and lose everything...

Music

1. Name a studio album released by The Beatles (no Greatest Hits or compilations)
2. Name a member of the UK girl group 'The Saturdays'
3. Name a winner of Best Original Song at the Academy Awards (just a song title will suffice)
4. Pick a section of an orchestra (brass, woodwind, percussion or strings?)
5. Name a single that has reached #1 in the UK Top 40 at some point in 2020
6. Name a song with a colour in its song title
7. Name an annual awards ceremony that celebrates music in some capacity
8. Name a popular UK music festival
9. Name a member of the 27 Club
10. Name a single released by Stevie Wonder

For the Pointless edition: Wikipedia will very much be your friend here. The Beatles had 12 studio albums, so double check which one you submit because some of them were limited country-specific releases. Make sure you don't submit a song that was NOMINATED for Best Original Song instead of actually winning it. For question 10, any single released featuring Stevie Wonder will count, but I won't allow songs he's been sampled in, or songs he's performing an instrument on

[Shaun]

I'm mostly intrigued by Bonnie being the most popular answer for first evictee tbh... I chose her because she sprung to my mind for some reason, but in hindsight I'd have thought everyone would go for the first one, or the most recent very odd

I was open to accepting "Bez" to be honest but I had another member say they wanted to submit Bubble from BB2 despite his first name being Paul... but the question does specifically ask for a full name so it'd be unfair to allow it.

...hush ya face, you...he was only ever known as Bubble so it was a fair question...I actually didn’t know his name was Paul until I googled some BB stuff for the quiz...
