Why didn't I choose, Bach?

I was going too, he seemed the obvious answer to me, I just didn't realise many knew of his greatness. Turned out to be very costly. I went for, Chopin.

[Alf]

Whoever else went for "Wham" for the duo question, then we were right, it's all the rest who were wrong.

Wham > Pet shop boys

I was so close to putting Madonna for the talentless question, but then a Pitbull song came on the radio. So I was right for choosing a straight male it seems, I just didn't pick the right one...

[Ashley.]

I think that was my best round yet? Am I still at the bottom of the leaderboard, Shaun? Surely not...

[Shaun]

remember when I said rounds 8-10 might be easier... sheeeeeesh (just had to explain the correct and valid answers to Ammi, I need a lie-down now)

[Ammi]

…I’m just reading Shaun’s answers guidance…

[Ammi]

…followed by…

[Cherie]

do we need to be guided on pointless?

[Cherie]

Also would be it possible to have round 10 posted please as I wont be here at the weekend and I think this will finish Sunday?

[Shaun]

Sure, that should be fine since they're all very simple Qs I think... *heads to the wordpad file to be instantly proved wrong*

[Shaun]

people can submit these ones whenever, but I won't consider Round 10 "open" until after I've revealed the Round 9 scores anyway... so you've got until next Monday to send these ones in

1) Name one of the UK's main supermarket chains
2) Name one of the three meals you (supposedly) have throughout the day
3) Name something you might use to keep cool during the summer
4) Name something you might use to keep warm during the winter
5) Name something you might find on a bathroom floor
6) Name a day that your husband or wife wouldn't appreciate you forgetting
7) Name a popular brand of shampoo

9) Name somewhere you might find a queue
10) Name someone you wouldn't want knowing about your sex life
11) Name someone from the last year who is regarded as a hero
12) Name something that you would keep locked
13) Name a website with an annoying TV advert
14) Name a hospital wing that receives a lot of visitors every day
15) Name something that people commonly have a phobia of

REMEMBER: If you wish to take part in this game, you must PM your answers to me. Discussion of the answers in any form in this thread (or indeed elsewhere) is not permitted, and I'll have to penalise you for cheating or attempting to influence others' answers.

Round 10 will be open until Monday, 10 May (at roughly the same time as this, probably?)

Also Shaun I don't actually think Madonna is untalented I just thought a lot of people would say her
