Tazio Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Raging. I got every bloody question right and even needed the same 50/50 as him for the same reason. It could have been me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Given the odds of anyone getting onto the programme especially given the few number of programmes in the Clarkson era it is a bit of a coincidence that two brothers have won £1.5m between them. Tonight's show was an anticlimax as the pre publicity meant it was obvious after a few questions that this was the promised millionaire for the series. By the time we were half way through all tension and uncertainty had gone. Clarkson's fawning over the contestant was also disappointing (I preferred his more abusive style in previous series) and his hysterical reaction to a million quid win OTT given he is hardly short of the odd multiple million himself.

Chaps Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Loved the show back in the day. Can’t bare to watch it with that dick Clarkson hosting it. Well done to the winner though. Some achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you watch that TV show 'Quiz' about Charles Ingram? That showed multiple people that knew each other got on the show as there was a format the show worked to in contestant selection. (Ingram's wife and brother in law were previous contestants). I wouldn't have thought it still to be the case, but must be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Caine Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Did anybody else find it strange that this guy was the last contestant top appear in this series? We go five shows and his achievement is the climax of the five shows. Clever editing? Or pure chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel clarkson adds a bit of reasonable banter to it which possibly relaxes the contestants a little. Agreed. Clarkson was refreshing at first because he would mildly take the piss out of contestants and in a few cases go further when it was deserved. There was an arrogant bloke in one of his first series who announced he was "professional poker player" (he meant he played on-line) and got to £16,000 then gambled on a 50/50 chance where he clearly had no idea of the answer and lost £15,000. Clarkson like I am sure most of the audience clearly enjoyed that. But last night Clarkson seemed to have morphed into Tarrant with OTT mateyism, enthusiasm and emotion (close to tears at one point) and what sounded like a scripted reaction. The winner was much calmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Brown Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Didn't sit too great with me. Brother a previous big winner. No trivia question. Just seemed set up. Probably knowing there was to be a £1m winner, it became quite obvious that it was to be him, so any excitement/tension was totally ruined. But he bloody knew the answers, so there was no tension. Possibly, why they decided to press release, it would add extra viewing figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, why they decided to press release, it would add extra viewing figures. It was all over social media. I was told last Sunday by a mate (who is friends with a colleague of his) that the guy hadn't been back to work - so speculation was rife that he'd won the £1m long before the show was broadcast.

heartsfc_fan Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Am I one of the few people that actually think Clarkson is better than Tarrant? Much more entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
