anyone watch this last night! uses a lifeline on the £100 question! PMSL! Why go on a quiz show when you know effall!

[barry1010]

Are the questions random or tailored to the contestant?

[Bazile]

Why didn't she pbone a friend , just to ensure she got the thousand .

I bet she thinks about that frequently .

I wouldn't have got that EastEnders one - I've never watch a complete episode as far as I can recall

[Glenbyjess]

Delightful, charming young man. Had two degrees, one of which was Maths, yet able to laugh at himself. Following answers proved his intelligence, which was why, I suspect, he entered the quiz.

[Ken4155]

Completely random, barry.

[barry1010]

Thanks,Ken.

//I'm sure TTT doesn't know everything.// Really? Not the impression he gives.

[barry1010]

Bet he feels a right idiot (TTT, not the contestant). Shouldn't judge without all the facts

[jno]

haven't watched it for years but I would always have used a lifeline early on, especally asking the audience about who did what in Corrie. And yet I've known the answer to several of the million-pound questions.

[ummmm]

Maggie - TTT is a member of Mensa, don't cha know?!!

11.06, Was that a typo and you meant, Densa.?

[ToraToraTora]

11:02, not at all, using 2 lifelines on the first 2 questions is unheard of, even the marsupial woman got those. Not knowing Keith Richards was in the strolling bones is unforgivable.

[naomi24]

Horses for courses, TTT. As I said, questions on celebrity - or television - would cause me to use a lifeline. The chances of me getting the questions higher up the ladder are far more likely.

[nescio]

as Jeremy Clarkson rightly commented, someone thinking Keith Chegwin was in the Rolling Stones will be remembered for many years

[barry1010]

But to be fair, nescio, he had no idea who Keith Chegwin is.
Someone of his age not knowing the members of the Rolling Stones is no more unforgivable than a 50+ man not knowing the members of Little Mix

[jno]

naomi, here are the £1m questions

18 there, I knew 10 for sure and would have guessed three more right. It might have taken me a while to work out the queen's birthday, and never in a million years would I have guessed Borodin.

But I never saw opening rounds I could have got through without using at least one lifeline.

[ToraToraTora]

barry: "Stones is no more unforgivable than a 50+ man not knowing the members of Little Mix " - it's those pick your own sweets thing they did in Woollies right?

[Peter Pedant]

// I'm sure TTT doesn't know everything//
oh

I'm sure TTT DOES know everything

[Peter Pedant]

christ there were quite a few of the millionth ones I had no idea about.

[nescio]

One thing I have noticed on many quiz shows with multiple choice answers is that the contestant often completely rejects one possible answer because, " I have never heard of that". It almost invariably is the correct answer.

[ToraToraTora]

one thing I've noticed too is that invariably 50/50 leaves the 2 I was thinking it was between anyway. No way is it random, as claimed. So for me 50/50 is only any use if I can't rule out 2 myself and usually I can.
