Plenty of people ask 'pointless', 'vacuous' questions on AB, though not in their opinion, and I can't see anything wrong in that.

don't understand
Presumably because it wasn't the correct answer - what was the full question?
..... nor me!

Why are you watching answer bank? this site is for people who want answer to questions. it's nothing to do with you what people want to know,unless of course you have the answer.
sorry - just agreeing with 'weecalf'
The question must have been a bit more than "Damask". What was the full question please?
eh
Question Author
The question was "what type of flower is Damask" correct answer was Rose which he answered correctly
The repeat shows on Challenge are edited. The contestant must have waffled, changed their mind, and walked away with £150K. If they'd been wrong they would have dropped back down to 32K

My first reply "why are you watching, etc" was directed at "maggiebee"

It doesn't matter if they change their minds,sandyRoe, once they say "final answer" then their answer is locked in

They always give the correct answer when someone gets one wrong,
You were watching, so what was it?
are you saying tarrant would not accept a correct answer and let me go off with 150000

As I've said , Baldric, the answer was Rose,which he said correctly
If anyone really wants the full facts you can watch this here. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Not sure what you mean by nothing out of the ordinary II_billym, he said the words " final answer " therefore he had won £250,000
I've been thinking about this for a while and yes you are right, it looked like he did say final answer but corrected himself before Chris said anything, after this he did have plenty of time to confirm if that was his final answer again though and bottled it so in my mind neither he, nor you should find wrong in this situation. Close call though, good spot.
Because he didn't say it firmly enough for CT to be sure it really was his actual final answer. I'm not sure he finished the word "answer". Didn't the woman before, in the link posted by ll_billym, also say "final answer" when she said she'd take the money, but then changed her mind and lost?
Was it not tarrant being his usual all pally act .the guy did not go for it .glad that show is over a classical example of greed ,people being used for cheap entertainment .
