I didn't realise it had started already.

By my reckoning then, James and I are on on Friday 29th October. We were told our (first?) show was number 45 of 50. I will confirm once we hear something from the production team.

What do people think of the new round 2? I have just watched show 1 (Monday) and thought it was an extremely hard category! If you haven't seen it, you had to identify films from their (not so obvious) tag lines.

FWIW we got three pointless answers on the final question as it was a category we'd revised. Nice to know revision isn't wasted.

That second round was a bit tricky, but you can so often rely on the contestants to be completely rubbish (the Mediterranean question was amazing) you have to be pretty unlucky not to manage it. Still don't like some of the head to head questions, too.

Edit: Just watching episode 2 - the superhero alter-ego one is amazing. I'm pretty sure they stole that from our "ideal question" on the application form.

I only caught the middle round and would've got "Enter The World" - Avatar for a pointless answer and "On the air, unaware." - The Truman Show for one point. I had no idea the Titanic tagline was "Collide with Destiny though.

Out of interest what was the Final question, Karen? I missed the end :roll:

I wish someone would pick the chemistry jackpot question - I can't see what it could be other than elements (which would be awesome) or maybe Nobel Prize winners. I'm quite keen to see the universities question too. Couldn't believe the couple today went for music festivals given how they were talking about it beforehand.

I agree about chemistry. We'd have chosen that if we'd had it as we'd revised both the periodic table and nobel prize winners.

The only thing that comes to mind on universities is the Ivy League unis in the USA. If it is, then my three attempts at Pointless answers are the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell and Columbia (or maybe Brown). No doubt, no one will chose it so we'll never know!

Yeah, that seems a pretty good bet. The only other things I can think of is Russell Group or maybe universities founded before a certain date, but Ivy League seems the much more likely one.

I immediately thought of Oxford or Cambridge colleges for the university question, or have they had that before?

Only caught up on the shows yesterday - still laughing at Dominican Republic.

No, not yet. Me and my sister were wondering about the Universities question too. Hopefully someone will pick it before it goes.

Interesting also that they brought back the list round in round 1 (the citrus fruits round).

I suppose that's possible too, although it seems a bit easy given how many there are, and how I imagine most people could barely name a handful.

Yep, there are two types of Round 1 question now.

Just caught up on Tuesday's show - really hard Q2 again! I know Michael & CF had prepared this one but we hadn't so I'm very glad it didn't come up for us. I was even struggling to remember who Bruce Wayne was! :oops:

Of course today's Round 1 was just a pleasure for me, Bond Villains.

Surprised that 006 and not Mr. White was the "Pointless" in the 2nd set.

I'm not sure that's all that surprising - the new round 2 lends itself much more to very high scores than the open ended "name as many $things as you can". Really frustrated about chemistry not getting picked, but given last series it may well reappear under a slightly different topic.

He's at the age where you tell loads of jokes without checking they make sense, and then expecting everyone else to find them funny. I went through that phase, just not on an internet forum (Start of being a sycophant) where there are some genuinely funny and intelligent people (End of being a sycophant).

Neither, it was the original normal round where you just gave an answer.

Yeah, it was pretty bad - I really don't know why you'd risk going on a game show if you're a teacher. You'd have to be either pretty confident of how awesome a teacher you are that your kids won't care, or pretty confident that you won't make a tit of yourself.

I'm guessing not geography teacher. That would put the icing on the cake for hilarity! I don't know what I'd have gone with, California and Florida are certainly not gona be Pointless, I'd have probably took a stab at some of the New England states.

Maths, teacher, unfortunately.

New England is a good area for it, yeah. My US geography picked up a lot when I was prepping for Pointless last series, and I think knowing there were 22 correct answers helps a bit. Surprisingly there weren't any pointlesses, although a couple of my picks (Delaware and New Hampshire - the only state to border Maine, which came up in something else vaguely recently) were amongst the lowest scoring with 3. The best was Maryland, which was worth 1, I think.

More awesome stuff today, with only 93 people knowing that the UK uses the pound. (This was in the "we give you a list of countries and you tell us their currency" round, so there's no "oh I just forgot to mention Germans speak German" reasoning.)

Also shocking was axis powers from the Second World War - only about 30 people mentioned Italy, 28 mentioned Germany, and 15 mentioned Japan. Crazy.
