Only Connect (BBC4)

I don't want to sound big headed, but have the questions got easier? I seem to be getting 2 or 3 connections from the first couple of rounRAB each week, last series I usually only got 1.

I'm usually better att he missing vowels round
 
Me too! I have no interest in horse racing but it's one of those useless facts I carry around in my head.

I never knew Pakistan was an acronym though. You learn something new every day...
 
My son noticed one thing last night...

The righthand contestant from the Gamblers (not DavidBill) kept glancing down during their wall. So I rewound it to check and VC's "attributes" were in his eyeline! :)

I was quite pleased with myself. I got more that usual. I got the MBE on the first clue :D
And I was pleased with the vowels round. I got quite a few and liked the DeJa Vu joke.

I got the wall connection but unfortunately thought it was Judo not Cricket :o
 
I'm torn like kennyT the missing vowels round is the only one where I consistently score points but I don't thinnk it is fair that a relatively easy round like that could have cost the gamblers their win.

Why couldn't they do a free-for-all version of round one?
 
350-400 is our usual rating, although it did get up to as high as 505k at the end of last series.

I would think once Antiques Master finishes, and there's no Dr Who prom, then the ratings ought to rise. We'll see.
 
I knew the team with the Chaser would win...

Incidentally is the format for this series the same as last year's i.e. 8 heats then quarter-finals, semis and final?
 
But, remember DavidBill's comment that they deliberately decided to be careful during that round so they didn't lose any points so that significantly contributed to the good round their opponents had.

It's good fun - I stumbled upon when it started a few weeks ago. Being wittily and sternly presented by La Coren doesn't hurt either.
Exciting tie-break finish tonight too! Don't want to spoil the climactic denouement for anyone watching a later showing, hence the spoiler ...
 
Questions were very engaging. Although, they risk alienating much of their audience with unattractive nerdy contestants seemingly picked for they obvious gawkiness and the use of superfluous Greek letters etc.

I can see it getting a "zero" ratings recorded.
 
Oh thanks, I'd never heard that one before. Well I've learnt my new thing for the day so I can relax now....

They still wear collars though, right?
 
David - will we get new walls next week please?

I've completed four, totally failed on one, and on the others have had varying degrees of success from getting two connections and knowing what one of the others was but running out of time/lives to knowing what some of the connections were but being unable to connect the correct four. Can't work out if they're easier than the ones on the programme, or whether I was inspired. :D
 
I'd say her humour is more along the lines of sarcasm than irony and the way she comes across would appear she's trying to ridicule others less intelligent in order to make herself look superior. Sorry but I find her whole attitude very arrogant and condesending. But having not read her column in the Guardian I will reserve judgement on that.
