Tv Quizzes - do you participate?

My favourite quiz is 'Pointless'. I always call the answers out. But some of the recent episodes are a repeat of last year. I recognised some of the contestants.

Yes! Liking Puzzling with Lucy Worsley too.

We just talk to the TV whenever! 😆😆
Especially if the news is on (BBC, in particular, as it gets our goats up).
I used to love my eldest GS watching the quizzes with me after school as we'd both shout out the answers!

I'm not keen on Lingo as there isn't a correct answer to shout at the tv.

I do a lot of yelling during The Chase but the contestants never hear me.

Particularly proud of myself when watching sudden death Eggheads one day when I got one right that Kevin got wrong.

*Beechnut’ I can just imagine how proud you must have felt!

Pointless sometimes, House of Games, Mastermind mainly for the general knowledge and Only Connect. We’re in a weekly quiz team, so it all helps.

Richard Osman’s House of Games + glass of chilled white wine at 6pm, family know not to ring.

University Challenge, 1% Club, The Chase & Tipping Point DH is surprised at my knowledge of things that are no use to man or beast but win quizzes 🤣🤣🤣

To Tink and GeorgesGran and other grans on their own lots of sympathy
When my late mum lost my dad she used to play for both of them,I didn't realise until I asked her why she didn't watch University Challenge anymore she said only dad could answer those questions. She also never bought a lottery ticket but always wrote the numbers down she thought would win. If they had come up she would have fainted.

I miss them too Georgesgran DH died in the spring. Not the same quizzing alone is it?

Same here. Those afternoon quizzes were a bit of a life saver…as well as the 6pm glass of wine. 😃

Really think I may have memory problems was always very alert and not confused with signs/symbols but some of the games I’ve played recently show poor cognitive skills.. has anyone felt like this?

I like Richard Osman's House of Games and the 1% club, and always shout out the answers. I am quite good at both, which I suppose is why I enjoy them. I usually get almost to the end of 1%, but have never got the final answer right. I am missing HOG at the moment so have resorted to recording old episodes on the Dave channel.
If I was participating in a general knowledge quiz on TV I would have to learn more about football and films, my weak subjects.

I like 1% club but haven’t got down there yet.. stuck on 15% which am amazed by..

I’m in a quizz team so the chase is a must.
Pointless is pointless.
I refuse to watch or listen to jeramy vine. A shame as my team were on Eggheads some years ago.

My DH gets annoyed when I call out the answers though.

I love some quizzes - The Chase is my current favourite as the questions come along quite quickly. I find Eggheads a bit slow between questions.

I am currently watching The 1% Club where I get most of the questions right but have thought that there was sometimes more than one correct answer, depending on how you looked at it. The questions aren't particularly hard, you just have to get into the right mindset.

I can't abide Pointless. I like House of Games.

I do watch Only Connect and Puzzling but struggle with some of the questions.

I LOVE quizzes .......... I even record very old "Who wants to be a millionaire?" from 2001 to watch when there's nothing else on I want to watch. I'd love to know how the people who won shed loads of money on these programmes got on?

Yes I think they are testing me too.. went to a games afternoon with friends, and my word recall in matching simple symbols to words was embarrassing slow/poor -thought I must try to keep brain working.. I don’t like Pointless.. never seem to get anything correct…

The other night.

Autocorrect gets it wrong.

I am addicted to University Challenge in particular, and Only Connect. As far as I’m concerned, they exist to test me. I often don’t know or care who has won onscreen.

I got something on Only Connect the other tonight which neither team could answer 😀

Mind you, I can't remember what it was !

Oh yes. I'm a little mouse in real life but I've been known to shout at the TV 'Fancy not knowing that you dimwit'.

I only watch Richard Osman's House of Games and yes - enjoy taking part. I know he's recorded another series so looking forward to it appearing.

I love Quizzes, though I’m still trying to get the hang of Pointless and that other new Quiz
