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.

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

Of course doesn’t everybody

I do. If I don’t answer the question out loud I haven’t got it right even if I do know the answer.

Blimey yes! I think it keeps my brain active when I can get (some/most) answers before the contestants on the easier shows - Tipping Point and The Chase mainly.
When DH was alive and at times not so mobile, we’d settled down at 4pm to watch both, then spot on 6, I’d head to the kitchen for a glass of wine and to start dinner, while he’d stay and watch the news, being an avid watcher. I miss those days.

Yes, particularly when the family is together, we have our own little competition to see who knows the most answers. I love quizzes.

Wondering if any GNs talk back to Tv with answers for The Chase/ Lingo/ University Challenge/Eggheads or Jeremy Vine et al .. always feel a bit High when I guess/answer correctly😊
