The quiz is actually called "Take On The Twisters" Why do GK quizzes seem to want clever people in their quizzes. They spend thousands travelling round the country looking for contestants and interview thousands of contestants. Then a new series comes on a year later and the whole process is repeated. What a waste of money. Nearly all TV quiz companies treat...

"Can't believe how thick some of them are"

Lol

Thinking exactly the same thing curvylady
Whenever you are giving away money on a quiz show, you tend to turn away people who are more likely to win lots of it, and accept those people who aren't going to clean up. 'Twas ever thus...

What made me laugh is Louis thought the War of the Roses was between the House of York and the Tudors after he said he was a history student.
Probably that's a factor Jim, it's a bit depressing when contestants precede their answer with:
I did history at school and then answers the War of the Roses was between York and ... the Tudors (then wishes he'd picked Stuarts}
I did some French at school then picks Daisy as a flower named from the French to think.
I applied to the Chase and wasn't accepted. I'm not bitter, honest!
a risible bunch
It is hard to believe that given three options to name the royal yacht, one of the contestants picked HMS Ark Royal.
Truly dreadful, won't be watching that, I saw 5 minutes of it, that was plenty.
I used to enjoy the chase.
It's not even in the same league as The Chase, it's not fit to lick the boots of The Chase - when's it back?
^ Agree. The Chase was nearly Mastermind quality compared to this

Yeh Ark Royal, that was another dumb answer.
i'm sure that some contestants are selected for their entertainment value based on their ignorance
The only people on twitter with a good word for this show, or the contestants on it, are those responsible for making it.
No offence to the presenter, but her voice is hard to listen to.

How can you have a serious quiz like todays programme when you ask questions like (1) What is the third letter of the alphabet. and (2) When did London last hold the Olympics
Tonight's players thought that greyhounds were the animal that took part in Point to point races. Then another said Brazil was in South Africa. Another said that France was the continent that the Alps were in. Also Lady Chatterley 's what was far too hard. Certainly a one series quiz if it makes it to the end on this one.
My team did a interview for Eggheads against another team. You had to have 6 people for the interview and every one beat the other team and the team game at the end. Never heard another thing from them and could not believe that the team we beat 7-0 turned up on the programme
That seems to prove jim right mick.
Tuvok - I know what you mean about her voice, overall I think Julia Bradbury is a bit 'blokey' if you know what I mean. She has the make up & the tossled hair & nice figure but she's not very feminine is she (IMHO of course)
Bring back The Chase!
I too, watched about ten minutes of this new programme., that was enough for me. I wont be watching it again.
Bring back the chase it was 100% better than this rubbish!
