The 1FF GameShow Marathon

[Ciderhead]

Ohh the tension there... that was a massive win down at the bottom of the table

 

[Rammy]

In the final you need to make 3 guesses. I will ask you to please order them in how confident you are they will be pointless. The first being the least confident, and the third being the most confident. Please still discuss this in your PM.

Jackpot Round


Words That Begin With A Vowel And End With …OLOGY

We are looking for any word that has its own entry in the Oxford Dictionary of English that begins with A, E, I, O or U, and ends with the letters ….OLOGY. ‘Ology’ is not an acceptable answer.

We will not allow hyphenated words, trademarks or abbreviations. Where an answer has two variant spellings, such as US and a UK spelling, we will accept either, but we will not accept that answer more than once.

 

[Rammy]

Do we get a choice of topics in the final?

No.

 

[SALTIRE]

You know we all wouldn't do too badly on these gameshows for real (as long as people have been playing fairly here!). Some of the muppets you get on those shows, you wouldn't trust them to wipe their arses.

Why do you keep referring to yourself as "we"?

 

[blade1889]

come on Rammy, they've surely timed out?

 

[last request]

How is Paul Parker a 19? That is madness.

Whenever I've seen Pointless on TV the surveys seem really strange. Like if they genuinely asked 100 people on the street then some of the more obscure answers would never score so high. Maybe they have some panel of 100 who they suggest give varied or less obvious answers or something. It's certainly lacking the integrity of Family Fortunes surveys imo

 

[Rammy]

Team Tinpot's least confident answer is Entomology...

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Don't break the illusion for him or he'll be stuck there forever.

 

[Rammy]

Team Tinpot's least confident answer is Entomology...

...which scored 13.

 

[SUTSS]

Didn't think that one would be pointless

 

[Rammy]

Their second answer is Ophthalmology...

 

[SUTSS]

If this is a word it might have a decent chance

 

[Rammy]

Their second answer is Ophthalmology...

...which scored 4.

 

[markpvfc]

study of sight

 

[Magic]

Hmmm.

 

[Rammy]

Their most confident answer and their final chance of winning the full five points is Ecclesiology...

 

[Oaf]

Who are these dictionaries you asked these questions to, James?

 

[This Charming Mike]

The study of Eccles Cakes?

 

[SALTIRE]

That would be church stuff, but that not theology which would be religion?

 

[Oaf]

Just googling that because I can seeing as we're out...

That is... "The science or theory of church building and decoration"

Why and how would anybody on here know this without Google...?!

SUTSS has a reason!

 

[Rammy]

...is POINTLESS!!!

Team Tinpot jump for joy as they win all five points, and seal their progression to the next stage. Tomorrow night, we will lose one of Team Adidas or League One & A Lemon in a bonus game.

 

[Magic]

YES SUTSS. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Easy mate, ecclesiastical is to do with churches so I'd go from there?

 

[Ciderhead]

Many thanks to SUTSS' aunt!

 

[blade1889]

[The Hand of Dom]

A team of tree huggers and church decoration enthusiasts!

Lucky bastards.

 

[SALTIRE]

Nice one lads, Rammy how much would 'oenology' get?

 

[JonBCFC]

Are only those 2 teams in the bonus game? Well played tinpots..
