Re: The Weakest Link
But Anne Robinson is such a cunt at pronouncing things. When she asks, for example "What is a horse: an animal or a plant?" it comes out sounding like "What is a horse, an animal or a plant?" if you see what I mean. Once I remember she asked a question that had two options, but there was no indication in advance that there would be options, and she paused before saying them so the guy starting answering (as you would) but she then acted as if he was a total freak for interrupting her. I think at least one of the others voted for him in that round for that reason as well.Matt Morrison wrote:"Is there more oxygen or nitrogen in air?"Ryan Taylor wrote:The first episode of The Weakest Link was just shown which I've never seen.

I can't watch Weakest Link because of the way she pronounces "thousand".Gavin Chipper wrote:But Anne Robinson is such a cunt at pronouncing things.

Good stuff, just caught up with this on iPlayer. Good to see it's about as boring as it always was (but with some bonus awkward shuffling).Ryan Taylor wrote:The first episode of The Weakest Link was just shown which I've never seen. It was fricking hilarious!!!
Watching it has reminded me how I always feel they should have a rule where if the strongest link gets the most votes, then they get to choose who gets eliminated. I know people probably like the whole "vote off the best guy in the final round" thing, but it just pisses me off.

Re: The Weakest Link
What I like about this is that the contestant must've interpreted the question as "Is there more oxygen or less in air?", which doesn't even make grammatical sense.Matt Morrison wrote:"Is there more oxygen or nitrogen in air?"Ryan Taylor wrote:The first episode of The Weakest Link was just shown which I've never seen.

But yeah, what Gevin said. A lot of the howlers are unfair because Anne Robinson is a tard (see here).

Re: The Weakest Link
Really? It comes across to me as interpreting it as "Is there more or less oxygen than nitrogen in air?". We need to track this guy down and find out the truth.Charlie Reams wrote:What I like about this is that the contestant must've interpreted the question as "Is there more oxygen or less in air?", which doesn't even make grammatical sense.Matt Morrison wrote:"Is there more oxygen or nitrogen in air?"Ryan Taylor wrote:The first episode of The Weakest Link was just shown which I've never seen.

Re: The Weakest Link
Oh yeah, maybe that's it. Which isn't funny at all, because it's a pretty natural guess that oxygen would be the majority gas in the atmosphere. You party-pooper.Michael Wallace wrote:Really?

Sorry to bump after Charlie pointed to this thread but this is excellent. I don't understand it at all. I especially love that it was edited to get to this point.Eoin Monaghan wrote:Only a few weeks ago a painter from Ireland won the prize on Weakest Link. Forget his name, though.

Re: The Weakest Link
A repeat of Dinos's appearance on Weakest Link is on BBC2 as I type.
It should go on to BBCiplayer and be there for a week.

Re: The Weakest Link
Jason! Ffs! Like, spoilerz an' all. Now I've got a smarttv I don't sky+ much. Lemme guess - he went on to the final but didn't win as much as he should do (because of his awesomeness) because the team weren't any good?*

Marvellous - just watched it courtesy of the 'Catchup TV' feature on our lovely shiny new BT Vision box. My previous comments still apply.Julie T wrote:A repeat of Dinos's appearance on Weakest Link is on BBC2 as I type.

Edit: you'd think from what he actually put I'd be bright enough to work it out, but apparently not
