I KNOW THE PRESENTERS ARE NEW but..........

Post by Rita Watts »

I wish Rachel Riley would put the declared words up on the board. It's beginning to annoy me very much.

I think we need a thread of the week to go with GOTW.

Is it anything do to with the fact most shots of Rachel and the best word look as though they are done after the end of the game? The letters in the Vowel/Consonent boxes are always quite empty. Is it a change in filming since it never seems as though Jeff would give Rachel enough time to display it?

Carol sometimes would be seen to do it whilst Richard was talking, but things change...

You seem to be under the impression that it's somehow the new presenters' fault.

Hi, Rita!

If you're a new member to the forum, welcome!

It would be fitting for you to tell us about yourself since we don't know, but are you angry?

And Ben, did you use Photoshop?

By w/c 23rd Feb, you will see Rachel putting a winning/interesting word up on the board for almost every round - and in some cases TWO words! :shock:

You're in danger of having your yawns yawned at if you dish them out quite so liberally Charlie! Not by me of course, I'm just saying...
