Someone just answered a "Dallas" question incorrectly

[Sarah]

They deserved to lose. Imagine not knowing who the QUEEN OF THE WORLD IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Taylor Bennett Jr. - I've been to Sue Ellen's in Dallas. And JR's...

 

[Sea - Boo! - Er]

On the basis that it sounded most like a character from Dallas and the most "Southern", he opted for Sue Ellen.

Sometimes logic goes a long way in those quiz shows. You've got to give him that at least.

I'm not accepting any excuses at this time

This is true. Even though the logic was flawed in that all three were characters on the series (he seemed to think that only one was a genuine character), it made sense for him to make a deduction with the little information he had.

One of his teammates used similar logic in choosing the English name of a flower from the Latin name. He chose the only one he'd heard of and it proved to be correct. That kind of thing happens a lot in quizzing.

When watching these series, I frequently get the correct answer immediately based on instinct or logic, but will then sometimes start doubting myself and trying to look for complications. Which I suppose is what creates the drama in series with multiple choice answers like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Refer to article on excuses above.

Although I am tempted to go a little easier on him for realising she is indeed, real.

A Dallas question featured in the Answer Smash round of House Of Games tonight, on the theme of swimmers. The point is that the object in the image leads into the answer to the question. So they get smashed together.

There was a picture of this bloke:

Along with the question:
"What was the name of the family in the TV series Dallas."

Spoiler: And the answer was...

Duncan Goodhewing

Don't do that, Sarah. Not unless you've got a nice Chianti in.



Besides... that was actually the correct answer. The reply needs to be both answers smashed together. That's why it's called "Answer Smash".

For instance, they might show this picture:

With the question "Who did Dawn French used to be married to?"





The answer, of course, would be "Sue Ellenny Henry"​

A very natural mistake. Richard Osman is the King Of Teatime Quizzes, after all.

Classic Pointless gaffe: JR Ewing or JFK?

A contestant gets rather confused on the popular quiz show but gives everyone a good laugh.

In yesterday's House Of Games, three contestants each had to give one word to the fourth as a clue to a TV show. The words they chose were:

• Oil
• Texas
• Cowboys

I'm sure we can all guess the answer. Angellica Bell correctly guessed the answer from the clues and gave Gyles Brandreth the point since she'd got it from "Oil".

Ooh sorry I missed that one!!! @Mel O'Drama what time is it on?

Its a dream of mine to get on a game show and miraculously get a Dallas question. Like put me on Tenable. I’d clean up.

6pm on BBC2. It's a great show. Really creative.

I'm ashamed to admit I watch TV that early in the evening, but it's the perfect background for pottering about the kitchen starting to prepare dinner.

Anyway, fear not. It's all repeats, and the entire series is on YouTube. Here's the episode, and the clues for the show come at 21 mins:

You could have it as your specialist subject on Mastermind and impress John Humphrys.

Mastermind is filming in Belfast at the mo. I was working on the last series with the audience. I was scared someone would get a Dallas question and I’d shout all over the studio. @Mel O'Drama

Victoria was an answer on Pointless today, people who have initials VIP in their name in that order

I have no idea who B and E were - the guy at E stole the Mona Lisa from the louvre

Ha ha. I was watching that one as well. VP popped into my head as soon as I saw the theme of the round and I smiled when she appeared as expected.

I thought she'd be a big scorer, but she was only in the low twenties which surprised me.

I have no idea who B and E were - the guy at E stole the Mona Lisa from the louvre

Yes. One of the pairs got B right, but I was still none the wiser about what she's known for.

A question from a repeat of The Chase this evening:

Waterloo At Southfork is an episode of which American soap?

Naturally, The Beast got it correct right away.

 

[Spells & Karma]

On a "Celebrity" Special of The Chase on TV tonight a "journalist" named Anna Richardson was asked which Dallas character emerged from the shower in 1986 after a year long dream.

She passed.

I don’t find this acceptable at all.
