Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spells &amp; Karma" data-source="post: 255317" data-attributes="member: 23">With Pointless, I love that it rewards knowledge for being more trivial or obscure, so it's great if you get a round that's a topic that really suits you. Some of the rounds can be killers, though, if it's a subject about which you know very little. If I were to be a contestant, I'd be more worried of making a fool of myself on Pointless if I got something like sport or monarchs for my first round than I would about getting a couple of wrong answers in the cash builder on The Chase. I know a couple of people that can't get their head round the premise of Pointless, even when I've explained it's basically Family Fortunes in reverse. I love both shows for different reasons. In recent weeks I'm opting for The Chase while I prepare dinner because I'm a bit fed up with Richard Osman's ubiquitousness (not that Bradley Walsh isn't, of course, but Osman's omnipresence bothers me more for reasons I won't rant about here).</blockquote>
