Have we done "Pointless"?
Yeah, I wonder about the identity of the 100 people too – not just because of anomalies like the above but also because sometimes the numbers actually seem to be too high for an average cross section of the population (but much more plausible if it’s a specific subset, eg people aged 18-30).
One of my favourite sets of wrong answers was from the question ‘Name a US state with a coastline’. The first of the pair – a teacher! – said ‘Mexico’, and his partner followed that up with ‘Orlando’.
Also, is it just my imagination or does the show attract a higher than average number of gay contestants?
