I'd never watched this programme until today and am staggered by its apparent popularity.

It's a simple guessing game that requires no knowledge or skill. So why all the incessant clapping, hooting and hollering ?.

Complete and utter garbage TV.

So don't watch it again, it's not costing you anything.

Complete and utter garbage TV.

I've no intention of watching it again. I'm neither brain dead nor a masochist

It's a simple idea - and the gamble may pay off, OR the contestant may lose badly.

Makes it quite good fun, tense etc.. as a rule... But I got fed up with the theatricals.. At the end of the day it is random.
