is it just me or did JG say at the very start there that they were giving €300 for ANY 3 letter or more word?

Not exactly. He said "make a word using at least three of the letters".
Later in his preamble he did imply that the word had to match the word in the envelope.

for real! they went full screen for the "puzzle" but his mic was left on when he blurted it out! cue two minutes of silence as took care of business

It's unbelieveable, what next with this shower, it's probably something that is going on all the time but mike turned off in the past. What about all the callers wasting their money during this time. I know the chances of getting through are slim but with J.G. draining the spuds the chances are nil.

JG's last show, it's the end of playTV as we know it!! now we'll be left with those other two....

YOU WHAT?!

last show?

Truly the end of a era.

It's been emotional

Our man in Havana

His conscience must have finally gotten the better of him.

Did he announce his retirement tonight?

Wonder where he's heading?

Probably see him on Brainbox next week!

Aren't they using a split-screen trick here?? (like Derren Brown used to guess the lotto numbers)

The solution bit you can see is a fake, and the real black board next to the host can be changed without us seeing it?

Thats the reason for the weird artefacts on screen when he moves across the blackboard.

Is that possible?

they just inverted the colours on part of the screen

or are making it greyscale more accurately

Doubt it though,. do you?

I'd say he's had enough of travel etc.

Maybe he got a better offer, never know where he'll turn up next

He's got a good radio voice, I think.

Ah you're right. I see now. The blackboard is actually yellow so he can write easily and they want to make it look like a blackboard.

he's taking a break. he could end up on the Italian version of playTV!!

I'm quite positive about JG's exit, yes he's pure class but I see it as a new beginning! Admittedly we run the risk of another Lauren but we may get a new funkier version of JG? I'm intrigued and quite excited!!!


I need to get out more

highnc

we'll probably have Lauren and Fiona alternating for the next week or two until they find a new person.

which is good news for me as i can have an early/earlier night than usual!

We also run the risk of having the old Lauren on for more than one or two nights in a row for a week or two. OMG:eek:

JG as a woman

For some reason, I thought the 2-faced visual-effect suited him.

However, they've lost their best presenter.

carolluke1

Mollie, are ya alright, take slow, deep breaths, it's not the end of the world (could be the end of Playtv) Remember every cloud has a silver lining.

BMollie
