    I think they are going to have to make it a bit easier. People are switching off in their droves I reckon

    You have to admit their questions were very easy. On most other "Celeb" quizzes (Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Eggheads, Weakest Link) the questions are the same regular contestants would get. It too has left a sour taste in my mouth.

    Maybe with the other 2 shows but i seem to remember seeing a few weakest link celeb episodes and my 4 year old could have answered the questions correctly

    I don't think their questions were easier. The only one they had an edge on was the combined ages question because they knew one of the answers. Besides that the difficulty of questions was about the same. And they only left with £50k. I don't see anything wrong with it.

    And we start with Raymond and Mo from up north - and Mo is old enough to be Raymond's mother...

    Leaving out Larry Lamb, have the producers finally realised that having under-40s all the time isn't such a good idea?!

    Love this tweet:

    "If Tom Jones was 51 today, he would have released 'Its not unusual' when he was 5."

    And the answer to this next question's obviously Newsnight...

    Davina: "Coleen Nolan, Barbara Windsor, Cheryl Cole - or me." :D:D

    Then "You left myself clear" and "I've released a few." :D

    Somehow these two are going to succeed in getting further than Raymond and Mo...

    Reeee-sult!

    Does anyone else ever-so-slightly cringe when Davina asks people how we're doing at home? And then waits for a response, and gives a thumbs-up?

    That's the definition of "blown it" IMHO!

    And Davina wasn't lying there - someone really did get cheeky and edit Tom Jones's Wikipedia page to say he was born on 5 November 1959.

    Didn't last long, though...

    Davina adds nothing to this show.

    It's a good format, it doesn't her adding fake sincerity to the contestants.

    To be fair, if she didn't call the two girls retards for thinking Tom Jones is only 51, I don't think she ever will.

    She act as if it is beneath her being a game show hostess. I find her very very insincere - a female Dermot O'Leary - who I can't stand either

    Looks like you were proved wrong.

    But they obviously hadn't really heard of the Isle of Sheppey...

    They upset me by being right on a total guess!

    I was hoping they would pick Isle of Man just so I could laugh at them!

    I guess they're not your cup of tea then.

    I have to admit, they're not really my cup of tea either - though they're not quite as bad as those two last night who thought Tom Jones was 51...
