Child genius on tonight

[Emochild]

Change of quiz master this year

Hopefully the parents are a bit more media savy this time round

[Emochild]

I can't be the only excited one!

Hi Emochild, I love child genius, I'll be recording it tonight, I'm a bit pissed off that Richard Osman is quizmaster though, he gets on my nerves a bit, I hope he's as good as the guy who used to do it and keeps his "witty repartee" to himself though

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

Am hoping priggish right wing child is not on it or I will want to punch the telly

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

He will be though

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

Aww I would have quite liked him if they hadn't shown that benefit bashing bit. He is quite endearing.

[CarolAird]

Mog?!

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

Well I posted the first bit after they showed him saying goes some children don't try at school because they rely on benefits.

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

*saying not saying goes, tablet keeps inserting random words

[LavenderRains]

Mogs dad looks at him like wtf have I created!

Christopher's dad is far too pushy imo. He's under too much pressure to win

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

Yes, and he seems like a nice kid

[thatstoast]

just tuned in and a child was crying so that's a good start!

[BoGrainger]

Hmm. I like Richard Osman sparring with Alexander Armstrong but on his own he lacks something. I liked the old one

[EverySongbirdSays]

The parents on this though. Christ.

"Well, I would have loved the opportunity"

and your child is NOT you

What opportunities do they want to pursue.

I was an Hermione and would have volunteered for this. I'm not expecting my children to be my clones.

[Emochild]

Feeling sorry for max

[BoGrainger]

Say it every year - it's not fair getting eliminated if your strengths are in the later rounds!! Aaargh

[Emochild]

I remember Curtis!

[QuimReaper]

Isn't tonight the first episode?

I wonder what Mog can be short for, I've never met a Mog!

[NapQueen]

Mogwi?

He is amazing! And his parents seem normal assuming preggo hormones for name choice

The other parents are frankly pushy selfish adults trying to relive their lives through their kids.

[QuimReaper]

Christopher's Dad seems like a nightmare

[LavenderRains]

I like mog, he's doing it for himself.
Christopher dad is a nightmare, poor lad

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

Christopher is more well balanced than his dad

[cakeboastname]

Ugh . I've never come across this programme before. Poor kids.

[EverySongbirdSays]

Mog is short for Morgan they called him Morgan before.

Christopher seemed SO sad. He clearly isn't doing it by choice.

[bakingcupcakes]

I can't cope with the fact Christopher's Dad's glasses arn't straight. It was the first thing I noticed.

[EverySongbirdSays]

Quim yes it's the first episode, one of this years contestants is the younger sibling of a prior contestant. Sophia/Curtis
