I thought you were just saying little Owen is pointless and yeah, true. He's apparently also bad at trivia shows.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 22/09/2019 18:45

That's Brilliant Popchyk.

So can we use the same style as PL's agent in FWR now?

BertrandRussell · 22/09/2019 15:59

Just watched it. I think Paris and Owen handled it with great charm. And I am not a fan of Paris, and only a fan of half of Owen.......

Popchyk · 22/09/2019 15:44

Oh dear, Forever.

Lees' own agent misgendering them on Twitter.

"ParisLees takes on the quiz that puts obscure knowledge to the test.

Catch him on PointlessCelebs on BBC1 6.10pm".

Has it made his Guardian Column yet?

I’m so puzzled by Owen Jones. I have never come across anyone who can be so fundamentally right about some things and so fundamentally wrong about others.

BertrandRussell · 22/09/2019 10:16

I turned on for round 2 because someone said Victoria Derbyshire was on-I didn’t know who got knocked out til this thread! Might have to go back and watch from the beginning.

I am convinced a Pointless staffer must be GC and was protesting OJ and PL being on the show. There was both a Father Ted clue last night and one that used the abbreviation TIM, I took it as a nod to PL.

I love Pointless and was watching yesterday, too.

Paris Lees seemed very nervous........I'm not sure that most audience members would have been aware of them or who they are. Could pass as female, on first glance, but 'something' not 'quite right'......Very self conscious body language, and at the end when Lees and OJ exited the show, it was interesting to observe an uncomfortable couple of moments when they instinctively went to perform a 'male' type of back slap/hand-shake gesture with each other - to then perform a hug instead.

Owen jones far too cocky and sure of himself for my liking, and Alexander Armstrong made a comment/question, at one point, about whether "he'd moderated some of his views now that he'd grown older".

HirplesWithHaggis · 22/09/2019 03:15

DH loves this show, but when Paris Lees and Owen Jones were introduced I said, "Sorry, we cannot watch this!" He understood my reasons, and by the time they introduced Quentin Letts (we were sharing a certain sense of horrified fascination) he changed the channel. Grin

If he'd have been on with his mum, they'd have won - she's really good at stepping in with an answer when he's floundering.

Coyoacan · 22/09/2019 03:07

Why is this in FWR?

Maybe because he is quite an epic misogynist.

TerfTalk · 22/09/2019 01:40

Why is this in FWR? Confused

Ereshkigal · 22/09/2019 00:31

You beat me to it, ForeverFaithless! Heads will roll... 🤣

LizzieSiddal · 22/09/2019 00:10

Didn’t see the program but Pointless was trending on Twitter.
I read Tweet after Tweet saying how wonderful it was that little OJ had been knocked out so quickly.
He’s usually so right about absolutely everything, I can’t understand how it happened.

I hope he managed not to have a tantrum. 😂

ForeverFaithless · 22/09/2019 00:00

Vulvamort retweeted this, very funny

Omg that would have been great. Wee OJ is tiny and a
Lees looks like standard size for lees gender

nettie434 · 21/09/2019 23:23

Shame really as I thought I heard the Father Ted theme in a later round!

I saw a tweet about that, saying the contestants (I mean celebrities) were too young to recognise what it was. Just imagine OJ & PL’s faces if it had come on while they were still in Grin Grin

Campervan69 · 21/09/2019 23:21

He's tiny (or Paris is huge)

littlbrowndog · 21/09/2019 23:17
