Things that make you think "What in the name of shite is this?"

The Celebrity Inner Circle, with Amanda Holden.
Now I love a quiz show, me.
But I can't get my head around this one and I did actually say out loud to DH (who had the TV on, but was doing other stuff), what in the name of shite is this?
He just shrugged so I'm still none the wiser, so of course I resort to the oracle that is MN! 😂

Yep - I'm with you on this one. I thought surely Amanda Holden can't need the money that much to present such an awful show?!

Split or shaft? Just shaft the show. It's terrible.

Reminds me of dc never understanding the premise of Deal or No Deal, no matter how many times I tried to explain it to them. In their defence, it really is a load of shite.

@cuppacat 😁 Shaft the Show would be a great name for it actually!

There was a show called Shafted with Robert Kilroy Silk. It got cancelled after one episode.

I hate the fact that it’s always the men that take the money ( both ones that I have watched this has happened) then they have to pretend not to be sad about it. It’s a nasty quiz

Tipping Point.

RosesAndHellebores · 26/10/2025 08:28

Keir Starmer.
And unlike many others, Strictly, from the very first series.

TigerRag · 26/10/2025 08:48

Cash trapped which is why I suspect it's not on anymore. I couldn't understand it no matter how many times I watched it

That quiz is AWFUL.

I was just about to say this.

I actually know what it is, but when the kids at school rush about shouting it my eyes roll so far back i fear they'll fall out.

The M&M store in Leicester Square.

That Inner Circle thing starts off as a regular quiz show, then they get all unpleasant about the money and who should go.
Then they stand on the circle to answer other questions.
Then the 2 remaining decide to split the money or shaft the other one. A young Scottish woman wanted the money for some good cause, the man was all smiles and agreed...then pressed "shaft" and won all the money.
Amanda Holden generally wears outfits one would not associate with teatime tv quizzes.

A woman I know what on that and won £50k - her and the other woman chose to share ❤️

RaraRachael · 26/10/2025 18:54

Shit clickbait headlines like "3 things that will send Brits into a coma" etc. No they fucking won't - a serious illness or accident will send someone into a coma.

People get paid for producing this
rubbish and stupid people watch it.

I really despair at how vacuous some people's lives are.

SprayWhiteDung · 26/10/2025 19:06

Golden Balls also did the share or steal (split or shaft) thing at the end. I loved GB, but there are very few episodes on YouTube. I always remember one woman who chose to steal when the jackpot was about £3! Expose yourself on national TV as a dirty liar for the sake of gaining £1.50!!

It's a bit silly when they're given an opportunity to discuss what they're going to do, as of course they always insist that they're going to share, whether they're telling the truth or lying... except for one single time...
