AIBU to think that in pointless...

[cogitosum]

If they get more than one pointless answer on the final they should get an extra £1000 for each answer?

Last night they had 3 pointless answers but got the same jackpot as if they'd got one. I think they should get a bit more!

(aware this is the most (ironically) pointless thread! Just pondering!)

I am pleased to report that there is no Pointless fanfic on fanfiction.net, although that doesn't mean it's not out there somewhere...

Oh my God, there is. More than one piece.

Disclaimer: I don't know whether those links work. I didn't want to go further than the Google results page and have mental images seared into my cerebral cortex that I really REALLY didn't want to have.

Hmm. The first link definitely works, but is to "how to build a camper van out of cardboard" and will not sear anyone's cerebral cortex. This is the disturbing link.

"Xander watched as Richard acted out his description, the fleeting touch of fingertips against his leg before the other man flattened his palm as he reached the highest point. Feeling Richard’s hand slide down around to the side of his buttocks Xander knew his face was flushed. His eyes flicked briefly to Richards slightly parted lips, licking his own self-consciously. He opened his mouth, but failed to form more than a choked sigh."

Gosh!

We only watch the celeb one on a Saturday, mainly for me to sit sighing and lusting over Xander. Major crush.

So happy that it's not just me who feels personally congratulated when Richard says 'And very well done if you got that one at home'. I even have to tell DH and DS that I got a 'Well done' from Richard and they are just

I own the literature rounds - my finest hour was getting all twelve or fourteen answers on a round on Shakespeare. Richard should have bloody well come round and shagged me for that

Richard has been a guest on quite a lot of other shows recently and on one of them (can't remember which one - either HIGNFY or Would I Lie to You) they talked about the Brokeback-style sexual tension between him and Xander. Is brilliant.

I love the way that they gently tease the contestants for the stuff they don't know as well. My favourite answer is still the 'Who was shot in Dallas by Lee Harvey Oswald?' - answer 'J.R.'

Sadly I am always too distracted by the humongous enormousness of Xander's ears to fully appreciate the bromantic banter. 'Tis a pity.

I was just going to say Aibu for mentioning the ears. But apart from that he's chuffing lovely.

I love Pointless but I have to record and FF at the beginning because I don't give a shite about where the contestants are from and what their hobbies are.

I also get irrationally angry when a contestant says 'no pressure then' or does wiping imaginary sweat from their brow when they get one right.

apart from that I love it.

And Richard is creative director for Endemol so is farking rich to boot
Last nights had us in stitches, when the guy had got 4 on presidents then his partner came up with a right duffer. His face was just Whaaaaat!!!! How do Zander and Richard not just go "sorry, are you kidding fucking thick?

I love Pointless and always say 'Hi' to Richard. Agree with upping the jackpot for more than one pointless answer. What exactly did Richard say on Tuesday's show about some footballer lobbing Seaman at the half way line? It sounded very rude, hilarious and certainly made Xander laugh?

YANBU - I saw that episode and I said the same thing!

You are right. Three pointless answers is excellent
