To never trust Richard Osman again

I'm currently watching Pointless while the baby sleeps.

There was a question about identifying films with vs in the title.
One of the options was F E vs J N. The team won the point by saying Freddie vs Jason.

It's not Freddie vs Jason though, is it? It's Freddy vs Jason.

I love Richard Osman. How could he let this happen?

Hooray for Xander! I've been on tenterhooks.

I just couldn't watch Pointless yesterday. I tried, but it was too much. Maybe today I'll feel better!

Washing, DH crushed my spirit by stating that the coveted trophy was plastic. I had hoped it would be glass (well, wouldn't it be if it was coveted..?)

Tell me it's not true Sad

RO always comes across as a smug twat to me, so those stories totally back up my impression of him. Who the hell says 'Don't you know who I am' anyway?! Unless the answer is 'The person who arrived at the bar first', then gertcha!

I went to a recording once. We were told not to cheer when they announced the coveted Pointless trophy, because apparently people were taking the piss with the way they cheered Confused

I think I read somewhere that his laptop is only a prop as well.

MelvinThePenguin · 19/10/2017 16:06

TieGrr, I've read that too. I think he's handed the answers on paper at the beginning of the show.

Ceto. I thought reference to the coveted trophy was a piss take in itself?

I feel like I've somehow been watching Pointless completely the wrong way all these years.

Apparently I am wrong about the trophy.

Ebay

Why would you want to own a trophy you hadn't earned? Unless you were going to pretend you had...Confused
