Child genius on tonight

[Emochild]

Change of quiz master this year

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

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

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

He will be though

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

Mog?!

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

*saying not saying goes, tablet keeps inserting random words

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

Yes, and he seems like a nice kid

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

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

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.

Feeling sorry for max

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

I remember Curtis!

Isn't tonight the first episode?

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

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.

Christopher's Dad seems like a nightmare

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

Christopher is more well balanced than his dad

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

Mog is short for Morgan they called him Morgan before.

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

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

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