Same here. The last one with U.S states that end in a vowel - knew Delaware would be a good answer. Checked the site and it got 2

I quite enjoy the difference of the Aussie version. The chemistry between Mark and Andrew has developed quickly and they are now quite fun (and funny) to watch.
Sure it's not the same quality of quiz show that the UK version is, but I don't think it was ever going to be. It seems that Australia doesn't seem to have the attention span or the desire to watch "serious" quiz shows that don't have a gimmick of some sort, any more - The Chase is probably the closest thing to one, but with their emphasis on the "story" of the contestants and AOK's hosting of the show, that deviates from the UK version a fair bit too
The banter isn't too bad, particularly when compared with My Kitchen Chase Australia.I don’t mind it it but I wish they’d **** off some of the banter for the extra round that they’ve trimmed from the uk version.

I'm anally retentive enough to edit The Chase Australia down to just the quizzing, in order to make it watchable. I cut all of the banter & AOK's monologues (he really does love the sound of his own voice). A 40 minute show is regularly reduced to 28 minutes, sometimes less if the contestants are really incompetent. Pointless is much, much, tighter.
I think the British version of The Chase has harder questions, even allowing for the number of "local topic" questions. AOK is not fit to tie Bradley Manning's shoelaces when it comes to the hosting duties.Yeah the British Chase is so much better. AOK is painful. I find I get a lot more answers correct on the Aussie one. Partially because of local topics and partly because they are easier.
I wish it had never been bought to my attention about AOK having his hands around like he is either a conductor of an orchestra, or the front man on a Mardi Gras float, because now it is even more distracting that his fake laugh, facial expressions and or inane banter. I can tune into and ensure the last 10 minutes of The Chase, but the rest is pretty unwatchable.The banter isn't too bad, particularly when compared with My Kitchen Chase Australia.

In the first round yesterday, the question was to name the cocktail from the list on the board that had all the vowels removed.
Apparently S_D_C_R was "Seducer", a cocktail I've never heard of, and it scored 2 points. I wonder what would have happened if someone had answered "Sidecar"? Did they have multiple correct answers?
The show has 3 ad breaks and 20 minutes of content, exactly the same as every other 30 minute show on commercial tv.Too many ad breaks in pointless is my only issue
round 2 they do one question add break then if the same team gets both right it's another one question and more ads

The structure of the show is that there are really only 4 or 5 questions in the 30 minutes. One question in the first round (answered separately by both teammates), 2 or 3 in the "head to head" round, and one in the final round.Yes I understand how commercial TV works, even family feud didn't feel like there was barely any content between the ads though.
It's mostly because there isn't a lot of question answering going on you get 2 answers and scores then another ad break, other shows just feel like they have more content
That's the ideal solution, as far as structuring the show is concerned.I'd prefer if they had a longer ad break between the rounds but cut out the ad break in the middle of Round 2. That's the one that annoys me.
Not sure.I have to admit, Ive quited enjoyed ch10's version of this show.
Anyone know when the new episodes will be showing, instead of the repeats?
The online TV guides have tonight's episode marked as a new episode. More accurately, it's not marked as a repeat.Someone mentioned to me that they saw an ad on ch10 saying new episodes commencing tonight, so presumably that is correct.
Re Celebrity starting early - I think we can see CBS influence on ch10, with this show commencing earlier than previous years. They probably had to really, though, given that 10 no longer have Big Bash cricket, so they really have nothing to attract viewers during the summer months, unlike 7 and 9 who have the cricket & tennis.
OzTam records ratings every day of the year. However, the "official" ratings period is what they use to set advertising fees etc.The official ratings period seems so antiquated.
Yeah, just doesn't seem to take into account how much viewing has changed.OzTam records ratings every day of the year. However, the "official" ratings period is what they use to set advertising fees etc.
You'd be surprised. It also includes figures for streaming and catch-up sites, plus people watching shows on delay, and people watching on non-traditional screens (e.g. tablets & phones). It's not just people sitting in front of their TVs, watching shows at the time of broadcast.Yeah, just doesn't seem to take into account how much viewing has changed.
