    So finally this scam reaches Irish television i suppose it was only a matter of time. Every day on channel 6 from 12-3pm they do this quiz where people ring into to register it cost 1euro 50cents a minute and the chances of u getting a call back are slim and then u guess the 5,6,7 letter word to win at most 90 euro then u get a chance to pick a number between 1 and 20 to win the jackpot of somewhere around 1000- 2000 euro.
    What a bloody rip off!!!!!

    I bet Paul666 has just been kept on hold for 20 minutes.

    There's no way to win more than you've spent on Quiz6. How can a puzzle with such an easy answer last for so long if the game is fair???

    Okay. Look at these three lines and find the word:

    W O N
    R E D
    F U L

    Now imagine it's been there for 2 hours and no one can get it right. That's how fair games like Quiz6 are.

    There was a great piece in the Indo at the weekend in the Review magazine, where they reviewed Quiz 6. He said that they fill the gap between callers with "verbal diarrohea". Quality!

    Yes, I love the way when they applied for the licence they were gonna have music during the day, a month or two in they switch to this.. i didnt know they could do this kinda show in Ireland!
    I kinda like it though, it may not be entertaining but its like the only quiz on tv where i can watch it.. and not feel like a dumbass!!

    There was a very funny review of it in the Indo on Saturday. Complete retard tv tbh. Dont watch it and therefore it wont have ratings, hence less (hopefully none) revenue.

    So this scam reaches Irish television, yeah? TBH, I should've done it last year, but I didn't think anyone would be dumb enough to call. Every day on Channel 6 from 12-3pm they do this quiz where retards ring into to register it cost 1euro 50cents a minute and the chances of u getting a call back are slim to f*ck all.

    And the funnist thing is people write on boards.ie to complain about it. You'd swear they had a gun to their head: Make the call, or the bunny gets it:p:D

    It is only a rip off to those stupid enough to call.
