    Can't say I noticed the difference in the Broken Karaoke round :eek: - I really wasn't paying proper attention! But it's not a round i particularly like anyway.

    My definite favourite of all the rounds is Where ls Kazakhstan - I absolutely love that one and wish they'd run it every evening!

    Is anyone else driven mad by how Richard pronounces Stephen Mangan's surname??

    Or is that how he pronounces it himself?? :eek:

    It's up there with Ken Dockerty in the nails- on- blackboard stakes!

    I've heard him being called that by different English people. I think Stephen has strong Irish connections and used to come here on holidays a lot as a child. Mayo, I think.

    Another name they always mispronounce is Dara O'Briain's. It's always Daaaaawra.

    Anyway, my favourite rounds are Where is Kazakhstan?, I'm Terrible At Dating, and of course, Answer Smash.

    Have to say I'm not enjoying this week's shows half as much as usual..... the only one with a bit of spark about them is Josie who is absolutely lovely - the rest are just dull, and Rufus although I've enjoyed him in shows in the past is bordering on dislikeable (not sure if it's because of the post above, which was news to me).

    But of a dud week.

    I'd never heard of the guy before the story about the tweet tbh. Have seen him pop up on a few panel shows since and find that try as I might I cant disassociate him from it. Plus he has an extremely punchable face.

    Well, that was quite the little temper tantrum he threw this evening!!

    I've seen him in lots of things over the years, and have to say i always enjoyed him..... but i just want this week of HOG to be over now.

    Anyone else get the distinct impression that Scott Mills can't stand Rufus?

    As an aside, all I can EVER see when I see Scott Mills is that lobster from Under The Sea :D:D

    A funny, competitive, lively bunch this week.

    That's interesting. They are moving A Question of Sport to an hour earlier (7.30pm) to make way for it.

    Two rounds that illustrate the level of teaching and learning in the UK are I'm Terrible At Dating and Where Is Kazakhstan. The sheer ignorance of places that are household names is amazing and depressing.

    I always find it funny when the contestants are blown away by an answer, especially in answer smash. The Elon Musketeers answer tonight was really straightforward and they seemed to think it was really impressive!

    I tend to prefer it when there's at least the illusion of competition too, with Angela winning by so much each day I haven't enjoyed it this week as much as usual.

    The only interest now is will she be the first to get a "fifer" (yes) and by what margin.

    I suspect she's been rather lucky in her opponents! And they are somewhat not bothered by now probably.

    Yeah, watching tonight's show now, and I'm rapidly losing interest - it's just a whitewash.


    And none of them are particularly interesting characters.


    Roll on next week!

    This is the line up for next week, from the show's Wikipedia page:

    Week 7 (23–27 November 2020): Rhys James, Denise Lewis, David James and Isy Suttie

    I watch with my niece and she really fancies Rhys James, so is very excited :pac:

    I hear talk of a House Band

    I would like to be on record as the first person to say I prefer the original classic BBC2 full sugar version of House Of Games.

    I wonder if anyone else has presented three quiz shows on BBC1 and BBC2 on the same evening before now?

    I quite liked the live band playing little bits of songs. It reminded me of Name That Tune with Tom O'Connor.

    Now where did I leave my Werthers Originals ? :)

    Well, that was all a bit..... odd.


    The trailer on Twitter showed them all japing around the place looking like they were in Taskmaster.



    Apart from the band, that was just another episode of HoG - or am I missing something? :confused:


    (Thankfully looking like it'll be a bit more entertaining than this week's series, mind you!)

    The spelling rounds are getting laughably easy these days - have they run out of properly difficult words or something??

    Mind you, David James still managed to get pancreas wrong - like htf???

    But how lovely to hear Denise Lewis pronouncing her H's properly! :D

    For anyone that the time doesnt suit when this is on or doesnt series link it , theres a youtube account called Mundo that has the episodes every day about an hour after they air. They have pointless too.

    Still my favourite round of the whole show!

    And at least they all knew the Sphinx was in Egypt, the last lot couldn't put the Golden Gate in California which was a far bigger clanger in my book!

    I laughed so hard at Isy saying she knew where it was, and was bracing myself for her to go to Morocco or Algeria or another north African country...and then she went pretty much as far south as she could :pac:

    Someone this week has a VERY irritating laugh. I'm only 2 round in and it's annoying me intensely already.

    Had to Google 3 of the 4 of them, hope Anton does well!!

    I really hope they do Where is Kazakhstan, featuring N America :D

    Last week's series actually turned out alright in the end!

    This week I'm taking a serious dislike to Jessica, whoever she is. She was really mean to Karim yesterday, and just has a sharp, sarky way about her.... not in the spirit of HoG at all!!

    Love Judge Rinder!!! Although I think he's over-egging the fuddy-duddy pudding just a bit!
