    Further to this another question in this category also appears to not have the correct answer listed.

    I'll make a decision on this category a bit later I may just issue a new batch of questions entirely that players can answer or roll the dice with their current submissions.

    Apologies to all concerned.

    Category was, admittedly slightly rushed as an aunt of mine passed away last night so wanted to get this phase started at least before I disappear for a few days for funeral etc.

    I'm putting in a formal complaint.🤣

    Reality stars are not celebrities.

    Also, who are all those people in qst.8?

    I am fairly certain of 4 answers but I skimmed over the rest thinking surely someone else on the team will know them 😂 Glad I kept reading the thread to see I have to submit my own set of answers. Hopefully the few you know are different to the few I know! I will submit my answers later on when I've had a chance to think!

    Answers in!!!

    I wonder if the twist has anything to do with the "teams". Are we playing against each other or something? 🤔

    Maybe the highest scoring captain can save their liabilities 😋



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,701 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    Just to manage expectations...

    I am not up to date on celebrity gossip. At. All.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,873 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    No pressure Ecto, just my life in your hands 🤣



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 57,429 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Well yes you are, and it is team related... But not quite

    I like that sort of thinking though 😜



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,920 ✭✭✭appledrop


    @Necro I'm sorry for your loss, hope your all doing ok.

    I might have a bash at some of those questions just for the fun!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,275 ✭✭✭extra-ordinary_


    wtf is a "viral blind item " and…

    …can we pick General Knowledge as well?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,432 ✭✭✭✭rainbowtrout


    Or like in Squid Game, the whole team dies.

    So if all your team don't make it through you are all out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,920 ✭✭✭appledrop


    Looking at those General Knowkedge questions, the auld Leaving Cert chemistry comes in handy even after all these years😂

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,920 ✭✭✭appledrop


    I think my best round will be general knowledge.

    Funny I would have said celebrities before I seen questions but I wouldnt know much about the more 'modern' Instagram celebs!

    No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change this World



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,645 ✭✭✭wrestlemaniac


    I know 3 and 2 more are educated guesses. It's not looking good.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,804 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    Necro I'm so sorry for your loss. My own aunt passed away just over a week ago so I completely understand how hectic the days after it can be. Family comes first so take your time coming back, there's no rush on this.

    I'll wait for your decision on what to do with the category before I submit any answers.

    D. 9/8

    So this affects @lorcand1990, @Mollyb60 @Nothing surprises me now @rainbowtrout and @StrawbsM

    I am also going to add @cee_jay into this category - I omitted her answers initially but after running them through the sheepulator it appears she would have qualifed (interestingly enough being the only person not to either be eliminated by a red sheep OR qualify automatically with a green sheep but having sheeped on one question), and the laws of rand - ie the wheel of faith have placed her in this group, so if she still wants to continue playing, then she can answer the question set above.

    Those already eliminated and playing along are free to answer these questions as well if they like.

    For those who have submitted answers already, you can roll the dice and stick with your original submissions with questions 2 and 3 omitted OR answer the new set of questions. If you've already passed, then that result will stand regardless however if you failed initially… well…

    Again apologies for the errors in this category. I've had a mare here.

    Yeah you can answer all the categories if you want, but your score in your own assigned category will determine if you qualify or not.

    Pop & Rock Music and my debacle there aside, waiting on answers from your good self, @Gru and @Sephiroth_dude also. No panic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,471 ✭✭✭lorcand1990


    Submitted there.. Looking forward to the twist as it's my only hope!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,128 ✭✭✭Nothing surprises me now


    ....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,195 ✭✭✭Gru


    Submitted now, apologies for the delay!
