Would you watch Winning Streak if someone from your county was on it?

May be trying to prove a point here........ahem

well would you???? I know my granny would be ringing my mother saying that someone from you know where, who's a cousin of that young lad on the gaelic team is on winning streak tonight and in the end I'd if I was in either house I'd be watchin it............well, would you?

My Gran always watches if a Cork person is on it, even if they're from a completely different part of Cork to where we are.
She also watches out for Kerry people, as my Grandad was from Kerry.

Bit daft, but she likes it!

I wouldn't watch winning streak. Ever. I can't think of a more horrible show on TV.

Smartly Dressed · 09-07-2008 10:30PM

I wouldn't watch Winning Streak full stop. Of course, I wouldn't mind being on it.

cance · 09-07-2008 10:31PM

I'd rather pull off my fingernails than watch winning streak.

fatal · 09-07-2008 10:32PM

eh no

Joe Cool · 09-07-2008 10:32PM

Nope.

Zaph · 09-07-2008 10:33PM

I wouldn't watch it if a member of my immediate family was on it, never mind some randomer who just happens to live in the same county as me.

Cool_CM · 09-07-2008 10:34PM

Somebody I knew, yes. Somebody from my county, no.

Keano · 09-07-2008 10:39PM

Even with someone I knew I would find it hard to sit and watch it.

Kimbot · 09-07-2008 10:40PM

Unless its someone I know then I don't bother watching it.

My Grandad was on it last year, won around 80,000 and I was delighted for him as he was going through hard times.

R0ot · 09-07-2008 10:42PM

Used to watch it every time it was on when I was younger, for some reason it was a family event kind of thing. Now I tried watching it a few weeks ago, but was more enticed by Red Dwarf.

January · 09-07-2008 10:44PM

If someone I knew was on it then I'd watch it.

A neighbour of ours was on it three feckin times!

Now that's just unlucky...

People only watch so that they can begrudge the sh1t out of a winner if they spot 'em in the street.

I presume too that you would not want a single cent from the family member, seeing as you have no interest in it.:rolleyes:

DonkeyStyle \o/ · 09-07-2008 11:48PM

Winning streak is such a dull show... there's no viewer participation like Countdown, Who Wants to be a Millionare or the weakest link... there's not even any tension like deal or no deal.
They need to make it more like Gladiators I think... some oul biddy scrambling up a climbing wall, only to get decked by some bodybuilder... now that I'd watch.

Tar.Aldarion · 09-07-2008 11:49PM

I didn't even watch it when my husband was on it, so no.

It would be entirely up to them what they want to do with their winnings. I would have no expectations either way.

mollydolly271 · 09-07-2008 11:55PM

I wud watch if it was someone i knew but other than that no

Deal or No Deal

javaboy · 10-07-2008 12:16AM

I was buying something out of the buy and sell from a man in Kilkenny a few years ago. After saying hello and showing me said something so I could look it over, he proceeded to go into the sitting room and watch Winning Streak.

"D'ye watch the oul spin da whale at all?" <- actual quote I shit you not.

He practically ignored me while I was trying to hand over 750 of my hard earned to him.

I used to really hate Noel Edmonds. Now I admire him for making so much money off such a stupidly simple and pointless idea. A bit like the way I admire the crazy frog guy.

P.S. I still hate both of them.

Dyr · 10-07-2008 12:27AM

Whats winning streak? is it some sort of regional television deal?

Quality!

:D rollin on the damn floor!
I remember when Mike Murphy useda do it, and when theyd spin the wheel he say "now remember folks we have to count down from 5 to 1 when the ball comes to a rest, very important blah blah etc etc"......then hed go "FIVE!....FOUR!.....well done!"

I think he was in a rush to hit the town

Pride Fighter · 10-07-2008 12:41AM

That presenter does my head in, he is a bloody tosser. The programme was less sh1t with Mike Murphy anyway.

Is it still Mooney hosting it? I thought it had changed hands again.

The one good thing about Mooney was that he ripped the piss out of the contestants and they didn't even cop it half the time.

Ruu_Old · 10-07-2008 12:49AM

Used to be..."Give it a good aul whoosh now!"

Now its..."OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH NOOOOOOOOOOO!" *stabs Mooney in the eyes*

I saw my neighbour on it once.

Would you watch Winning Streak if someone from your county was on it?
