Off Topic Quiz Show..

That is totally ******ed. It makes the show name a joke.

'Hard quiz' ... if you're a bit **** at quizzes.

Exactly my thoughts. They also thought my topic too obscure so wanted to mould it to just the PL overall, or US Presidents when I mentioned I was ok with those. Then with other people they said their topics were too broad. Seems a bit stupid, either get people on the show who are experts in something specific (and I'd say Hull City is still understandable for a wide audience "Oh they play in the Premier League? This should be a fun topic." versus something like anatomy of the human heart or some ****), or get people on with broad, bland topics like "Harry Potter" "Star Wars" "ABBA" etc.
 
Yeah trying to think whether they'll try and make the questions related to "bigger" teams to make it more relatable for the audience (e.g. Which PL player has scored the most goals against us [Rooney]; Which PL team defeated us on the final day of 09 despite us staying up [United] etc.) or whether they'll go deep into City to make me out to be a nerd (which I'm fine with haha).

I actually had a look the other day, we have 3 wins against Sunderland 3 wins against Swansea so I think those are the two we have the best record against. Of current PL clubs I think United, Chelsea and Southampton are the only three we don't have a win against

Its like not getting a job because you were too good at the interview!!!
That actually happened to me. After the interview they said I'd answered too well and it was as if I'd practised for it! They weren't impressed that I answered everything correctly straightaway. They said it was like I didn't have to think about the answers. I decided then that I was too good for them. I think it's the same with Syd.

Yeah I suspect having someone on a quiz show who keeps buzzing in first - and admittedly I did do it a few times and get it wrong, although I wasn't doing it for the sake of it - isn't what they're after.

Why are you too good for Syd?

If you've ever seen the show being argumentative would be a positive. The host loves to give it to the contestants and likes it when they argue back.

"So I hear you're actually the President of the Hull City Australia Supporters Group"

"Yep that's right"

"So what, you and your mate watch the games together on a Saturday night and that's the Group?"

"Yeah that's right Tom, he's tuning in right now so I've already doubled your viewers"

Too good for you too if you didn't understand it. Ok it was slightly ambiguous. Well done for spotting it. I'm not looking for a long winded semantic or syntactical argument. It's a day off from that kind of thing today.
