00:09Hey everybody, how lovely to have you back for a brand new week on House of Games.
00:13I'm joined by four famous faces, a lovely line-up this week.
00:17The trophy remains awful.
00:19Shall we meet our players?
00:20They are Griff Rhys-Jones.
00:22Hello.
00:23Tasha Dorey.
00:25Alexandra Mardell.
00:27And John Kay.
00:28Hey. Hey everyone.
00:30Hi.
00:31You're all looking at me like lambs to the slaughter.
00:33I promise it'll be okay.
00:35Griff, lovely to have you here.
00:36Are you a quizzer?
00:37Well, I'm a quiz watcher.
00:39Yes.
00:39But I have a darling wife who's really expert.
00:42And I hoped I could get her here today to cough at various important things.
00:46But, you know, she couldn't come.
00:48So you wouldn't do it? What's your wife's name?
00:49Joe.
00:50Joe.
00:51Good luck.
00:52Tasha, we know you can dance.
00:54Can you answer questions?
00:55We're about to find out.
00:56We are literally about to find out how it's going to go.
00:59That is the perfect answer.
01:00You do not need to tell me anything.
01:02We shall just sit back and watch.
01:04Yes, we've got this.
01:05Exactly.
01:05Alexander, I've mentioned the terrible trophy already.
01:08I have yet to mention the terrible prizes though.
01:10Oh yeah.
01:10Would you like to take a look at today's prizes?
01:12Yes, please.
01:12Okay, here we go.
01:13Whoever wins today can take home one of these.
01:15We have the House of Games hoodie, the House of Games chopping board, the House of Games fondue set, the
01:20House of Games cafetiere and the House of Games sports bag.
01:24Any of those you fancy?
01:25That's a good collection.
01:27It's not bad.
01:27I mean, the chopping board, but the Cafetiere as well.
01:31I've not seen that one before.
01:33Yeah.
01:33I want them all.
01:34You want them all.
01:35Okay.
01:35Tasha, what would you go for?
01:37A very heavily match, isn't it?
01:39Yeah, yeah.
01:39If I go home, I'm always going to be remembering thinking about you, you know, and seeing House of Games
01:44everywhere.
01:44I promise you can just stick them in the attic or take them down to your local charity store.
01:49I'll sell them on eBay.
01:49Perfect, perfect.
01:51That's a ring.
01:51I think it's the Cafetiere.
01:53The Cafetiere.
01:54Because people, you know, you have a dinner party, you bring it out at the end, people say, what an
01:58interesting Cafetiere, and you say, well, of course.
02:01Yeah, I should have bought the other.
02:02What a mistake to bring this out.
02:04I want a House of Games.
02:06That is very embarrassing, but anyway, this coffee.
02:10Now, John, John, you are a native of Salford.
02:14You do BBC Breakfast just down the road.
02:17A number of your colleagues have been on before.
02:19How do you think you're going to do?
02:21Oh, I don't know, but I think it's a rite of passage for BBC Breakfast presenters.
02:24But we need one of those cafetiers on our coffee table.
02:27We've got the breakfast mugs.
02:29I think a bit of coffee.
02:30Perfect.
02:30I would love that.
02:31Ostentatiously pour the coffee on BBC One in One.
02:33Yeah.
02:33Shall we get on and play House of Games?
02:35Every time I press this buzzer, a new round comes up.
02:37We never know what it's going to be.
02:38Our first round on today's show is...
02:45Rhyme time.
02:46Rhyme time.
02:47Fingers on buzzers, please, everybody.
02:48I'll ask you two questions at a time.
02:50The answers rhyme with each other.
02:52Here are your first two.
02:56Spanish waiter, played by Andrew Sachs in Fawlty Towers.
03:00And word that represents H in the NATO phonetic alphabet.
03:07Yes, that is Alexandra.
03:09Manuel Hotel.
03:10Manuel Hotel.
03:11That's absolutely right.
03:14I'm going to go on record as saying I don't think those two things rhyme with each other.
03:18Don't you think Manuel and Hotel?
03:20Not really.
03:20Inel.
03:21No.
03:21Motel.
03:22I was thinking, what are they going to rhyme with Manuel?
03:25Spaniel?
03:26But you know what?
03:27They ended up not rhyming anything with Manuel.
03:29But that's okay.
03:30So you don't get a point, right?
03:31No.
03:31I don't count.
03:32Here are your next two.
03:35What is this?
03:37And a 2007 heist comedy sequel starring George Clooney.
03:43Yes, John.
03:46Trampoline Ocean's 13?
03:47Must be, mustn't it?
03:50It is.
03:51Well done.
03:51Trampoline and Ocean's 13.
03:53I was thinking it must be an Ocean's...
03:55I didn't remember there being an Ocean's 13,
03:56but I thought it was the only number I can think of that rhymes with trampoline.
03:59I thought it might be Manuel, but...
04:02Here are your next two.
04:05Reformed supervillain, who is the protagonist of the Despicable Me franchise.
04:10And boy band with members including Duncan James and Anthony Costa.
04:17Yes, Alexandra.
04:18Is it Gru Blue?
04:20Gru and Blue?
04:21That's exactly what it is.
04:22Nicely done.
04:24Here are your next two.
04:26What is this?
04:27And what is this?
04:31Yes, Griff.
04:32Newt flute.
04:33Newton flute.
04:34It is.
04:35Well done.
04:35Newton flute.
04:37I'm trying to think what rhymes with oboe there.
04:39Next two.
04:41Annual rugby tournament played by England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy.
04:47And debut UK number one single for the Beach Boys.
04:53Yes, John.
04:54Six Nations, Good Vibrations.
04:56Oh, very nice.
04:57Six Nations, Good Vibrations.
04:59It is.
04:59Well played.
05:01Next two.
05:03Who is this?
05:04And what is this?
05:07Yes, Alexandra.
05:09Self-esteem, Custard Cream.
05:11Self-esteem, Custard Cream?
05:13Exactly what it is.
05:14Well played.
05:15Former House of Games champion, self-esteem, not Custard Cream.
05:19Final question in this round.
05:23Citrus fruit used in margaritas and mojitos.
05:26Book written by Stephen Hawking.
05:28A brief history of...
05:32Griff.
05:33Well, it's lime and time.
05:35Yes, it is lime and time.
05:36Well done.
05:37I like you starting off with well-its.
05:39As if everyone's gone, we cannot figure this out.
05:43The truth is, the other ones I couldn't figure out.
05:46So, this was a real relief for me.
05:49It is lime and time.
05:51Griff, well played.
05:51Our first round is done.
05:53Let's take a look at our leaderboard for the first time.
05:56Tasha, yet to get off the mark.
05:57That's absolutely fine.
05:59Griff and John, you have two points each.
06:01We have an early leader and it is Alexandra on three points.
06:05Very nicely done.
06:07Our next round today is...
06:13Distinctly Average.
06:15This is a pairs game.
06:16Tasha, who would you like to play this round with?
06:18Ooh.
06:19Choose a partner.
06:20I'll go for Alexandra.
06:21You're going to play with Alexandra.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Alexandra and Griff, if you will swap seats, please.
06:25Of course.
06:25Let's swap.
06:27Girl power.
06:27Yeah, girl power.
06:29Alexandra, welcome.
06:30This is a good look as well for the two of you.
06:32Nice and close now.
06:33Yeah, like monochromatic.
06:35Tablets out, please, everybody.
06:36Tablets.
06:37I'm going to ask you some questions.
06:38I need you to write me down a number as your answer, okay?
06:41And I'm going to take the average of each pair as their answer.
06:45Whoever is closest to the real answer scores a point.
06:47So write me down an answer for this.
06:51What was the population of Greater London in 1801, as recorded in the first official census?
06:58What was the population of London in 1801?
07:02I mean, what do we think?
07:06What would you go with at home on this one?
07:101801 census.
07:12Alexandra, did you have any sort of maths here or is this a blind guess?
07:16I had no idea at all.
07:18I just thought maybe they didn't record it properly.
07:21I don't know.
07:22I don't know.
07:23I went quite low.
07:24That's a real burn to the census, people of 1801.
07:28You went with...
07:29Guy count.
07:3010,000.
07:3110,000.
07:32Very low.
07:3310,000.
07:34Tasha, have you gone higher than that?
07:36I've gone for one million.
07:38Yeah, one million.
07:39I thought that'd be quite a safe option, you know, London now is in millions.
07:45Seven or eight million now or something.
07:46Yeah, except, like, it's still in there, I think.
07:48Alexandra, listen, you're in the lead, so I can say this to you safely.
07:51I think that is a better answer than your answer.
07:54Yeah.
07:55That's what I think.
07:56But your average...
07:56Maybe the average.
07:57Your average might be great.
07:58Your average is 505,000.
08:01OK.
08:01OK, about half a million.
08:02Griff, what are we saying?
08:04I thought, well, obscurely, I thought 1.1 million.
08:071.1 million.
08:08Just to go up a tiny bit more, but probably a million should have rounded it.
08:12And, John, where are you?
08:13I went higher again.
08:14I went three million.
08:15Three million.
08:15Just thinking that people were more packed in together, but...
08:18Yeah, maybe.
08:19Yeah.
08:19Yeah.
08:20So your average is 2,050,000.
08:24So we've got half a million, we've got 2 million.
08:25What have you got at home?
08:26Who is scoring the first point of the round?
08:28The population was...
08:321,096,000.
08:34Alexandra and Tasha, you get the point.
08:36Oh, Griff.
08:37I'm sorry.
08:37I start with you.
08:38Sorry, sorry.
08:39Griff, you were like 3,000 off.
08:41I know.
08:42And you still don't get a point.
08:43I've got a map on the wall in London, you know.
08:46I've got it from time to time and try and work out when my house is going to join it,
08:50you know.
08:50Alexandra managed to get a point by saying 10,000.
08:53And you lost a point by 3,000 off.
08:55You needed me there.
08:57It's like having a good teammate, that's the key.
08:59Your next question is this.
09:01In miles...
09:02Oh, wow.
09:04Wow.
09:05In miles, what is the total length of all the roads in Britain?
09:09Motorways, A roads, B roads, any road you can drive on.
09:12Really?
09:13Does that include private roads?
09:15If it's open to the public, it counts.
09:17Okay.
09:18Yeah.
09:18All right.
09:26Everyone in?
09:27Griff, what are you thinking here?
09:29It's hopeless.
09:30Yeah, isn't it?
09:31I went for a sort of large-sounding number, 2.5 million.
09:35I mean, there's so many roads.
09:36It's like when they talk about the blood vessels in the human body and there's always some absurd amount.
09:40Is it?
09:40Yeah.
09:41And that's like roads in a country, isn't it?
09:432.5 million.
09:44And they sort of work, generally.
09:45Yeah.
09:46And John, where are you?
09:48Same ballpark.
09:49Oh, 2 million.
09:502 million.
09:502 million, says John.
09:52So, your average, 2.25 million miles of roads.
09:57Alexandra, what are you saying?
09:58I went for 1 million miles.
10:00Yeah, again, it's hard for me to know what to say because I would not have a clue.
10:05And Tasha, where are you?
10:06I've gone completely small compared to everybody else.
10:09Okay.
10:10350,000.
10:12350,000, says Tasha.
10:14Yeah, because even the longest road...
10:16I don't know.
10:16My maths is not math in, but go maths.
10:19Yeah, but it feels like there'd have to be a lot of roads to get up to 2 million.
10:23Yeah.
10:24Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
10:25So, your average is 675,000.
10:29I would not be able to call it at all.
10:31Shall we find out how many miles of roads are there in Britain?
10:38246,000.
10:39Wow!
10:40Tasha and Alexandra get the point again.
10:42I have to say, Alexandra, Tasha doing a lot of the heavy lifting again.
10:46My dad would be so proud of me right now.
10:48Well, 246,000.
10:50I guess that makes sense.
10:52No road is, like, massively long.
10:54Someone just said, according to the RAC, there are six potholes per mile of road in Britain.
10:59So, we have about 1.5 million potholes in Britain.
11:03Wow.
11:03I hope that's not the next question I've given it.
11:04No, it won't.
11:05One final question in this round.
11:07So far, Alexandra and Tasha have scored both points.
11:09Are they going to make it three out of three?
11:12How many people were named in the credits of the 2018 film Avengers Infinity War,
11:17which holds the world record for the film with the most credited individuals?
11:22How many people were credited in that movie?
11:35So, everyone is in.
11:37Tasha, what do you think on this?
11:38I've gone for 680.
11:41You know, obviously, it's a big film.
11:43We've got costume, choreographers, producers, but I thought, around there.
11:48Yeah, you've got all the CGI and all that stuff as well.
11:50Yeah, computers, everything.
11:52So, I don't think it's too big.
11:54So, 680, yeah.
11:55Alexandra, up or down?
11:56I went a lot higher.
11:592000.
11:592000?
12:00I was just thinking the war thing.
12:03Maybe there's huge battle scenes.
12:05I've not seen it.
12:06But maybe there's loads and loads of extras and stuff that might have been credited.
12:10Maybe they credited the extras.
12:11Yeah, maybe.
12:12Cocky, imagine.
12:14So, your average is 1,340.
12:20Griff, what are you saying?
12:21I got in the habit of leaving a film very quickly when we used to have to stand and sing
12:27the national anthem.
12:29Yeah.
12:29We do on this show.
12:30You know that, don't you?
12:31Oh, do we?
12:31Yeah, yeah.
12:33And so, I've gone quite low, actually.
12:37472.
12:38472.
12:38I bet when you were writing it, you didn't think it was low.
12:40It's just when you see other people's answers.
12:42Exactly.
12:42You're like, yeah.
12:43Yeah.
12:43I was quite high and I put it in the bin.
12:45OK.
12:46And John, are you going up from there?
12:48I went for 1,000.
12:491,000, says John.
12:50So, your average is 736.
12:54Sort of half of Alexandra and Tasha's answer.
12:56What do you reckon on this?
12:58You do sometimes when you see those things, they go on forever.
13:01Yeah.
13:01And a lot of the Marvel movies, they have those little kind of post-credit scenes and all sorts of
13:05things.
13:06Let's find out, shall we?
13:07How many people are credited?
13:08Who scored the final point of the round?
13:135,109.
13:14Wow.
13:16Alexandra and Tasha, you got all three points in this round.
13:18Well done.
13:21Wow, 5,109.
13:23There were over 2,000 in the VFX team alone.
13:27Tablets away, please, everybody.
13:29Alexandra and Griff, if you will swap back, please.
13:32Welcome back, Griff.
13:34Hello again.
13:35He's not going to be coming back over here.
13:36It's like the awkward little one.
13:38Yeah.
13:38I mean, that went badly.
13:39That was terrible.
13:40Yeah.
13:41There it is.
13:42We never expected that.
13:44Dear.
13:45Our leaderboard after two rounds looks like this.
13:48Griff and John, you have two points each.
13:50Tasha has got three.
13:52Alexandra, six points.
13:53Lovely.
13:54Lovely little three-point lead.
13:56Three rounds to go on Monday's House of Games.
13:58Our next round is...
14:02There's a cat on my keyboard.
14:05Now, our question writers have written down a series of things that are linked together.
14:09You just have to buzz in and tell me what links these clues.
14:13Unfortunately, some of our question writers live with cats, and the cats ruin the clues.
14:18And that's what's happened in this case.
14:20The specific cat today is Mavis.
14:23Oh.
14:24Mavis, who belongs to Ellie, one of our team.
14:27Mavis, come on, man.
14:28So Ellie's trying to put together some clues.
14:30Mavis has ruined it.
14:32So we'll show you the clues.
14:33Well, then we'll edit them so you can see what they mean.
14:36But fingers on buzzers.
14:38What connects these three clues?
14:40All ruined by naughty Mavis.
14:53Yes, John.
14:54Game shows. TV game shows.
14:56Oh, that's quick. Is it game shows?
14:59Countdown, blockbusters and mastermind. It is game shows.
15:02John, well done.
15:03What's your next connection?
15:16What connects these?
15:19Yes, John.
15:20Headgear.
15:21Headgear.
15:22I love the fact we wait for all of them to be completely resolved.
15:24I think.
15:26We might as well just have shown that.
15:28Is it all headgear?
15:30It is.
15:30Of course it is.
15:31Of course.
15:32I mean, listen, a lot of the jeopardy was gone there, wasn't it?
15:34Well played, John.
15:36What connects these?
15:42There's three clues hidden away in these letters.
15:50Yes, Griff?
15:51American States.
15:51American States.
15:52Just winning a buzzer race there.
15:54It is Alaska, California and Hawaii.
15:57We have three more ruined clues.
16:00Thanks, Mavis.
16:05What's hidden away here?
16:13Yes, that's John.
16:15Birds?
16:16They are not birds, I'm afraid.
16:20Yes, Tasha.
16:22Saucers?
16:23Saucers?
16:24They are not saucers either.
16:27Yes, Alexandra.
16:29Seeds?
16:30Seeds?
16:31Listen, one of them is a bird, one of them is a saucer and one of them is a seed.
16:35But all three of them are something else.
16:37Come on, Griff.
16:39They are colours of yellow.
16:40Shades of yellow is what they all are.
16:42Mustard yellow, lemon yellow and canary.
16:45Well, for a great Griff, they are all shades of yellow.
16:47And once again, we wait for all three clues to be completely deciphered.
16:51Next three clues ruined by Mavis.
16:57What connects these?
17:05What connects these?
17:07Yes, Griff.
17:08They're herbs.
17:09They are herbs.
17:10Every time you're beating Tasha to the buzzer by like 0.01 seconds.
17:13Literally.
17:14Tarragon, sage and coriander, all herbs.
17:17Next three.
17:21What connects these?
17:32Yes, Alexandra.
17:35Greek islands.
17:36Greek islands?
17:38They are Greek islands, absolutely.
17:40Mykonos, Crute and Cephalonia, all Greek islands.
17:43Final question in Mavis's round.
17:46What has she ruined here?
17:56Have we got this at home yet?
18:00Yes, that's John.
18:01Types of bread.
18:02Types of bread.
18:02Baked goods.
18:03Absolutely.
18:04Brioche, chapati and pumpernickel types are bread.
18:07It's the end of that round.
18:08Thank you so much to Mavis for spoiling it for us.
18:11And our leaderboard with two rounds to go looks like this.
18:14Tasha has got three.
18:16John and Griff have five points each.
18:18Alexandra stood out in the lead with seven.
18:23Two rounds to hold on to that lead now, Alexandra, as well.
18:27I know, it's a horrible place to be.
18:30Can only go down.
18:31Our next round is...
18:36Where is Kazakhstan?
18:38If you could take your tablets out, please.
18:40I am going to show you a map.
18:43Here is today's map.
18:44A map of Africa.
18:46A map of Africa.
18:47And I need you to find a number of things on this map.
18:50Whoever is closest will get a point.
18:52The first thing I'd like you to find...
18:56The archaeological site known as the Valley of the Kings.
19:00Where is the Valley of the Kings?
19:03Have you been to the Valley of the Kings?
19:04Anyone at home?
19:05Do you know where that is?
19:11Oh, dear.
19:13OK, everyone is in.
19:14What do we think at home?
19:16Griff, do you know where the Valley of the Kings is?
19:18It's in Egypt.
19:19Egypt.
19:20I think.
19:21So, close to the Nile.
19:23And not far from Sudan.
19:25OK.
19:25We should have gone to Griff last, probably.
19:29Tasha, did you have any clue on this one?
19:31No clue.
19:32This is like a wild guess.
19:33Perfect.
19:34Where did you go?
19:36In Guinea.
19:37You are there on the west coast.
19:39Alexandra, how about you?
19:40So, I guessed Egypt.
19:42But no idea where.
19:43So, I just blobbed it somewhere up there.
19:46Well, that's good.
19:47Because it really sounds like Griff knew what he was talking about.
19:49Yeah.
19:49So, if it is Egypt, you're also in Egypt.
19:52Yeah.
19:52And John, what was your thinking?
19:54Also Egypt, but a bit further north.
19:57Well, several thousand miles.
19:59Yes.
20:00But in terms of TV, just a bit further north.
20:03It is in Egypt.
20:04Tasha, you may not be getting the point here.
20:06That's OK.
20:07But who is getting the point?
20:08Let's find out who is closest to the Valley of the Kings.
20:12Griff.
20:13That seems fair.
20:14Well done.
20:14Because you actually knew it.
20:15Griff gets the first point of the round.
20:16Well done.
20:17It is the Valley of the Kings.
20:19Burial site of many of the pharaohs.
20:21Next question.
20:24The capital of the most populous country in Africa.
20:29What is the most populous country in Africa, I wonder?
20:33You've done lots and lots of travel shows, Griff.
20:35Have you done African travel shows?
20:36I have.
20:37Have you?
20:38But I don't think we went to the most populous country.
20:40OK.
20:41But who can tell?
20:51Tasha, any clue on this one?
20:54No.
20:55Perfect.
20:55I'll be honest, I was the best at geography.
20:57OK, that's fine.
20:58When it comes to maps, I don't really, you know, translate that well with it.
21:02But I feel like I've done a good guess.
21:04OK, that's good.
21:05That's all we can ask for.
21:06That's all we can ask for.
21:09You're sort of Angola.
21:11Alexandra, where have you gone?
21:12I went South Africa.
21:14And I have no idea where I've popped it.
21:19There's a clue in the name, isn't there?
21:20Yeah.
21:21South Africa.
21:22You are in South Africa, which is good.
21:24So we're Angola and South Africa so far.
21:25John, what was your thinking here?
21:27I was thinking, choose somewhere in the middle of an area which is quite heavily populated
21:33and hope that it's near a city.
21:35Yes, that's clever.
21:36So, well, let's see, shall we?
21:39You're sort of edge of Senegal, Mali type area there.
21:43And Griff?
21:44Well, I was interested in West Africa, like Nigeria or somewhere like that.
21:48But they seem such small countries to have the most populous thing.
21:52And funnily enough, I think we should probably be in Egypt again.
21:55And then I thought you couldn't possibly go to Egypt again.
21:57That would be really too cunning.
21:59I went for South Africa as well.
22:01A little bit further over, which I assume, Johannesburg.
22:05Yeah, you're sort of Lesotho-ish as well there.
22:08So we've got two people in South Africa.
22:10We've got one in Angola and we have one in Senegal.
22:15It is none of those countries.
22:16It is none of those countries.
22:18The second most populous country in Africa is Ethiopia,
22:22which has got about 130 million people.
22:24The most populous country in Africa has 237 million people.
22:29And it is...
22:32Nigeria.
22:33So, John, you get the point for being closest.
22:35Very well done.
22:36Nigeria.
22:37So that's Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
22:39Final question in this round.
22:42The stadium where the host country won the men's Africa Cup of Nations football final in 2024.
22:50So who won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2024?
22:58That's the stadium where the game was played.
23:06What would you go for at home on this one?
23:09Alexandra, any clue on this?
23:11I did a bit of a Tasha on this one and went rogue.
23:15You have to.
23:16Yeah.
23:16What other option do you have?
23:17Football over my head.
23:18So I don't even know.
23:20Let's see where you've gone.
23:21Random pop.
23:22That's the DRC, Democratic Republic of Congo.
23:25You're in there.
23:27John, you will have...
23:28This would have been on BBC Breakfast.
23:29You would have sat there on the sofa and heard this read out.
23:32But who remembers anything?
23:34Probably read it out.
23:35You probably read it out yourself.
23:36I was thinking Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia kind of area.
23:41Yeah, they're all good at football.
23:42So I've just gone randomly up there.
23:45Yep, you're in Algeria.
23:47Griff.
23:48Well, I got lost here because football, nothing to me.
23:52And also, I thought it was West Coast, so I went for what I think is Ghana,
23:56but I'm probably wrong.
23:58Cameroon.
23:58Cameroon.
23:59Oh, in the area.
24:00Well, Cameroon, they probably play football.
24:02Exactly.
24:02Lots of good African football nations around there.
24:05And Tasha, where are you?
24:06I don't know where I am.
24:08Perfect.
24:08But I did, because I thought the past few questions
24:11had kind of been more at the bottom, so I went more upwards.
24:14Clever.
24:15Niger, you are there.
24:17So we are in Algeria, Niger, we're in Democratic Republic of Congo,
24:22and we're in Cameroon.
24:24None of those teams won the Africa Cup of Nations in that year.
24:27I'll tell you who did.
24:28It was Cote d'Ivoire.
24:30But where is Cote d'Ivoire?
24:31Who is closest?
24:34Tasha and Griff are going to give you both a point.
24:36You're both very, very close.
24:37You're both equidistantly wrong.
24:41That is the end of that round.
24:44Tablets away, please, everybody.
24:46Fantastic.
24:47We have a first game of Answer Smash of the Week coming up,
24:50but let's look at the leaderboard before we do.
24:52Tasha, you have got four.
24:55John, you've got six.
24:57Griffin Alexandra, seven each.
24:58Go.
25:00Three points between everybody.
25:02Who's going to be our first champion, I wonder?

27:29Well played, Alexandra.

27:33It was your inability to recognise either Gilmore Girls
27:36or Girls Aloud that cost you their griff.
27:38I know.
