Socoder Newsletter; Transmission Complete#252 - Friday 19th February, 2016 https://groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Friday, Waiting for The Chase to start. Tipping Point For gods sake, this is one of the worst shows imaginable.. The concept is simple enough. The contestants get asked questions to earn coins, which are then dropped into a giant coin-pusher machine. You score points (pounds!!) coin that subsequently drops into the award area. The ones with the most points (reminder : pounds!!) move on to the next round. Those that lose go home with nothing.. Not even the pounds they'd earned.. They get nothing... Come the final round, the "winner" has a chance to win a ?10,000 mega coin. If they DO win the mega coin, they don't win any of the money they'd previously won, and ONLY get the ?10,000 from the mega coin. Cheap. Very cheap!! -=-=- And, damn, if these questions aren't piss-easy... Actual examples that I've actually LOLd at... What game does a golfer play? A Dubliner comes from which Irish town? Basically, this show would melt your mind... Dumb TV for Dumb people...
