ProSieben or live online on Prosieben Connect.
Hurrah! Die Sommerpause ist kaput, Stefan Raab’s back for another thrilling night of skill games and quizzes and tonight it’s a quadruple rollover, so he’s defending €2.5m of his own money.
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
Well you can join us for a LIVE text commentary right here on the Bar, if we can get naughty streaming.
Viel glück!
First to ten points.
Pick the two correct answers out of three within thirty seconds.
One of he two correct answers, in fact.
At least 1 answer is correct. Every correct answer selected wins a point. Pick a wrong answer, you score nothing for that q.
A ha, makes sense. Thanks JC.
Looks like it’s multiple choice, pick the INCORRECT answer out of 3 (as in, 2 are correct, so pick the wrong one).
oops, I’m COMPLETELY wrong, look up for other people who understand German explaining this.
Ahh, that time there was only one correct answer! So it’s not always 2.
I’m surprised Raab didn’t get the Hamburg question.
So they want to pick C for this one, Mars DOES have moons. Deimos and Phobos
In other news, Stefan’s knee can’t be that bad, he’s kneeling on the seat-bar-thingy instead of sitting.
What this game needs is to give each contestant a few Accelerators…
Yeah, I was thinking Duel. That’d make a good SdR game if itvwasn’t owned by someone else.
Amazing, Brad Pitt is 48 years old! I thought he was much younger!
weird. manuela got it right and got no points for it? or did she?
She selected one of the wrong answers too, thus gets no points.
It seems you can select 2 answers but you need to get them both right (I guess for 2 points)
interesting
You can put as many answers as you like. There is always at least 1 correct answer, but there could be 2 or 3.
No, because she also picked a wrong answer so scored nothing.
A question there with ALL THREE possible answers correct. That’s just having the confidence to pick more than one, there.
And finally we see the score counters. 5 all, first to 10 wins.
and what a comeback for manuela. we have a game now
Manuela’s really making a comeback, isn’t she?
And Manuela wins!
She’s pulled it back to 32:23!
Manuela wins 10-9!
Bit of a nitpick: “The Empire State building is over 450m tall: true or false?” is a terrible question. It’s 443m tall. A seven-metre difference between true or false isn’t something you can reasonably guess at.
Still, another game for Manuela, so on we go…
Surely it’s a knowledge quiz though? You either know how tall it is or you don’t. If you’re going to make all the answers easy to guess it wouldn’t be that much fun.
Well, the challenger’s now down to 7.2 on Betfair, which means… something? I don’t really understand Betfair. Presumably those who do have made a decent amount of money off that massive swing.
game 11 ballball?!
Well now it’s a match- and they have to go to Game 13…
Game 11 is Ballball!
It’s the comeback of the century! Even their scores have the same digits now.
And so we go on to at least game 13.
Spiel 11 – Ballball
Yo dawg, I heard you like balls so we put a ball in your ball so you can ball while you ball…I’ll get me coat…
You’re talking total balls.
(Yeah – TV Total Balls!)
Ballball! What a great name for a game. From the name, I guess it’s like hockey, except with balls instead of sticks. Probably great big medicine balls.
“Ballball” translates to…. “ball ball”
thanks google translate
Oh, but first a break.
Today is Bother’s Bar’s most popular day ever, so thanks everyone.
So popular I’ve actually had server errors trying to make a comment twice.
Yep, same here.
I can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that I am making ham + boursin sandwiches during this break.
AMAZING.
I like it when the Germans have exactly the same advert as we do for some things. Like the Captain Morgan advert.
Just a comment for anyone who was complaining earlier about not being able to increase the Prosieben Connect video size, provided you’re not using an ancient browser you can always zoom into the page to make the video bigger, doesn’t seem to affect the quality either.
Did anyone else listening to ProSieben Connect just get a surprising, ear-splittingly loud ping? I can only suspect it’s something to do with a new trivia question at the top-right of the page, but it was bad news for my headphones.
I think what comes up at the top right is just a product placement notification, actually. And the ping is on the unofficial stream too when that happens.
yes, the browser tab starts flashing “Neue Frage!” as well, which is very distracting
Wishing I put that sneaky fiver on now.
(Managed to reply to the wrong comment. Now in the right place…)
Well, the challenger’s now down to 7.2 on Betfair, which means… something? I don’t really understand Betfair. Presumably those who do have made a decent amount of money off that massive swing.
Mmm. The thing is you can never rule anyone out because the way the scoring system works. This is especially true when Raab falls behind.
OK, let’s see what ‘Ballball’ is all about….
Oh, this looks like a giant Crossfire, except with throwing balls instead of firing ball-bearings. Cool!
YES.
Looks like you have to hit the big ball with the smaller balls into the opponents endzone
This game looks excellent. Looks like they both have to push a basketball into their opponents end zone by throwing tennis balls at it.
this looks like a toned down version of powerball from american gladiators
i say on the first viewing before i see what it actually is
Looks like they throw tennis balls at the basketball to move it past the opponent’s line
Improvement via improper gameplay: throw more than one tennis ball at once. (…unless that has already been declared to be a foul!)
First to three, but you guessed tgat.
OK, I wasn’t expecting much, but this is another brilliant game!
THIS IS SCHLAG DEN RAAB’S BEST EVER THING.
I like this game, there’s been a few good ones tonight, hasn’t there?
Well that was an exciting point!
First to 3 seems a bit quick.
It’s Ballball game ball! Get ready to fire the Ballball game ball balls at the Ballball ball…
This is a brilliant game. Is a ball aimed to bounce at the opponent’s crotch legal? Just wondering.
AMAZEBALLS!
My goodness me. I’m not sure I can take any more excitement!
And the fightback continues! Manuela wins 3-2
Manuela 34 – 32 Stefan
Manuela still holding on! We’re going to game 14 folks.
