No it’s alright, they’re not just giving them out to any old show these days, it’s up for the New Media award i.e. it’s got a fairly fun online game.
Digital Spy has a full list of nominees, the only real other interest from the genre’s point of view as far as I can see is that Celebrity Juice is also up for an audience award.
Edit: and The Young Apprentice.
Nothing giving them out to any old show, you say?
Explain Celebrity Juice getting nominated, then.
It takes a special kind of awful to make me genuinely angry about a mere nomination.
It’s the audience award, and in the words of him off Peep Show: “People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can’t trust people.”
And no, this isn’t Godwin’s Law here.
I’ve got a soft spot for Celebrity Juice, it’s crap, but it has a certain joire de vivre. And it pulls in big numbers for ITV2, about twice what The Bank Job brings in, in fact.
And in other news, 101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow is getting a second series. In China.
What a random scheduling decision by ITV!
Tuesday 8pm and we have a repeat of a civilian WWTBAM! A really old one as Chris keeps going on about ‘how new’ the clock format is!
I wouldn’t be too surprised if the monkeys received a truckload of complaints after what happened at the Nou Camp… 😉
Couldn’t help it in fairness – they only take one match per week, it’s always the Wednesday one in this contract (Tuesday nights in the next one starting in 2012-13, I understand), and the semi-final scheduling was determined with the quarter-final draw last month.
(Digression: and it was fortunate that it fell the way it did. Had Chelsea been scheduled to play their first leg last Tuesday, that would have set them on a formidable collision course with Liverpool, who could never have been forced to play their FA Cup semi-final on the Sunday due to it being the anniversary of Hillsborough, and the only solution I could have seen would have been Chelsea playing their FA Cup semi-final on Friday night…)

a look at the board tells that the rules should be the same except for one additional Avanti card in the mix

The Melbourne University Mathematics Society puzzle hunt is in progress, having started on Monday. Four new puzzles are released each day. I haven’t properly looked at them yet, but I know that at least one of them is likely to be of interest to denizens here, particularly the PuzzGridier ones.
(Nice applet!)
Well, it’s clearly too easy if I managed to get even one group right.
I haven’t done that since one group on the show was Super Mario games.
I got the group with Templar in it – is that the same one?
…Yup. Probably the easiest one, admittedly.
Ok, solved it though I’m not sure how. (SPOILERS HEREIN) Crown, Hawk, Hood, Templar I though was initially film heroes (Hudson Hawk, Robin Hood, Simon Templar, Thomas Crown) although it kinda works for Knight or Night too (Nighthawk, Knighthood, Knight Templar…?)
The eggs one I Googled. Dirty, Express, Monkeys, Shanghai looks like it should be words from particular films (Dirty Harry, 12 Monkeys etc.) but I can’t see anyone common to all four. The other four clues are a complete mystery.
They’ve geoblocked fort-boyard.fr.
WHYYYYYY
Wow, mental.
They put the geo-block message in English as well.
IT’S LIKE THEY KNOW WE’RE THERE.
WHAT DON’T THEY WANT US TO KNOW?
