Tipping Point last night
Question,The word Papillon is French for which flying insect?
Answer, Dog

[tiggerblue10]

Is there a dog butterfly species? Lol

[Canary42]

Amazing how some folk don't listen to the entire question.

[jno]

must have heard it as pup-bichon :-)

[dannyk13]

There is a papillon dog but it doesn't fly.

[aelmpvw]

perhaps he was all of a flutter . . .

[Gizmonster]

I watched this yesterday and it was one of those moments where the contestant didn't have a clue .... she obviously got brain freeze and panicked and she realised as soon as she said "dog" what she'd done.
I almost spat my brew out laughing :)

I'd be hopeless if the tv cameras were on me - like a deer caught in the headlights.

[elliemay1]

I'd be the same, barry. Easy to criticise from the armchair!

[naomi24]

Haaa! In fairness though, like barry, I'd be hopeless in that situation too.

While we're on the subject does anyone know if the contestants take their winnings away? I know the loser from the first four doesn't, but what about the rest? Ben only mentions it on the first round.

Ellie//Easy to criticise from the armchair//
It wasn't a criticism, I just thought it was funny.

No only the winner takes their money ...unless it's a celebrity show for charity

[elliemay1]

No, it's only the winner who gets his/her money

I stopped watching it because of Ben`s endless rule repetition he should take a leaf out of Jeremy Clarkson`s book -- "you know the rules- yes - lets move on".

"There is a papillon dog but it doesn't fly."
It does if you kick hard enough. :-)

Bit of useless information for those who quiz - there is also a version of the Papillon (Butterfly)breed called a Phalene which is French for Moth - they have dropped ears as opposed to the erect ears of the Papillon. You're welcome.

I record everything - then I can zoom through the boring bits - and the adverts. Same with The Chase. I never listen to the conversations Bradley has with the contestants. The only quizzes I watch all the way through are University Challenge and Only Connect.

Ellie and Roslyn, thanks for answering my question.

[iluvmargie]

It was funny danny, whereas 11:43 wasn't.

[naomi24]

I didn't find that funny either.
