"Celebrity" Weakest Link

[ferlew]

Who on earth was the chap who got the maths question so badly wrong.
What is 29 minus 26, he answered 4. Shocking.

Melvin Odoom - a DJ

...and he got it wrong the first time this was shown, too...months ago.
Disgraceful.

I sometimes think these celebs are paid to act dumb!!
Didn't any of them go to school??? Read newspapers to keep abreast???
Obviously not.

29 minus 26?

Well, I've counted on my fingers, and then taken my shoes and socks off, but I still can't work it out. I just can't do hard sums!

[Buenchico]

Hmmm.

A Media degree. 'Nuff said ;-)

Celebs and sports ‘personalities’ on these programmes are usually quite thick and embarrassing.

Shows that everyone has his own talents, we are all gifted in some way

on these programmes are usually quite thick and embarrassing.

I agree and they have much easier Questions than the usual contestants have. However I think it's mostly for charity so I don't begrudge them being.... well...

[MargoTester]

I wonder how many of us would perform to our full potential under the pressure of studio lights and cameras and a person asking rapid fire questions under a time constraint- proabaly not as easy as we think it is. Having said that some of the so called celebrities' answers as incredibly stupid.

[smurfchops]

Joe Public on The Chase always seem very relaxed, celebs and sportspeople shouldn’t be phased by the lights and Bradley anyway; so what is their excuse?? :):):)

I'd be hopeless on any kind of tv show, I wouldn't even be able to pronounce my name if I thought the cameras were on me.
The celebs may be raising money for charity but they all get well paid to appear on the shows.

[elliemay1]

I would be the same barry, it's so much easier at home

[Arksided]

I'm really not sure how I'd do under pressure of the spotlight but they're 'celebs' so should be used to a spot light and camera's poised on them.
As you say though EllieMay... so much easier at home. Away from their comfort zone a little but still...
