Pointless Questions. Has Anybody Filled In An Answer Form With 100 Others

[gollob]

has anybody on here ever been askedIs it a complete con because they never say where they get their answers from. Perhaps they use the same 100 people over and over again. Does anybody genuinely think they really ask 100 different people

They ask the audience.

I think they ask studio audience members the questions for upcoming shows....seems like the cheapest/easiest option....not a con at all (I've never watched it, btw!)

Where did you get that info from, Mazie. I've always been led to believe that such quiz shows use outside agencies to poll.

I have answered questions for Pointless and the questions are worded differently to that on the actual show and you are timed. After 1 minute the next question appears. Some are hard and you don't have time to check out answers on another screen.

Thank you Mamya. I always thought it was the audience.
Sorry gollob I always thought it was.

According to mamy's link, Sharon, the whole thing is done on line and those being questioned are unaware that they are answering questions 'Pointless'?

Here is a good link from Mamyas link, very interesting for all tv game shows.

Thanks Mamya.
