C'est très excitant...

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Leg End Reject - 14-08-2022

Bon soir mes amis!

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

Grab a carafe of your favourite Beaujolais or Chardonnay, for the hour of the Reveal beckons.

Let us first stand for the French National Anthem:




"Love, love, love....."

Our Francophiles for tonight are:

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

Our first question involved naming a French city other than the most famous one named after Ms. Hilton.

Did any of these belles villes take your fancy? (Note; there will be a lot of poorly-made collages like this on show this evening.)

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

Perhaps the name of the anthem was a big clue to what our first big Sheep of the evening would be!

I'll provide an update the scores after every third round.

Our second question asked you to name one of the 18 administrative regions of France.
Only five of these were chosen, however:

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Jluv - 14-08-2022

Well that didn't start too good😟

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

It's Brittany, bitch!

The Sheepers in this round are those showing solidarity with our Celtic cousins in Breizh. 

[Image: 255px-Flag_of_Brittany.svg.png]

Our history buffs in Normandy pick up some consolation points, as do our city-slickers in Île-de-France (a.k.a. Paris region). 

Lorcan's mountaineering adventure and Liz's trip to the Mediterranean, however, shall remain solo activities.

Question 2: Name one of the 18 Administrative Regions of France.

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

Our third question asked to name a post-war President of France.

Only three answers were given here; did you opt for the Airport Man?

[Image: 330px-De_Gaulle-OWI_%28cropped%29-%28d%29.jpg]

The Ortolan Muncher?

[Image: 800px-President_Fran%C3%A7ois_Mitterrand_in_1983.jpg]

Or the Sugar Baby?

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

Le Mouton En Marche!

Whether you like him or not, he's pretty much the unofficial leader of Europe since Frau Merkel retired. So no surprise to see Monsieur Macron come out on top. 

Question 3: Name someone who has served as President of France.

Emmanuel Macron - 17

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

After three rounds, six of our 22 are 3/3 in terms of Mouton-selection.
Zaph's misplaced faith in Mr Mitterrand sees him sharing the cuillère en bois with Butty for now, but it's still early days.

We turn our attention to the big screen next.

Q.4 Name a French actor or actress.

Did you go with an old-school sex symbol?

[Image: Brigitte_Bardot_-_1962.jpg]

Or a prolific hellraiser?

[Image: G%C3%A9rard_Depardieu_%28Berlin_Film_Fes...010%29.jpg]

Maybe you chose an Oscar-winning Rose?

[Image: 53d1786f4732b65e5f59dab000d7108a.jpg]

Or perhaps you opted for one of these fine messieurs?

Didn't I mention, I'm fluent in French

(when I have Google Translate open)

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

I don't think I've ever actually seen him in anything but a lot of you seem keen on Monsieur Depardieu. 

Would have expected a few more for Marion Cotillard tbh, rather surprised that she Aced. I can't say much about the other Ace as I've never heard of him!  Blush

Sacre Bleu! get me off the bottom slot.
Fecking Macron, he has the personality of a wet lettuce leaf.   Dodgy

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

Now it's time for all your art aficionados to show off.

Do you know your Delacroix from your Degas?

[Image: 1024px-Eug%C3%A8ne_Delacroix_-_Le_28_Jui...peuple.jpg][Image: 1024px-Edgar_Degas_-_Chasse_de_danse.jpg]

Your Renoir from your Rodin?

[Image: 800px-Mus%C3%A9e_Rodin_1.jpg]

Are you mad about Matisse?

[Image: Matisse_Les_toits.jpg]

Do you go gaga for Gauguin?

[Image: 1024px-Paul_Gauguin_056.jpg]

Maybe you say 'oui' to Cézanne?

[Image: 1280px-Paul_C%C3%A9zanne_-_Montagne_Sain...roject.jpg]

Or perhaps ur in awe(l) of Duchamp?

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - aaronjennings - 14-08-2022

It's concerning that my score is so low already, when I thought my answers in the second half were going to be the bad ones Big Grin

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

And if you've nothing to lose, than what the heck;
put your hopes on Toulouse-Lautrec?

(Only 10 images allowed in one post but it took me too long to come up with all of that so I'll be damned if I let it go  Angry ).

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Butty Brennan - 14-08-2022

if all those artists are answers this will be a low scoring round, maybe aces for all!

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

Given the wide range of possible answers here I expected a lot more variety in this question....but it seems that you all really like water lillies?!

S/o to @ari101's ill-fated attempt of "avoiding the Chewbacca" - discounting both the existence of another Chewbacca (hi Rodin!) and highlighting that nobody else seems to care at all about Édouard Manet.  Confused

And @Butty Brennan , if it's any consolation I'd have picked Matisse too. That's mainly down to personal preference though.

Sometimes I'll just give you all the answers that were chosen but sometimes I'll throw some red herrings in as well. Depends on the question, and my mood!  Tongue

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

Time for a kickabout now; five footballers were chosen here, and they collectively form quite the Rogues' Gallery! shock 

Q.6 Name a French footballer

Which of these notorious figures will you be supporting;

The Handballer?

The Headbutter?

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022

That fateful night in 2009 lingers on, with the most hated French person since Marie Antoinette* cheating his way to another victory here ahead of Zizou and King Eric.

Lorcan makes the mistake of going too modern.
Butty makes the mistake of watching too many Head and Shoulders ads.
