THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games

[ari101]

Ok I'm rather behind here but...

@davetherave Sorry for q8 but otherwise decent team work for us

@Wichita Lineman I knew Omhs but I did not know Mohs, I was 50:50 between Shom and Homs myself, Mohs just didn't cross my mind

[Mam of 4]

I guessed that GAA one, can't believe I was so close! Poor Mam went back a tad too far.

I think at that point I had ignored the questions and just kept putting in random numbers for answers

True story btw!

[RSOAPS]

SCORES AFTER ROUND 4:
 
A great round for RSoaps, whose tally of 5 points sees them move one point clear in first. Cee_Jay lurks just one point behind

[nothing]

Hmmm... Well, the secret is out!

No no no no noooooo! 

It's worse than that! 

I had 1885 on my notebook! 

Wtf nothing! Check for typos in future!

[cee_jay]

Being forced to watch I'm a Celeb every year really paid off for me this round. It was the other part of the question I struggled with.

[Leg End Reject]

I think I used the wrong picture, was that one not the Joel Dommett picture?

I'd like to give a shoutout to Covid19 for forcing me to stay in my house and watch shit TV last year...

[RSOAPS]

Oh sweet summer child... Joel Dommett wasn't pictured in this game Leggie...

[aaronjennings]

Joel Dommett did not appear in any of the pictures, I'm afraid, but I can see how you thought it was him

[quickbeam]

I don't know who any of these people are!

[aaronjennings]

Q18:
 
Unlike the previous, which had an easy question and difficult picture, this one had an easy picture but difficult question. Who is up to date on their YouTube knowledge?
 
By far the best of the wrong answers was “Gizmo Farah”, which was submitted by two players - I don’t know if the Gizmo Guys are a group, but it sounds plausible to be.
 
The YouTubers are called The Slow Mo Guys (if you’ve seen their videos, you’ll probably know who they are, even if their names didn’t click), and the picture was of Mo Farah, which means the answer I wanted was the ironically-named Slow Mo Farah

[Leg End Reject]

Oh sweet summer child... Joel Dommett wasn't pictured in this game Leggie...

I was convinced that was him and randomly picked the Michael part!

[ari101]

ROUND 4 - I’M TERRIBLE AT DATING
 
Q13:
 
Everyone did well on this question, as every answer submitted fell in to a 20-year period from 1990 to 2010. The correct answer is almost bang in the middle, that being 1999, which one person correctly identified, receiving two points for their efforts. If you answered within four years of that answer, then you will have collected a point also
 
Just like Round 2, a minimum of 10 people will receive points for each question in this round, which may increase depending on tied answers

Sweet, I thought it might actually be earlier in the 90s but figured it wouldn't be by much unless it spread very slowly

[quickbeam]

Damnit. I was actually going to put Slow Mo as I thought it'd be funny. But I was holding out for inspiration on what I thought was the correct answer, and then never changed it!

[Mam of 4]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who shortened the names to two words !

[RSOAPS]

FoMo Farrah is by far the best answer there... well played @ari101

More of a JOMO person myself of course... 

[aaronjennings]

Q19:
 
By a big margin, this was the Round 5 answer which the most people knew
 
While some opted for “The White Cliffs of Handsome Kent” and others went for “White Cliff Jean”, the correct answer I wanted was the White Cliffs of Dovernon Kay. One person was very unlucky, as they submitted “White Cliffs of Vernon Kay” - it had the Answers, but not the Smash. Will that prove costly in the final tally?
 
Funnily enough, the White Cliffs of Dover came up in Answer Smash in the actual show last week as well

[ari101]

Shout Out to Edser for the FoMo

[cee_jay]

Q19:
 
By a big margin, this was the Round 5 answer which the most people knew - it was answered correctly just once less than Qs 17, 18 and 20 combined.

Noooooooo! Why didn't I proof read my answer???

[Leg End Reject]

Ha! My first thought was Bantry Bay and I was confused by Bantry Vernon K/Bay. I queried this and Nitters answer made me rethink.

[ari101]

Well Vernon Kay... That little b****x' name drove me nuts as I knew it must be something to do with the Cliffs and I could not remember his buggering name

[ari101]

P.S. Loving White Cliff Jean

[aaronjennings]

Q20:
 
A Venn diagram of football fanatics and reality TV addicts would produce a very small overlap, so I knew this was going to be a difficult question to end the game. Quite a few people knew one name or the other, but who knew both?
 
“Darren Fletcher” is by far my favourite incorrect answer of the whole game… it is so far away, and yet so bizarrely close
 
“Luigiovanna Fletcher” is probably the closest out of all the incorrect answers, however the correct answer was  Roberto Baggiovanna Fletcher - a combination of Roberto Baggio and Giovanna Fletcher - which only four people knew

[RSOAPS]

Shout Out to Edser for the FoMo

Oops! Didn't see Edser also went for that... Well played to you too @Edser

[aaronjennings]

SCORES AFTER ROUND 5:
 
Which means, that after five rounds, 20 questions, your winner is:



Congratulations RSoaps, you walk away with the trophy, and the most-coveted of all daytime-TV gameshow prizes: the luggage case

[quickbeam]

Well done RSoaps and Cee-Jay and the joint bronzers.

Especially well done AJ. That was a great game. I want more!

[ari101]

Yeah I've heard of Baggio but even if I came up with his name I still don't know who she is

[aaronjennings]

TIEBREAKER - WIN WHEN THEY’RE SINGING
 
The winner of the game has been determined, but who comes away with this game’s equivalent of the wooden spoon: the dreaded Passport Holder?
 
We will use the tiebreaker to determine that
 
I deliberately chose a song with a long intro, to reduce the chance that people would guess all around the answer, therefore solving nothing
 
And when I say ‘long intro’… I mean it, because the correct answer was a massive 7 minutes, 25 seconds.
 
Somewhat suspiciously, someone actually guessed that exact time… which either makes it the best guess in the history of this forum, or someone misread the rules and actually listened to the whole song


 
But who am I to judge? So, in last-place, and picking up the House Of Games Passport Holder (which I couldn’t actually find a picture of, so here’s an even more generic one from Wish.com instead ) is DejaBoo


 
Many thanks to all who played, and everyone who took part in any way

[nothing]

Thanks @aaronjennings, brilliant concept, well executed, fabulous reveal, really cheered me up! Hope there's another soon

@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick well done! Great range of knowledge!

@DejaBoo you're still my favourite, don't tell the others!

Note to self: read the questions, proofread answers, go with your instincts!

[cee_jay]

Thanks Aaron, I really enjoyed that!
Congrats RSoaps, well played!

[ari101]

Congrats RSoaps and Deja and everyone in between, I am pretty happy with my lucky guessing and had great fun.

Thanks Aaron! I really must check this programme out!

[Leg End Reject]

That was brilliant, AJ! Some tough questions and great wrong answers.

Congrats Soaps and damn Joel Dommett!

[Edser]

Well played all, and congrats RSOAPS & Deja!

Some of the wrong answers were so funny 

Thanks AJ, great game and reveal 

[RSOAPS]

Awww yeah!!! Can't believe I even managed to luck out on that final sportsball question with Roberto Baggio who I only know through Pop Culture Osmosis (cheers for that Dougal   )



Absolutely brilliant game aaron, and great reveal.

Well played everyone, some cracking answers (both correct and incorrect) throughout.

And of course, it's obviously not about winning and just taking part is the real victory... but then again... on the other hand...

[Trigger]

Congrats Soapy! Great answering..

Aaron that was amazing and a brilliant game and reveal, was such fun to try and answer those questions.

I really hope you will try a sequal

[Mam of 4]

Congratulations Rsoaps and Deja !

Thank you AJ , that was a brilliant, but brutal , game!

[Wichita Lineman]

Great reveal AJ, apologies for having to bail out midway. It was nothing to with the fact that I knew I was going to drop like a stone with the 'I'm a H list Celebrity' section! Well done to all the winners and fellow losers 

[jp liz v1]

@DejaBoo we did our best

Well done @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick

Thank you @aaronjennings

[E.N.]

Cracking game @aaronjennings
Brilliantly done, thanks
Round 1 was definitely my favourite

Congrats Soapy, some fine scoring there!

[Zaph]

Was out tonight so belatedly catching up. Great game and reveal AJ, really enjoyed it. And congrats to my round 2 team mate Soapy, that means I won too, yeah?
