Hello again dear reader, oh how I have missed you.
I'm sorry I haven't written recently. This is partly down to sheer laziness but also due to the fact that I haven't had a very good idea to write about, but this morning I happened to stumble across one as I was leaving my house for school. This idea was massive, and there was no way I was going to leave without tripping over it. This idea, is game shows and quiz shows.
I am a great fan of this "genre" of TV shows. In fact I would be perfectly happy watching all the repeated old shows on "Challenge" for a whole day, even if they were repeated during the day. But there is one thing that really annoys me while watching shows such as this. Stupid people. The question will be something simple like "what colour is a banana?" and they literally spend half an hour considering the options and still end up getting it wrong. I often find myself screaming at the television the correct answer in some mundane attempt for them to have a random spark of genius or that maybe they will somehow hear me.
You have to wonder how these people got on the show in the first place. Its lucky there is no tests or special requirements for most of these shows, because otherwise there would be nobody participating in them. I suppose that for amusement and entertainment reasons these types of human beings were hunted down and personally delivered to the TV companies so that they could be made a mockery of. It's a pretty good system if you ask me.
But there is one amazing feeling you get from watching quiz shows. This feeling is the feeling of godly power when you randomly guess an answer correctly for a tough question not even the show itself must know. The sense of other-worldliness kicks in, and you start to feel you can take not only this show, but every other show that's out there. "Get in there!!" is one of my most popular outbursts whenever this occurs.
Now I want to show you some people failing at quiz shows, or indeed the show failing itself. Here are a of couple videos that may just bring a smile to your face :).

Sorry for that, thought you could do with a laugh. Finally, I tried to apply for a game show. Now I know I previously stated that they were for people of low IQ, but it wasn't specifically a quiz show. Oh no, it was something far greater. It was only "Total Wipeout"! But sadly I am not 18 so wasn't allowed. Sucks to be me.
Anyway, thank you for reading, I realise this was quite a lengthy one but thought I owed it to you seeing as I hadn't done one in a while. Have a good night all.
