Speaking as an American...she's right lmao

The Alesmen are a perfect example of why they need to raise the points amount for the first two connecting sections. I like the missing vowels round, and they should keep it, but it needs to not be as important as it is overall. The first two rounds are far more reflective of a teams connecting skills, and each point that they earn takes a lot more knowledge than guessing at the missing vowels. Missing vowels is still a fun round to be sure, but it needs to be outweighed by the first few rounds. I'd say, up the other rounds by one or two points per answer - for example, instead of a 2 point answer, it would go up to a 3 or 4 pointer. That way a team as good as the Alesmen wouldn't be punished as much for not being fast on the buzzer.

The missing vowels round only earns one point per correct answer and is still a test of recognising connections with the added test of speed. It is perfectly fair.

I love that the Third place playoff has MORE VIEWS than the actual Grand Final. This means that this series had SO much quality.

no not really, just happens with a series. people watch the first few episodes, then more and more people drop off later on. look up basically any game playthrough with numbered episodes and the first episodes do the best, with middle sections being baron, and finales have a bit more than that because people skip to the end edit: seem to have misread your comment, i think the REAL answer is that people just like the alesmen

The water curse continues for the Alesman

After rooting against the alesman in the previous game I think they redeemed themselves quite spectacularly in this one, that choice to go for water in round one showed good natured acceptance of their previous loss and they came off as a lot less off putting in general loved some of their witticisms in this episode

Gutted for the Alesman. Once again let down on the vowel round (though admittedly this time they also performed poorly on the first two, despite pulling it back in the wall). I now want to go back to their first two walls to see whether them losing tonnes of points on the vowel round is a trend haha

suspensions are RELATED to harmony but are not a type of harmony

Alesmen - Choose a hyroglyf… Water Mark Kerr

An interval in music can be both harmonic and melodic. It's an harmonic interval when two notes form a chord (i.e. one note above or below the other and played simultaneously). A melodic interval is formed between two notes which are adjacent to each other (i.e. played one after the other). Therefore, in the Wrights' connecting wall, Victoria Coren is wrong to say that the musical terms are all exclusively connected to harmony. Just for the sake of clarity, like.

10:20 - jokes on him, I have a friend whose initials are A.N.N Other...

I don’t think having given an answer that was wrong that contestants should be allowed a second chance and then give a different answer, which is then correct, which is what happened with the Alesmen. That’s allowing extra thinking time, which is not fair to the other team, and offering two different answers. This is not the same as giving a partly correct answer and then being allowed a chance to refine that answer.

Sb Antimony? What kind of a man? I ask you. What kind of a man?

the only person with a brain on the wrights team is the daughter

Swedish person here: The reason the word "omelette" is used to make people smile is because in Swedish is a matter of pronunciation. The emphasis is on the second syllable and not the first, so the smile the e sound makes is more pronounced, and it's also closer to the e sound in the English "lettuce", as opposed to the English pronunciation of "omelette", which is a more "subdued" e sound, like in for example "chess". So basically, don't blame us being dour, blame Victoria not knowing how Swedish words are pronounced ;-)
