Here we go then! Let the speculation commence as I reveal YOUR answers! Let’s see what our survey says!

You were asked for an answer to the following:

- One of the Daniel Craig James Bond films
- A single by Mcfly that reached number 1 in the UK
- An act from the UK X Factor that did not win
- A city that hosted the Winter Olympics between 2002-2018 inclusive!
- One of the judges from America’s Got Talent
- An American state
- A gift given by “my true love” in the 12 Days of Christmas
- A famous dog

For the purpose of clarity, I put my responses in the moderator thread (hidden!) but my fellow mods can see my responses (so that I can take part myself and not change my answers to fix the game!)

Players:
Yobnedor
Wardy
Scene
Gooddelta
Jimwatts
Jahq
Dobbo
Roba.
Mack
Spiceboy
Tafty333
Jade
King Rollo
Chez Wombat
Jay

I’m just going to reveal in order; it worked the last three times so let’s hope it keeps things interesting this time!

Posted by: Scene 22nd April 2024, 09:50 AM

I’m ready to slay (or not)

Posted by: Roba. 22nd April 2024, 11:45 AM

Hopefully a good showing for myself!

Yeah I clearly forgot about which forum I was playing this in oops (yay Chez at least x)

Posted by: King Rollo 22nd April 2024, 09:11 PM

I just went for the first of his appearances.

Posted by: awardinary 22nd April 2024, 09:15 PM

I thought BuzzJack would all say Skyfall because of Adele.

I thought Skyfall would be most popular wtf

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 23rd April 2024, 06:57 AM

My fault for not entering I know, I intended to but had a few personal things going on.

Would’ve picked Skyfall though.

Posted by: Yobnedor 23rd April 2024, 08:03 PM

Question 2 asked for a single by Mcfly that reached Number 1:

There were quite a few to choose from, but, as usual, we were mostly creatures of habit and picked the same handful of songs!

All About You: Yobnedor, Jay, Jade, Roba, Mack, gooddelta, jimwatts, Wardy
Five Colours In Her Hair: Chez Wombat, King Rollo, spiceboy, Dobbo, Jahq, scene
Obviously: Tafty333

Scores:


15 points: Jay, jimwatts, Mack, Roba
14 points: Wardy, gooddelta, Yobnedor
13 points: King Rollo, Jahq,
12 points: spiceboy, Dobbo, Scene
10 points: Jade
8 points: Tafty333, Chez Wombat

Posted by: awardinary 23rd April 2024, 08:09 PM

Glad I picked the same as James that time! Unfortunately Obviously wasn’t so obvious after all for Jonjo.

Posted by: King Rollo 23rd April 2024, 08:18 PM

I just went for the first one again, it didn't work out quite as well this time.

Posted by: Roba. 23rd April 2024, 08:32 PM

Did think 'All About You' would be most guessed for that ('Five Colours In Her Hair' would've been 2nd guess though)!

Posted by: Jade 23rd April 2024, 08:41 PM

Okay phew at least that question went better

Posted by: Scene 23rd April 2024, 08:54 PM

I thought everyone would go safe and pick their debut

Posted by: jimwatts 23rd April 2024, 10:10 PM

I had considered 'Star Girl' but luckily saw sense and went for their biggest seller.

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 24th April 2024, 01:29 AM

Not me not even registering AAY as a possibility

It was between FCIHH or 'Obviously' for me, so I went for the better one!

The next question asked for an act that did not win X Factor UK.

1D: Yobnedor, Jay, Chez Wombat, King Rollo, Dobbo, Jahq, Scene, Jim Watts,
Olly Murs: Tafty333, Jade, Roba, gooddelta, Wardy
JLS: Mack, Spiceboy

Scores:

22 points: Jay, Jimwatts
21 points: Yobnedor
20 points: Roba, King Rollo, Jahq,
19 points: Gooddelta, Wardy, Scene, Dobbo
17 points: Mack
15 points: Jade, Chez Wombat
14 points: Spiceboy
13 points: Tafty333

Shout up if anything doesn’t look right!

Posted by: Jade 24th April 2024, 04:30 PM

Oh oops my mind went straight to 2nd place acts - of course 1D

Posted by: gooddelta 24th April 2024, 04:33 PM

Mine too, I only thought of Olly and JLS, I can't believe 1D evaded me. It's as if sometimes I forget they were ever part of X Factor, as they seemed so much more polished as a final product when they launched with What Makes You Beautiful compared to when they were on the show.

Posted by: Roba. 24th April 2024, 04:35 PM

Yeah same here for me 1D never came to mind oops. I forgot they didn't even come second either

Still Olly is a fine pick and I did consider JLS as well.

Posted by: awardinary 24th April 2024, 05:13 PM

Me and Jade to change our usernames to JadeOllyGaga and WardyMurs in protest to that outcome.

Posted by: Scene 24th April 2024, 07:05 PM

I thought it would be unanimous for 1D lol

Posted by: J❄️hq 25th April 2024, 02:21 PM

Don't think I considered anything other than the debut for the McFly question, but I'll back Jonjo up that "Obviously" is better, still one of their absolute best for me.

Doing well so far but not sure how the next question is going to go, I didn't pick either the earliest or latest possible options, just hoping that Buzzjack being Buzzjack, there's a non-Olympics related reason why a particular city jumps out.

Looks like the 8 of us who went for 1D have been given 7 points rather than 8, so should have 1 more each?

This one has done it! A Winter Olympics host city (2002-2018) is what you were asked next and finally we have a good range of answers!

Sochi: Yobnedor, Dobbo
Beijing: Jay
Pyeongchang: Chez Wombat, gooddelta
Salt Lake City: King Rollo, Jade,
Turin: Tafty333, Roba, Jahq
Vancouver: Mack, spiceboy, scene, jimwatts

It’s all getting a bit tense!!

Posted by: J❄️hq 25th April 2024, 09:18 PM

Can't be mad with that, thanks random city that Italy likes to award big events to.

Vancouver is the only other one that I could recall off the top of my head, 2010 was the most I've paid attention to the Winter Olympics, think it was some pre-London 2012 hype.

Posted by: Dobbo 25th April 2024, 09:55 PM

I was thinking of just going for the most recent one there but in my head the Sochi one seemed to be more in the news and I don't even remember that Korean one!

Posted by: Mack. 26th April 2024, 12:15 AM

Thanks Vancouver was going for Salt Lake but went for Vancouver, that the start of Britain's domination in the women's skeleton.

Posted by: Scene 26th April 2024, 05:23 AM

Oh wow Vancouver won that round! I just went for Canada because it’s cold. maybe that logic worked?

Coming for jimwatts’ wig!

Posted by: Yobnedor 26th April 2024, 11:04 PM

The next question asked for an America’s Got Talent judge.

Here is what we said:

Simon Cowell: Chez Wombat, King Rollo, Tafty333, Jade, Roba, Mack, spiceboy, Dobbo, Jahq, gooddelta, scene, Wardy, Jay, Yobnedor

Oh wow, how brutal for Jim to be leading and then knocked all the way down like that

Posted by: Roba. 26th April 2024, 11:31 PM

Simon the obvious choice for any judge question on most talent shows ~

Posted by: Mack. 27th April 2024, 12:31 AM

Thank you Simon Cowell, done much us a favour there, sorry Jim.

Posted by: Scene 27th April 2024, 01:03 AM

Was Paula Abdul even a judge on America's Got Talent?

Posted by: Yobnedor 27th April 2024, 04:57 AM

I thought some of the Spice fans would pick Mel B but… it wasn’t enough of a pull!

Posted by: Yobnedor 27th April 2024, 04:15 PM

Our next question asked for an American state! Plenty to choose from… but we stuck to three!

California: Chez Wombat, King Rollo, Mack, gooddelta, Scene, Jimwatts, Wardy, Yobnedor

Oh my at yesterday's wipeout I was thinking of American Idol instead, even then I almost put Simon Cowell. Back to a top answer today at least.

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 27th April 2024, 05:51 PM

Oh come on, I assumed New York would be the obvious choice and an easy top answer due to how major the city is

Not sure I'll be able to work my way back up the leaderboard now as I'm not confident on the dog question, it was a choice between more recent (relatively) or a more old school option

Posted by: Mack. 28th April 2024, 02:00 AM

Good old California helping me out there.

Posted by: Yobnedor 28th April 2024, 03:54 PM

Another brutal topple for another member now.

Our penultimate question asked: A gift that “my true love gave to me” in the 12 Days of Christmas:

A Partridge in a Pear Tree: Yobnedor, Jay, Chez Wombat, King Rollo, Jade, spiceboy, gooddelta, Scene, Wardy
Five Gold Rings: Tafty333, Mack, Dobbo, Jahq, jimwatts,
Two Turtle Doves: Roba

Jimwatts: Due to Paula Abdul actually being wrong, and me accidentally giving you the point, I’ve awarded you 4 points here. Sorry

Our penultimate scoreboard:

55 points: Yobnedor, Scene
54 points: King Rollo
52 points: Jay, gooddelta
51 points: Wardy
49 points: Chez Wombat
48 points: Mack
46 points: Dobbo
45 points: Jahq, Jade
43 points: Roba, spiceboy
40 points: Jimwatts, Tafty333

And not my fault I actually slay at this game anyway!

Posted by: Roba. 28th April 2024, 04:04 PM

Well I guess Partridge was the obvious answer but for some reason didn't go directly for that oops. Surprised I'm the only one who went for Turtle Doves though and welp cost me a lot lmao.

Posted by: Yobnedor 28th April 2024, 04:08 PM

There really have been some clangers this time round.

From what I can remember (I’m doing this as I go) the last question has a couple as well!

Posted by: King Rollo 28th April 2024, 04:09 PM

The dogs will decide this then. I hope I picked a different dog than the two leaders did.

Posted by: Scene 28th April 2024, 04:18 PM

Buster: Mack
Pongo: spiceboy
Hachi: Tafty333

49 points: Mack
44 points: spiceboy
41 points: Tafty333

But… there’s more…

Posted by: Yobnedor 28th April 2024, 09:25 PM

Scooby Doo was said… quite a few times.

Lassie was said… quite a few times.

Posted by: Yobnedor 28th April 2024, 09:30 PM

Scooby Doo: Jay, Yobnedor, Roba, Dobbo, gooddelta, jimwatts
Lassie: Chez Wombat, King Rollo, Jade, Jahq, Scene, Wardy

Which means…



The final scores are:













61 points: Yobnedor, Scene
60 points: King Rollo
58 points: Jay, gooddelta
57 points: Wardy
55 points: Chez Wombat
52 points: Dobbo
51 points: Jahq, Jade
49 points: Roba, Mack
46 points: Jimwatts
44 points: spiceboy
41 points: Tafty333



And so I’ve done it again! The king (or queen) of Family Fortunes remains unbeaten! I am pleased to share the crown with fellow mod Scene but… yaaaaaas!

Thanks all for playing; next time: do better xoxoxo

Posted by: Roba. 28th April 2024, 09:40 PM

Congrats James (again) and Scene

Well if only for that Christmas question I'd be higher than that even but done pretty good overall with answers and not bottom 3 is something good too!

Posted by: gooddelta 28th April 2024, 09:57 PM

Well done James, KING...of this game. And Scene

Very happy with joint third. Good to see Scooby Doo is still a relevant dog, as I wondered if the reference was getting on a bit. But then Lassie is of a similar vintage.

Posted by: jimwatts 28th April 2024, 10:16 PM

Congrats Scene on tying with the serial winner Well done James too of course and thank you for hosting!
13th - just glad the Simon Cowell question alone didn't cost me the win (would have been joint 3rd though!)

Posted by: King Rollo 28th April 2024, 10:18 PM

Only one point behind!

Thanks Yobnedor for hosting this again and congrats to you and Scene on winning.

Posted by: Roba. 28th April 2024, 11:19 PM

Oh yes thanks for running this again James too.
