Ten To The Top

 

R1:

1-2-x-1-2-x-1-2-x-1² = 11

 

didn't get:

Whitesnake, David Soul, The Family Stand

 

 

R2:

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10² = 65 :w00t: finally got there!

Can't get Popmaster on the radio round these rural parts, annoyingly, so will have to try and find some internetty link.

 

On t'other, round 1 full marks (always opt to play the joker on question 10, say I)

 

round 2, that policy caused me to flounder as I couldn't recall the bloody title of that

Calvin/Smith

chart-topper. Bet I wasn't the only one....! Got the rest, but obv the Joker not worth much on Q10 by then.

Well done Jade on your first full house on Ten To The Top :w00t: and John for yours on Round 1

 

I've given today's a go:

 

Round 1: 20 (1+2+0+1+2+0+1+2+3+8) - didn't get

Whitesnake, 1977 for David Soul (said 1974)

 

 

Round 2: 65 for me too :cheer:

The podcast only has Round 2 on it today.

 

Where are you listening to the podcast? I found it on this website and it had the full thing on there today:

The sound quality is not the best but still happy to have the quiz back now.

 

Oops I've not posted in this thread for ages, I got a bit behind with playing the quizzes too but all caught up now. Dumping my TTTT scores for the last 2 weeks here and I'll write this week so far's ones up properly (+ PopMaster since its return) in the next post x

Friday 31st round 2 being a new low to date for me lol (I should have got 4 but I could only think of

Paul Potts' version of 'Nessun Dorma', Pavarotti's name just totally escaped me...

but that would still have been a new low anyway). 27 my second highest to date though.

 

That wasn't my most embarrassing miss but I'll leave that as a secret :teresa:

That's the one I've been using but today's was only 10 minutes long when I was on there. Maybe they corrected it after that.

PopMaster

 

Monday:

 

Round 1: 12 (missed

) - mind totally blanked after the first one and only barely got a second one let alone a third, not off to a flying start oop

all the #rodklaxons in the world not saving me

 

 

Most annoying miss there being

misremembering the Status Quo title as 'Get Down'

, but all very mediocre in general, starting as I probably mean to go on :lol: 7 years late and then 1 year early for year questions, a 1 year out already as well.

Hazel O'Connor (-3), 'It's Over' (-3), 1977 (-3), 'I Don't Want To Be A Hero' (-6), 'Losing My Mind' (-3), Elkie Brooks (-3)

Another annoying miss

misremembering 'Real Love' as 'True Love', sorry Monty the Penguin </3

. 2 years late then 1 year late.

Today:

 

Round 1: 18 (missed

'Where Did Our Love Go' (-3), 1975 (-3), Secret Affair (-6), Bee Gees (-3), 'Modern Girl' (-3), Everything But The Girl (-3)

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'Don't You Want Me', 'Human'

) - I'll get one of these again one day!

 

My best results since the comeback woo. 13 years late on round 1 oops but got the year right on round 2. I was worrying after the first two rounds that the move to a more retro music focused station meant he had completely done away with any questions about anything post-2000 but there were finally a couple of such questions today, they definitely seem rarer than before though.

Ten To The Top

 

Monday:

 

Round 1: 1+2+0+0+1+0+1+2+0+0 = 7 (missed

'Love In An Elevator', 1979, 'Drop Dead Gorgeous', Raffaella Carrà, Menswear

)

Round 2: 1+2+3+4+5+0+0+1+2+3 = 21 (missed

Roxy Music, Denise LaSalle

)

 

Unfortunately used my joker on question 6 in round 2 so couldn't use it to double the last 3, aw. That's the first time I've got all of the first 5 questions right anyway.

 

 

I was... 497,785,786 over for the tiebreak question :lol: guessed 2,000,000,000 (still a lot closer than either of the contestants, at least I was on the right order of magnitude!)

 

 

~

 

Tuesday:

 

Round 1: 1+2+3+4+0+1+0+0+0+2 = 13 (missed

Beck, 1987, Johnny Nash, '6 Underground'

)

Round 2: 0+0+0+1+0+1+2+3+0+2 = 9 (missed

Survivor, Womack & Womack, Millie Small, Eighth Wonder, Peter Skellern

)

 

 

Survivor

was possibly even more embarrassing than the miss I alluded to in the last post actually but it was only question 1 and I missed question 2 as well so little damage done -

I was confusing them with Europe which I knew was wrong but I couldn't think of the right name in time

. Funnily enough they popped up in PopMaster as well on the same day and I missed them there too, although that was a slightly harder question about them!

 

Now Ten To The Top seems to have adopted including a year question in every round as well I have double the chance for '1 year out', and indeed did that in round 1 here, was 1 year late.

 

Well done to the contestant in round 2 getting all the questions right (albeit not with a 65 due to the early joker) and sounding less like he was cheating than the previous such contestant to do so :kink:

 

~

 

Today:

 

Round 1: 1+2+0+1+2+0+1+2+0+2 = 11 (missed

Whitesnake, 1977, 'Ghetto Heaven'

)

Round 2: 1+2+3+0+1+2+3+4+0+0 = 16 (missed

'Fastlove, Pt. 1', Kym Sims, Janet Jackson

)

 

Could have been a solid new high score on round 2 if my

George Michael

chronology was better in my head, I went for

'A Different Corner', thought that was a lot later in his career for some reason oops

. Congrats to those getting 65 on that round, I never could have as I didn't recognise the

Kym Sims

clip at all nor do I even recognise the artist name, should have got the last question as well though!

 

Shall try and resume posting in here daily now x

Thank you, well done both also!

TTTT: Round 1 only, missed round 2. I got everythign right up to the point when I said

"Andy...."

for the last question and the contestant jumped in with the surname while my brain was sorting through Scottish surnames. So technically woulda dropped 20 points, doh!

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'My Heart Will Go On', 'Loved Me Back To Life', 'Think Twice'

)

 

A year early for the round 2 year question. Wow, dangerously close to getting 0 for the first time, my brain is really not working today :kink: And the one I did get (

Geri Halliwell song title

) I only barely got in time so it would have been 0 if not for the contestant not knowing it. :lol:

 

Think I should have managed 27 in round 1, the first two bonus questions were both facepalm moments -

I confused Mariah's voice with Whitney's for some reason, and then the REO Speedwagon song I know from the Cigarettes After Sex cover that was in BJSC but I was stuck on just thinking the tune sounded familiar without making that connection

. And a couple more I should have got from round 2 as well,

I completely tanked out of the gate confusing Madness with UB40, and pretty sure there was a question about 'Lonely Boy' in one of these quizzes just the other day but I clearly didn't retain that information at all lol

. But didn't help that the last two bonuses were the only songs I knew from their respective artists :kink:

 

At least I finally got a 3 in 10 for the first time since the return!

Ten To The Top

 

Round 1: 1+2+0+1+2+0+1+0+1+0 = 8 (missed

The Proclaimers, Liza Minnelli, 9 weeks, Andy Stewart

)

Round 2: 1+0+0+1+0+1+2+0+1+4 = 10 (missed

'Pump Up The Volume', Candi Staton, 1994, Anita Ward

)

 

Frustration continuing here, just not my day - unfortunately spacing out my fumbles very evenly which ruins my scores in this format of course :drama: I got 60% of the questions right but only 13.8% of the possible score *_*

 

From round 1,

again there was another question about that Liza Minnelli song very recently but that didn't stick with me, and I guessed 6 weeks for the Frankie Goes To Hollywood song, I think I was thinking of 'Relax' although I'd still have been wrong anyway as that was only 5 lol

. And I reckon I should have got 3 of the 4 that I missed in round 2 -

I sad 'Pump Up The Jam' instead of 'Pump Up The Volume' in my biggest facepalm of the day, was 1 year early for Doop and then just completely mindblanked on Anita Ward

.

 

I was way off on the tiebreaker, I guessed 300 - did not have enough time to do the mental maths to come up with an even half accurate guess :lol:

 

WD Jade on another 65, and I will hope for my brain to work more again some day soon :basil:

Ten To The Top

 

Well done Jade on another 65!

 

I gave it a go:

Round 1: 65 :cheer:

Round 2: 65 :cheer: :cheer:

 

My first ever double 65 :cheeseblock: but of course it had to be a day with a tiebreaker, and although my guess of

475

was only 13 out, technically that scuppered my clean sweep on one programme! Ah well...

Pretty harsh of Gary not to give the

"Effiel 63"

answer - Ken woulda given half a point :lol:

 

Got 8/65 in Round 1 anyway!!

18/65 in round 2 Couldnt remember the name of the

Tenpole Tudor

song and I loved it on the old TOTP reruns!
