BuzzerVision UK: Celebrity Chase

The teams on the celebrity editions of The Chase have been doing quite well. The first episode featured Sally Lindsay, Shaun Williamson, Barry McGuigan, and Jenny Frost each winning a £14,000 for charity against Mark Labbett. In episode 2, Nick Hancock and Jenny Eclair took on Anne Hegerty in the Final Chase, but lost with just one second left on the clock. Episode 3 aired this past Saturday, and features John Thomson, Sue Cleaver, Paul Ross, and Carol Vorderman. How did they do? There's only one way to find out...

Time for "Deal or No Deal" Counterpoint, ironically enough from yesterday's episode of Deal or No Deal in Australia. The contestant has 15 of 26 cases left, including five of the top six amounts... but can he hold on to them?

Weekend Replay: “Odd One In”

Last week's episode of Odd One In proved to be a riot, as it usually always it when a hypnotist shows up anywhere. Can you guess which one is the real hypnotist?

Monty Hall’s Dealing Again

This week has been an especially fun one on Let's Make a Deal. Monty Hall is back, dealing out one game in each episode (Don't worry if you missed him; he'll be on again on Friday's show at some point). Wednesday's episode, especially, was a blast, as apparently something that never happened in all of Let's Make a Deal's history finally happened, and with Monty, no less!

Video: Most Expensive’s Makeover

On Friday's couples episode of The Price is Right, we saw two pricing game updates for the first time: the $10,000 sign for Half Off has a new background to match the game, and a brand new set for Most Expensive.  I actually seem to like this set change, as it feels more modern, like the show itself.  What do you think?

Hooray, it's finally back: QI, the show of goofiness and godawful guff. And besides, how can you not love set destruction? (-10 if you said "because you hate it.")
