[GSM] Pointless (Final)

[diginova]

You said Count Almaty is

The English Patient

.

Will it be as good as your last pointless answer?

Spoiler: Result

...Yes, it is! Another pointless answer!
We add another £250 to the Jackpot, bringing it to £1,500, and it brings your final total for this question to a massive

0

.

Let's see the ones that weren't picked.

Athos, Porthos and Aramis are

The Three Musketeers

, which would have scored

39

.
Michael Henchard is the

Mayor of Casterbridge

, scoring

3

, and Oliver Mellors is

Lady Chatterley's Lover

, scoring

6

.

This was a very good pass for all of you; CuddlyCaucasian is in third with

57

, Cybele is next with

20

, and standing tall is xofelf with a perfect

0

.

[diginova]

Our final category for Round II is

LANGUAGES

.

The BBC gave one hundred people one hundred seconds to name as many...

Official languages of the European Union.

...as they could.

We're looking for any of the languages with official recognition by the EU, as stipulated in the latest amendment to

Regulation No 1 determining the languages to be used by the European Economic Community

. Regional-only languages such as Basque are not recognised as an official languages by the European Union and will therefore not be accepted.

xofelf

, add to your zero.

[xofelf]

Holy shit.. I what? um.. okay...

Let's go with...

Swedish

[diginova]

You chose

Swedish

.

Hur säger man Pointless på svenska?

Spoiler: Result

27

points isn't bad, especially after two Pointless answers last round.
'Min svävare är full med ål' is how you say 'my hovercraft is full of eels' in Swedish, by the way.

Cybele

, 6 or less will move you into first place.

[xofelf]

Yay, for good choices!

[Cybele]

Gonna go with my go-to small but not too small country and guess

Croatian

?

[diginova]

You chose

Croatian

.

Kako se kaže Pointless na hrvatskom?

Spoiler: Result

9

will put you in good standing for the final pass. Croatian just became an official language when Croatia joined the EU in 2013.
Continuing with useful phrases, 'moja je lebdjelica puna jegulja' is 'my hovercraft is full of eels' in Croatian.

CuddlyCaucasian

, give us two great answers to put pressure on your opponents.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

I really need these low points, so I'm gonna gamble on

Slovak

and

Latvian

[diginova]

You chose

Slovak

.

Ako sa po slovensky povie Pointless?

Spoiler: Result

5

is the best answer so far! Slovak is the official language of Slovakia.
You'd say 'moje vznášadlo je plné úhorov' in Slovak if you were trying to tell someone 'my hovercraft is full of eels'.

Next up is

Latvian

.

Kā latviešu valodā būs Pointless?

Spoiler: Result

Another

5

! You did what you could to see you through... let's see if you can make it with a score of

67

.
'Mans transportlīdzeklis uz gaisa spilvena ir pilns ar zušiem!' That's 'my hovercraft is full of eels' in Latvian.

Cybele

, a 37 or less will see you through.

[Cybele]

So much pressure. Um... Estonian?

[Cybele]

Oh shit, I just thought of a better answer.

[diginova]

You chose

Estonian

.

Kuidas Sa ütled Pointless eesti keeles?

Spoiler: Result

A

3

means you're through to the Head to Head with a total of

32

. We'll see who you're facing shortly, and we'll see if your better answer was in the bottom 3 at the end of the pass.
Let's keep this tired joke going as 'mu hõljuk on angerjaid täis' is 'my hovercraft is full of eels' in Estonian.

xofelf

, 39 or less gets you through. Otherwise, CuddlyCaucasian's in the Head to Head.

[xofelf]

Hm... I think I'm going to go with...

Lithuanian

[diginova]

You chose

Lithuanian

.

Kaip lietuviškai pasakyti Pointless?

Spoiler: Result

Another

3

means you're through as well with a total of

30

. I'm sorry, CuddlyCaucasian... you played amazingly, you just happened to be against two people last round who were amazing at the category.
And finally, 'mano laivas su oro pagalve pilnas ungurių' is 'my hovercraft is full of eels' in Lithuanian.

Let's see the top and bottom three answers given to this question.
Slovenian was the only Pointless answer on the board.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

I thought Bulgarian would be higher! But thank you diginova, the game was fun, I just had some scary opponents.

[diginova]

Cybele

and

xofelf

, welcome to the Head to Head!
At most three questions stand between you and the Pointless Trophy (and the semifinals of Game Show Marathon)!



Each of you will give an answer, then after both are given, I will reveal the results.
Whoever scores lowest gets a point, and the first to score two points wins the game.

xofelf

, you played the best so far this game, so you get to go first. Cybele will go first on Question 2.
Let's play Pointless: Head to Head!



Our first category is

Music

, and we're looking for...



Each of the above hit songs has an animal in the title, which we've replaced with a dash. Give us the most obscure animal and win the point.
Cybele, once xofelf gives her answer, you can immediately give yours, as I won't reveal the results until both are chosen.

[xofelf]

Union of the Snake- Duran Duran

[Cybele]

Crocodile Rock - Elton John.

Also Lion, Tiger and oh my, I have no idea what is running.

[diginova]

Let's see if those answers are correct, and if so, which one is the most obscure.

Spoiler: xofelf

You chose Union of the

Snake

.

Did Duran Duran slither into a hit?

Spoiler: Cybele

You chose

Crocodile

Rock.

Is it enough to beat xofelf? There's your red line.

Spoiler: Results

xofelf, with an

11

point answer, you win the point.



Let's see the rest of the board.



Union of the Snake was the best answer on the board.

[diginova]

Cybele

, you

must win this question to stay in the game

.


Our second category is

Art

, and we're looking for...



We are looking for the city in which each of these statues are located. The more obscure answers get fewer points.

[Cybele]

OH SHIT. DID YOU KNOW I TOOK A YEAR OF ART HISTORY?
Yeah, I know all of these, and it just comes down to figuring out which of these would be hardest to place... which I'm like 100% is Bernini's The Ecstacy of St Teresa, in Rome, Italy. I can't remember the name of the church it's in, but hell, that ought to be a good sign.
Oh yeah, and that's D, obviously. Pretty sure xof can guess the rest of them, but I'm really hoping I found the hard one.

[xofelf]

I'll be a good sport and let you have that one <3

I will thank Xalxe's Amazing Race game for me knowing that E, David is in

Firenze, Italy

and not a normal city like the rest of them.

[diginova]

Let's see if those answers are correct, and if so, which one is the most obscure.

Spoiler: Cybele

You said that D was in

Rome

.

Did your year of art history pay off?

Spoiler: xofelf

You said that E was in

Firenze

.

I'm pretty sure the people of Florence would object to you saying they didn't live in a "normal city". On Pointless, though, as long as you give us an official name of the city, it's fine. But is it correct?

Spoiler: Results

Cybele, with a

4

point answer, you even up the match 1-1.



Let's see the rest of the board.



You chose the top two answers on the board.

[xofelf]

Lol by normal I meant a bigger city with a big name.
