what a load of rubbish this show is... I watched the first half of this rubbish last night, and did'nt bother watching the rest - it's rubbish - Ant and Dec - you can do better than this!!!!

That Ali one is quite annoying tonight, let's hope he doesn't win

Also the women who was a "reporter", how miserable was she?!

I think it's a good show, a bit of a change for a weekday evening. My favourite graphic is the one where the players move up or down depending on whether they got the question right or not!

Didn't see it last night but watched it tonight. I thought it was pretty good, quite a good format.

I thought it was OK as well, although it's clearly another Weakest Link-type ripoff in style and substance.

I agree about that Ali, right little git and I was cheering when he went home with nothing. Cruel maybe but I ain't sorry.

I found the show extremely dull until I caught myself shouting at the screen (like many others it seems!), mainly because of Ali. The last two rounds were reasonably tense, but I'm not sure I'll watch every night of it.

I take it this show is going to be a one-off, otherwise how are they to fund the £1million jackpot without the usual phone in nosense?

The one contestant (Kim?) is known to Mollie Green at BBC WM, & she was talking to her this morning!

This was advertised as 'Poke Face' on the ECP after Coronation Street. A cunning slip on ITV's behalf perhaps?

What happened to their sponsor this evening?

Poor Barbara tonight, folding when she was top of the leaderboard

I think every show starts off pretty slow, but then draws you in as the stakes get higher. This will be why many people seem to watch 5 mins and then turn off saying it is dull. You have to watch at least half an hour
