Pointless yesterday

anyone see it?

I thought it was really unfair they made that man spell Caravagio and then when he obviously didn't have a clue and spelt it wrong they marked it wrong. What would have happened if when they had said "can you spell it?" he had said no I can't

The thing was he clearly said "Carlvaggio" which was wrong.

It was one of those rounds that was always going to be problematic.

In fairness he also asked one of the female contestants to spell her dubious pronunciation of an answer, but she spelt it correctly.

Yes he did. But Ontario was a lot easier to spell than Caravagio (I am not even sure I am spelling correctly) I still wonder what would have happened if he had said sorry I haven't a clue how to spell it.

I guess that they would have made him say it again and asked about the 'l'.

Still, they got to the head-to-head tonight.
