32:52 He said “A Roman Holiday” and not “Roman Holiday” but Alexander didn’t pick up on it. They’re usually strict about things like that and it would’ve been wrong.
I as the the person who normally would ask "so who are the blue people" during a football game, actually guessed 3 pointless answers in the final!!!!!!
I was surprised too; also, that Alexander had no interesting biographical notes to offer, because there's a lot to say, especially her ancient life: Saint Hildegard of Bingen, abbess and philosopher, 12th century.
I wish Richard would stop giving info for answers which give clues to the other contestants. Oh, New Hampshire is smaller than Belgium? Guess I'll go for Vermont, then, considering they're near-identical (just flipped)
The same answer isn't allowed to be given for another category in Pointless, so he had to point out it fitted both. Quite apart from which, him mentioning that and your average player thinking, "Oh, that must mean Vermont is as well!" is quite the leap :D
@@phuttyyt: No, he didn't. If the same answer already isn't allowed, why the hell would he need to tell the others that they *could* have used it for a different category (for the same score) if that hadn't been the rule. And it's not about average players. It's about giving out clues, full stop. He could easily say something that made one particular person in that room think of something that made them go from 100 points to a pointless answer. He oftentimes takes care to not divulge information that could act as a clue ("I'll tell you why that's an incorrect answer at the end of the pass"), and this should have been an obvious and unnecessary oversight to him. Also, I would imagine a lot of contestants would study US states before going onto this show. Doing so, and doing the bare minimum of looking at a map of them, it's obvious Vermon and New Hampshire are the same size and could be coupled in your head. You may even try to make a point of remembering which order they're in, sort of like Togo and Benin
@ericforsyth The contestants didn't have to say which category they were answering in (although some did). Therefore, one answer which fits into more than one category counts for all categories. This is standard in such rounds on the show.

New York scoring only 6 points must be the most surprising score Ive ever seen on Pointless
40:32 - Pointless Answer - 40:46

The title of this video makes me think of Best In Show…… anyone who has seen it will know 😊

Need one more post to push down the spoilers.
“Meat or fish, which do you prefer?” Ffs, a new level of banality
How about neither I don't like to get cancer and every other single disease known to mankind.
OMG OSMOND AND THE NUTS
🇪🇨 Ecuador!!! i finally got a pointless
Haha, i thought Jojo Rabbit would be in the 90's! Also would had said born on the 4th of july hoping for smaller points than Jojo Rabbit...
Hildegard Von Bingen a pointless answer?

Only 2 are nuts
CARROT 🤣
no spoilers
The comment section is terrible now that it's on the side instead of the bottom. Too many spoilers.
moving spoilers down
Anyone else noticed Alexandra has deathly black eyes. No irises just saying.
Be careful
Is there anybody here that finds Dave's preamble before he gives his answer as quite tiresome and boring?
The movie with Audrey Hepburn is "Roman Holiday" not "A Roman Holiday", yet they were allowed it as a correct answer.
Dear oh dear, we seem to have some industrial strength nit picking here!!
