The 1% Club player makes embarrassing blunder on question that had 11 people stumped – could you guess right?
A PLAYER on The 1% Club made an embarrassing blunder on a question that left several others stumped – could you guess correctly? This 70% question eliminated 11 people altogether in the ITV game show.
Lee Mack had asked the remaining contestants: “Based on the results shown here, which of these sports teams is the best?”
The screen showed various final game scores for a selection of fictional teams.
Available options included A) Breezers, B) All Stars, C) Flames or D) Gems.
The correct answer was Breezers, who had successfully won all of their games.
Lee then proceeded to turn his attention to eliminated player Zainab.
Having asked what she answered, the contestant replied: “I put All Stars.
“I didn’t even look at the numbers. I just thought, ‘Oh, All Stars. They just seem like the best name.’”
Lee responded: “Whoa, you didn’t just go with what you thought was the best name?”
As she nodded to confirm, Lee asked: “What did you think all the numbers were for?”
Zainab explained: “I don’t know – I don’t watch football or anything like that.”
To which Lee remarked: “They’re not real teams! And it’s not even football, it says sport.”
In another episode, a contestant branded herself “thick” after getting an easy picture question wrong.
The players had been asked: “Which of these Vincent van Gogh self-portraits has been altered?”
Players had just 30 seconds to examine three photos of the famous painter and pick out the correct answer.
The answer turned out to be C – as this featured the legendary Dutch artist wearing earbuds, which weren’t invented for another 100-years after his death in 1890.
The faked image also played on the fact Van Gogh infamously also cut off one of his ears during a furious row with artist Paul Gaugin.
After revealing four people got it wrong, Lee turned his attention to one of these players – Margaret.
“Thick as two short planks”, Margaret quipped after the spotlight was put on her.
The contestant revealed she’d initially chosen C as her answer – only to change her mind.
When asked by Lee for her reasons behind changing, Margaret replied: “God alone knows, I don’t.”
The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
