um Mar 2023 8:53am, 14 Mar 2023 7,175 posts	Quote Pin um I thought the numbers walls were good, although I didn't spot the squares. Connections? Some easy ones, some horrible? I'd have gone for the Schulz one straight away (ie after 2) - or is that just an age thing? And also the Where's Wally (because the wording was so odd) after 2. And the super caley go ballistic celtic are atrocious Although my immature pleasure at the result was probably as bad a reaction as the desultory clapping.
larkim Mar 2023 9:01am, 14 Mar 2023 20,542 posts	Quote Pin larkim Some critique on twitter. Alex's response is I was, and indeed am, gracious to (and delighted for!) the winners. That’s literally the last sentence of my tweet above. I also was, and remain, disappointed to lose a fairly close match. I make no apology for showing disappointment under pressure. Hopefully I've not disclosed the results with that. Fortunately not too much outright abuse on Alex's twitter (though obvs there is some). I didn't warm to Alex at all, but I'm glad mainstream (!) quiz shows aren't afraid to put characters like Alex on TV these days, so on balance all good.
