    Worst quiz ever

    More suited to kids tv. Awful stilted host. Hands in pockets!! Big yawn.

    Win it AGAIN.

    What a rubbish show. It's the only show l have seen where you have to win the full amount again. Get to the final & have your winnings cut in half & your the winner's.

    Most annoying host ruins the show

    The show would be great to play along to if not for one of the most annoying hosts on TV (only other equally annoying is Ben Sheppard). Adil Ray stands there annoyingly holding his hand out like some kind of professor presenting a powerpoint on string theory and repeats the same exact phrase of "unlucky" whenever a contestant fails to guess their word! Change it up a bit you ANNOYING DONKEY! Another super annoying trait is him coming up with super annoying quips of the words they guess. For example if their guess is the word "Right" this muppet will 100% announce "is this the 'right' answer??" This happens 99% of the time and combined with his donkey like laugh and failed attempts at witty charisma makes it unbearable to watch!

    Another example of the perplexing riddle that is Adil Ray's career

    I cannot for the life of me understand how the heck Adil Ray keeps getting on the tele - unnatural, unfunny, untalented and unlikable making the entire thing unwatchable.

    Lingo

    Another game show hosted by a comedian in the hope it will generate some humour, and another format from another country being desperately repacked to make it try and work over here.

    Neither works well here.
