Impossible (2017)
Lost me when the answer arachnid was not considered the right answer for spider
I love smart game shows...especially Jeopardy in the States...and thought I'd give Impossible a try. Being the first season, I watched for a while though I found Rick Edwards hosting difficult in that he was always shifting his gaze to the cue cards for the simplest dialogue. No doubt that would be rectified in time as he became more confident. I was also disappointing in that only a few of the contestants had decent general knowledge in art, literature, geography, science and the like. Nonetheless, I persisted in watching until, in one of the finals, the question for Anne was something to the effect of the classification of a tarantula. She replied arachnid and it was rejected because a tarantula belonged to spiders and insects!
Not smart!
Bravo to Anne for knowing literature and the Bronte's well in adding to the pot...one of the high spots that made watching of interest. Though she may not have won the grand final (Gerard did and he well deserved it), that lack of care for the correct answer (although a different word than the basic answer on the written card) left me uninterested in watching any more.
