Tonight sees the Grand Final of Fifteen to One and a wide range of familiar name from the world of quizzing it should be one of the TV quizzing highlights of the year!
Predicting anything is too difficult given the format and the tendency for the show to throw in complete "stoppers" at random times but I am expecting a very high standard this evening and the final showdown should be superb!
Some of the names taking part you may recognise -
Mark Grant is one of the highest ranked quizzers in the country and has appeared on a vast array of shows including Mastermind Finals and Cleverdicks. A few weeks ago he won Brain of Britain. Iwan Thomas goes into the final at the top of the leaderboard and is also a former Brain of Britain and a high ranking UK Quizzer. Gary Grant is a Mastermind champion, Brain of Britain Semi Finalist and Only Connect Runner Up. Throw into the mix as well David Stainer, unbeaten on Only Connect and one of the highest ranked quizzers in the country. Nic Mortimer too is a regular on the UK circuit and played a very solid game in the very first episode of this series.
On a personal level I have quizzed alongside Martin Pampel in buzzer quizzes you may have seen on here over the past few years so will be hoping he does well and Dave McBryan, one of Irelands top ranked players, runs an excellent pub quiz up in Edinburgh which I attended last summer. Rachel Neiman has been on many shows over the years....in my case she will be on the opposing team against me on Only Connect Monday and was in my heat on Brain of Britain this year.
Apologies to anyone else to whom I have done a disservice and good luck to all taking part.
Should be one hell of a final!
