Only Connect - Champions vs Champions
After a huge spate of quiz shows tonight, what better way to end than with Only Connect. Perhaps the finest and most enjoyable Quiz Show on TV at present and not only that, but this was a Only Connect special with the only two undefeated teams in Only Connect history facing each other in what was a Champions vs Champions match. The fact that the BBC are airing such Only Connect specials of this nature shows how popular and well thought of the show has become, and I am sure Victoria Coren and the Only Connect team will be with us for some time yet.
Anyway, the teams involved in this Only Connect special were The Crossworders vs The Epicureans. Both teams have never previously lost on the show so the question setters were bound to come up with something extra special and taxing for this show.
Neither team could identify the tough opening connection of inventions that occurred at YMCA's. Nice to hear a bit of The Smiths in the music round. The Crossworders managed to steal it from the Epicureans to take an early lead, the standard of questions was high indeed. The Crossworders were still in the lead after another tough second round. Brilliant question on the colours in the Only Connect wall......Coren's reaction was priceless. Crossworders were 8-2 up at this point.
Onto Only Connects prize feature.....the Wall. The Epicureans managed to connect two on a very tough wall apart from the first connection. I was happy to get a connection that the Crossworders didn't see originally regarding the TV Comedies. They managed to solve the wall and only failed on the one connection I knew :)
15-7 to the Crossworders at this point and in the final round the Epicureans managed to dominate the final round finishing on 14 but the Crossworders were one point ahead on 15 to take the Champions of Champions title.
Next week sees another Only Connect special in this run as a team of Mastermind Champions meet The Crossworders in what is sure to be some more excellent TV Quizzing!
