BBC Pointless - Four things wrong with this show.

A couple of years ago I posted these three things that are just wrong with Pointless the popular BBC TV quiz program....just adding a new one.

1) The host Alexander often goes on about how many jackpots have been won latetly as though it makes difference to the cost of running the game. Each day another £1000 is added regardless, it matters only to the contestants if the jackpot is won or not. Alexander has not done this recently (2018).

2) The mark on the descending column is at the 63/100 level and yet is half way down and should be at 50. That's just wrong.

3) In the head to head round the winner is the team with the most points. To keep with the rest of the show the team with the least points should win. Each team should start with two blobs and loose one when a round is won. The first team to lose both blobs wins the round.

4) Can't see the size of the Pointless trophy from the clips shown.

** update ** 

The trophy is quite small

5) A fairer prize distribution would be for the final round contests to get prize fund / N where N is the lowest score from the three answers given. If finalists get a pointless answer then Prize fund/0 gives them twice the jackpot, 1 point gives them the whole jackpot. If say 5 is the lowest score then prise/5 is given.
