Pointless viewers left baffled by contestant’s VERY confusing answer
POINTLESS continued this evening with a brand new collection of players ready to take on the competition for some prize money - but one of the contestant’s answers left viewers utterly enraged.
Pointless: Contestant answers ‘The Godfather’ question WRONG
Pointless has a varied collection of questions throughout its showtime.
This evening the game delved into such subjects as art, film, and literature.
On films from literature, the teams were asked to name the films whose initials were displayed on screen, with just their actors and release date visible.
And although it seemed like a simple task for most, one player stumbled as she forgot a classic film’s name.
One of the contestants, Rachel, decided to guess on one of the answers - TG - to which she said it was: “The Gangster.”
Unfortunately for Rachel the answer was wrong, as the correct response was in fact “The Godfather” - starring Al Pacino.
This even resulted in Rachel and her partner being removed from the show, due to their high score.
However fans were more furious about the answer itself, as they began hitting out on Twitter.
One furious Pointless fan tweeted: “Someone on #pointless just thought The Godfather was actually called The Gangster.”
Another said: “The gangster? #pointless.”
While a third chimed in to say: “#pointless the gangster is just a precious answer.”
One more fan simply asked: “#pointless the gangster?”
Luckily for viewers, that seemed to be the only infuriating answer of the evening, as the show quickly moved on.
It has been a tough week for Pointless, as yesterday saw Alexander Armstrong hitting out at the show, and demanding a restart to the quiz.
During the game Richard Armstrong explained: “On the board, we’re going to show you seven sets of three codes and they’re all the airport codes for airports in the same country.”
But it seemed as if the explanation wasn’t good enough, as Jack and Joe were sent home in the first round.
This was the second day in a row the pair were sent home in round one, leaving Alexander a little sad.
He exclaimed: “So, at the end of our first round, we have to say…Aw, Jack and Joe!
“Should we just re-do? Let’s do another game.”
Pointless airs weekdays at 5.15pm on BBC One.
