A 'celebrity' version of the chase today featured Natalie Cassidy. I know; a stretch too far indeed. Anyway, I was all set to be unimpressed, and I was suitably rewarded. Sadly for the charity involved, her performance was weaker than I though humanly possible. Her cash-builder round yielded a total of £2000. The two questions she got right were Rio de Janeiro for the host of the games, and Jam for what could go in front of Tart and something else. This from somebody who had claimed in the small talk beforehand that she liked quizes, and was quite good at general knowledge. How the un-mighty fall.
The embarrassment might have (you'd think) toned down her verbal input and attitude for the further input. But no - she was up her arse. Her £2k on the board was added to with offers of £1k for a step lower, and £50k for a step nearer. She went for the grand.
The questions were able to reveal her ongoing weakness, yet she goaded the Beast without just cause. Scraping through with the £1k was deemed an achievement by no one in the studio other than Natalie. Her smugness was nauseating.
3 of the 12 point total were gained by her, with Dave the cook getting the other 9. Obviously they were caught in a minute.
Crap indeed.
