Chris has done it again! 5 points 2 times in a row in 2 episodes, impressive! (4x08 Pugachev's cobra)

[@Mr1930s]

He's done it again at a Series 15 special.

[@jamiegagnon6390]

But it is not just his accomplishment; his teammates have been willing to defer to his knowledge, where other teams have failed to support the guy/gal with the goods in order to confirm...

[@HappyLooter]

"404: Not found" was free though. Problem with Only Connect is that some questions are too easy.

[@vonriel1822]

@@HappyLooter They're easy for us terminally online folks. How common do you really think internet error codes are, that a random person would cue in to the answer after just '401: Unauthorized'?

[@zolobataricus]

@@vonriel1822 The problem is that it is a five-or-nothing question. If you know your status codes you get 5 points. If you don't you get 0 points. I think the question would have been more fair if they removed the numbers and only had "Unauthorized" ... "Not found".

[@exerciserelax8719]

I love it when I get one that neither team can figure out! I feel like a genius for a minute.

[@SunnyLyngdoh]

The 401 connect proved decisive in the end. Bit of a shame, really; I thought it was too easy, especially for a QF.

[@Xeotroid]

If they'd get it at 3 points, then the ending would have been tied. Any idea what happens when the scores are tied at the end?

[@ArneZiegfeld]

@@Xeotroid In that case one last missing-vowels-clue is shown without a time limit that only the captains are allowed to answer. Who answers first, wins. It has happened one or two times before.

[@Intrspace]

Wasn't this episode recorded in like 2010 though? Not that many people on the internet back then. Yes, it was easy, but the In-laws had some easy clues as well

[@sophitsa79]

Could also argue that not going with 'gardeners' as the connection of the last group from the wall cost the game

[@TheSwamper]

That question was incredibly easy for a semi-finals game.

[@berlvid]

Imagine getting 30 points and still losing. Very impressive teams!

[@nicolasojedamora]

I don't know why i got here, english is not my native language, i know very little of England history but i can't stop watching this, she's so witty and charming and the difficult of this questions is exquisite, thank you, yutube algorithm

Victoria Coren: you could get 5 points if you get the answer after one clue, but you won't Chris Quinn: hold my ale

[@rishiesrivastava4705]

I really like the Alesmen's matching pink shirts and bowties

[@solenix]

mark kerr got some humor.. avoiding choosing water and also "[the sauces] all taste very nice" lol

[@x0stardust-x2e]

Then ending up with water for the connecting wall round, very funny.

[@pjabrony8280]

If the in-laws had gotten that gardener group, they would have taken it.

[@gpaderx6105]

and If the 401 connect question was different and a little hard for the Alesman (because 404 was very easy to figure it ou), the in-laws will be the winner.

[@andrewkiwi100]

27:39 "Straya English"

[@jamiegagnon6390]

I liked that the Alesmen were willing to go with Chris' answer. So many teams have done themselves out of points and even the chance to win by using the silly strategy of asking for one more clue 'just to confirm' what they already believe. Taking the shot when you believe you know has a high potential for gain and only a small risk. I started from the very beginning and have been bingeing along and that has been the thing that bothered me most, with teams that enter the same four tiles repeatedly on the wall being my second complaint. Some teams have entered the exact same tiles as many as four times...

[@Person01234]

Except that a lot of teams have also guessed early and then been redirected by clue 3. It makes sense to grab an extra clue if you aren't sure of your connection. It can be worth a punt sometimes but it's probably much easier to lose all points and give the opposing team a point by guessing wrong than to get the extra 1 point by guessing right. I do like that the Alesmen are willing to go balls in and just go for it though.

[@georgelloydgonzalez]

I bet the Alesmen were kinda disappointed that she didn't ask about their bowties

[@roosta141]

If I can a 5 pointer, the question is definitely too easy. For a quarter final too 👀

[@CurveTheRain]

6:38 Arse of Bass?

[@jonheal1523]

I was in the In-Laws team - Ace of Bass were always known as Arse of Bass by me, Penny and Jason. I think it's a Collins and Maconie gag originally.

[@headrockbeats]

This is the second time in a row that Chris Quinn has given a 5-point answer. On the other hand, I also knew the answers to both questions on the first clue, which means they weren't actually hard questions. :/

[@TomWGuitar]

The question in this round may not have been so difficult, but his first 5 pointer for aerobatic manoeuvres would certainly prove challenging for many people.

[@budderbrinejr]

@@TomWGuitar Yes, especially since that was a first round question. In the second round it's easier to get the 5 points because you know the hint has to be apart of a sequence.

[@jamiegagnon6390]

@@TomWGuitar But if you knew what it was, the connection was given away.

[@Person01234]

​@@jamiegagnon6390 Not at all. There are many different possibilities for any connection. Having a punt on the 5 pointer is always a risk.

Awesome game. The Alesman getting another 5-pointer as well!

[@RyszardPoster27]

[spoiler] I was cheering for in-laws. Their opponents deserved the victory though.

[@stromming1465]

alesmen is the perfect team, that guy knew 404 and pugachev's cobra!

[@funkychilldude]

Pugachev’s was pretty amazing, as he explained he only read about it from the random button on Wikipedia. But the 404 one was fairly easy. I didn’t get it as fast as they did, but I was right on their heels and normally I am way far behind the teams.

[@Dexaan]

*happy Bob Ross noises*

[@EdgeRatedR007]

13:57 that question is ridiculous.

[@TomWGuitar]

Exactly what I thought, scrolled down to see if anyone else had said so after I heard it.

[@exerciserelax8719]

I thought it was pretty clever. I'm definitely no genius but I was able to figure it out, I think because I write songs so I'm used to analyzing the rhythms of words.

[@vulliez]

You can only get it after 3 clues. So it’s worth just 1 point.

[@mmilcz833]

There is a surprising number of creatures that have come up over the course of this game show that I learned in Animal Crossing (since I’m not from an English speaking country and never had the chance to learn the names of those animals)

[@bowlchamps37]

Bob Ross got me one point :D

[@heybisiheybisi842]

Hindsight bias aside, the In-Laws captain threw away 3 points on two occasions that his teammate got the right answer: first on the Penny Lane question and second on the gardener answer. He did make good clutch calls and do well on Round 4.

[@funkychilldude]

Well they got the lyric wrong in Penny Lane regardless. So if they buzzed in after the first clue it wouldn’t have gotten them any more clues because of the mistake anyway. And with the gardeners one, they came up with a pretty good alternative link so you can’t blame them. The idea of them being gardeners was only touched on for a brief moment.

[@alexandergrant2420]

25:49 is he saying 'a' view, or 'the' view from the bridge?

[@Sensabaugh]

Embarrassed to have got the Norwich set.

[@baskenmannzwei1234]

I love this show, but it's very england related. It's a british quiz show of course, but still.

[@aliyaist]

Why wasn't the playing-card question done as a sequence puzzle? It would have been more awesome.

[@JeremiCzarnecki]

Probably because they would have been too easy to guess with either Queen as second or Jack Johnson as first, or rather that the following clues would have not made guessing any easier as they should - although I have absolutely no idea who Jack Johnson is, but I guess the powers that be decided that be thought that the average quizzer has.

[@Yewtewba]

Did they seriously call "Ace of Base" "Arse of Bass", as in the fish? lmao

[@ProuvaireJean]

25:45 The answer was "A View from the Bridge", but he said "THE View from the Bridge". It should not have been allowed given that every consonant counts in this round. Great play by the way.

[@rhodriowen4228]

He quite clearly says 'A View from the Bridge' though...

[@jetkirby]

I feel like in the quarter finals she shouldn't have taken the answer without the prefix 1st: barber showing photographs, sometimes they get away with ignoring the number part of the clue but especially after mentioning how specific they want answers to be in the quarter final and to have both teams ignore the number scheme neither team deserved that one

[@dianefields6056]

5 = hundred and seventeen should have been given. Number of Es.

[@man_eating_monkey]

You can’t just have “hundred” on its own. “One hundred and eleven” would work for 5 Es.

[@danteuribe2179]

I love Only Connect but... Really?! They classified Langue d'Oc as a dialect?! Ugh

[@kovalnick434]

Very unfair judgment in the end of 2nd round - it is not PAGE Not Found but just Not Found and this answer was accepted, but the answer about barber of the other team, similarly with one wrong word, was not

[@kovalnick434]

So, so, so unfair. Gutted for the misjudged team, they were playing better by a margin

[@man_eating_monkey]

From Wikipedia… “In computer network communications, the HTTP 404, 404 not found, 404, 404 error, page not found, or file not found error message is a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) standard response code, to indicate that the browser was able to communicate with a given server, but the server could not find what was requested.”

[@ActionPactCinema]

The only time a question is answered with just the first clue is when the clue has 2 or more parts within itself. "401 + unauthorized." In another episode it was "red=680" for monopoly totals. It's just impossible without that. "Stephen" could just be anything. The format of the show is just kinda silly because of that. but over-all still entertaining.

[@acasfs001]

Actually in the privious episode with the team on the left they got 5 points with one question of the first round. In that case the team leader asked if he was certain and the guy said that it was to specific to be anything else. That one wasn't a two part answer

[@Person01234]

@@acasfs001 The clue was "Pugachev's cobra". @OP There certainly are questions that are "easier" to get fast, but that's why the teams get to pick which cards they take and games are rarely determined by a single question.
