[@olivergallimore3490]

The heated discussion on whether or not Polly put the kettle on is why this is the best thing on KZbin.

[@paulboswell]

When you think about it, there are actually quite a few names where you can add a letter to get a country. In addition to Cameron, Nige and Dominic: (G)Reece Shearsmith - actor/writer Miley Cy(P)rus - singer Franc(E) Ross - actor Per(U) Frandsen - footballer Juan Ma(L)ta - footballer Tony Ben(I)n - politician Joseph (U)K. - character in 'The Trial' (M)Ali Carter - snooker player (O)Man Friday - character in 'Robinson Crusoe' Glen Chin(A) - actor A Fish Called (R)Wanda - character in film of same name Georgi(A) Zhukov - Marshal of the Soviet Union in WW2 (G)Hana Mandlikova - tennis player (K)Enya - musician Bruno Martins Indi(A) - footballer Ira(N/Q) Gershwin - musician German(Y) Burgos - footballer / football manager Honorable mentions: Dan Marino is SO CLOSE to having both names form a country, if only you could replace rather than insert a letter. Annoying. Gabo(N) was the nickname for author Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Probably a bit tenuous. T-(S)Pain? Feels like a stretch.

[@jess228]

Masterful use of 'name another' from Horne, with the long distance runner shenanigans. Nice try by Key, though.

[@MalcolmPowder]

I feel there is mileage in that tactic. Come prepared with a couple of really obscure actors or footballers, one for the category and one for the name another. Then sit back and wait for the cash to come in.

[@mattbroughton4940]

@@MalcolmPowder yeah that would be nice for a 'time on the ball but a little cheeky' style of play, very continental. It would get wrecked in a high press though, depends on how much energy the others had.

Should have gone for Grete Waitz for name another.

[@carrots1550]

When Horne said his country one and struggled so much to name another I thought "there's no way this is ever going to be a relevant category". And then very next turn, bam! Dominica. Top stuff.

[@danielp6984]

Key! It's like following an underdog team that only scores own goals.

[@moe_dk]

[@danstone6871]

Exactly, half way through thinking ‘Don’t mess this up’ , they mess up. Like Fulham routinely missing penalties. It’s the hope that kills you. And not being aware of Dominica.

[@bazh6041]

I don't want to step on anyone's monkey, but I've had my doubts about Watson's play this set.... all put to rest after this absolute classic though. Possibly the best single sequence of play in the history of the game. Stunning. Absolutely gutted for Key's early exit.... As Horne struggled to Name Another I wondered if there even was another name to be caught out by that category - having one come up immidiately from nowhere was like being attacked by a red T-Rex. Nonetheless, set up the two way duel for the ages, so a worthy sacrifice. Another great set, when you think about it. Got faith in Key to level it up in the 3rd.

[@robertpaterson130]

Have you ever thought about going pro with No More Jockeys punditry? This is some fantastic analysis.

[@Lastielion]

It's a classic Aussie post dinner Friday night parlour game.

[@drw23]

The first category is clearly "No more people who do what Ingrid Christiansen does" and not "No more long distance runners" as the pop up shows. This changes the whole game. I bet she does all sorts of stuff.

[@Luigiman-rc9fi]

Having the time limit definitely makes the game more interesting as a competition, but I would say I also preferred the games without the time limit for the casual chat in between names and the more casual feel makes it more entertaining. I think add in the time limit for set point matches or any matches with significance. At the very least, keep in some casual games.

[@Izzno]

I think Horne was preoccupied with figuring out if Key was in fact scared by the jumper, cost him precious thinking moments in the later part of the game.

[@davidmurphy8354]

Am I the only person upset that Key had no reaction to Alex's jumper?

[@Jobewiggle]

Probably not as upset as Alex. He’s probably gone and burnt it in protest of Tim not acknowledging it

[@mrjamesbudd]

it was just surnames!! justice for key!

[@PaulHickford]

Suggestion: give each player a total thinking time for all their turns, maybe about 10 minutes each, like a chess clock? Quick thinking in early rounds saves time for later rounds at the risk of an early rushed mistake.

[@dfluff]

Interesting you should say this. In the early incarnation of the game (called No More Women, two player game, filmed as KZbin content to accompany the BBC4 show We Need Answers, sadly no longer on line) a chess clock was used, and made for a shorter, more tense game! I think I prefer these longer games, although maybe there's room for both.

[@ChrisET]

An absolute shambles. Surname-gate will hang over this Set 2 result for a long time. Horne and Watto need to take long hard look at themselves.

[@Peteroranje]

At least there could have been some clemency shown, so early on in the game.

when you think about it, Key should be requesting external adjudication for Set 3 at this point. he's let Watto and especially Horne screw him on too many decisions, it's throwing the whole sport into disrepute.

[@gladtobeangry]

Japp Stam would probably prefer being spelled Jaap Stam. Other than that, no notes. I could have a go at Key for going with a Dominic straight after the countries category, but I think he's just playing a shrewd game here. He's setting up a very elaborate trap, lulling Horne and Watto into a false sense of superiority. Then, when he's two sets down against both of them and 5 games behind, he'll pounce, and they'll be so bamboozled by his sudden burst of form that he can just ride that wave all the way to victory like a latter-day Steffi Graf. I mean, he'd better, or my longshot bet is not going to pay off. Go on Tim! Go on!

[@terrynutkins0]
