IQ -- 15,000 mts below sea level !!

An atrocious game show (or a quiz show they call it..) on one of the Star channels, which I surely HAVE to blog about..After years of Siddharth Basu and Derek 'O Brien, it was my misfortune that I happened to see this particular 'quiz'

Well here are some excerpts of the questions from the person who conducted the show and the morons who answered the questions…

Host: "This question is regarding the republic day of our country… When is it? "
** All buzzers buzz..**
Participant 1: "August 15th… "
Host: "What?!?!?! "
Participant 1: "Its January…January 26th…Oh.. Sorry sorry… I realized I made a mistake!" (Me: Mistake a?!? Adi paavi.. You changed History!! And YOU should be handed over in exchange for Sarbjeet Singh...)
Host: "Oh good… 20 points to you..!!!!!"


Host: "What is the full form of ENT? "
Participant 2: "Ear Nose….. Tongue, I think…"
(Me: Give me the noose.. I want to hang myself..!!!!!!)
Host: "I think you got the 'Tongue' wrong… Slip of the tongue I think… hee hee… I'll give you time to think…"
Participant 2: "Hmm…Hmm… don’t know.. Give me a clue…."
I pressed the mute button not even wanting to hear any atrocious clue being given for this dumb question! Figured out from the body language that the participant anyway didn’t know the answer..
Turned on the volume again…

Host: "This famous lady who acted in hindi movies in the 70s hosts a show whose name goes like this…"Rendezvous with…."
(Instead of asking such a tough tough question.. He could have as well said Her name has 4 letter… Starts with an 'S' end with an ' I' and has 'I' and 'M' inbetween…!!!!!!! )


Host: "Red Indians have their origin in which continent?"
One participant presses the buzzer...
Participant: "Hmm… India...! "
(Me: Please drag these people out of the show.. Or please tell me that it is a humor kind of a show like what Shekar suman hosts…Don’t tell me that these people actually don’t know..!
Saying that Red indians have their origin in India itself is unstandable.. Then calling India a 'continent' !!!!?!?!?!!?!??!?!)


Host: "Hmm.. I don’t think the questions have been that tough.. Lets c, who wins..."
(Huh!! A bunch of morons and you are going to crown the least of the most dumb people in the country...)


Host: "Who played the role of Salman Khan's brother's girlfriend's mother in the movie 'xyz' "
**Buzzer sounds from all directions***
Participant: (answers..)
Host: "Correct Answer..!!! You won yourself a Gift hamper from Fab India worth Rs 9000/-"
(And I go… What?!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!?!?! At that instant, I lost all my respect for one of my all favourite shops ..Fabindia.. Dunno why.. )

Host: "The winner of todays show gets a TVS Scooty!!!!"
(Me: The one who gets Aamir Khan's onnu vitta chitthapaa's periamma's ponnu correct, will ge the scooty!!!!)

Like an AI system, guess the host/the production crew learnt over time that, to save the 'quality' of the show and do a dhaana dharmam of the prizes given by the sponsors, they need to ask questions according to the participants 'level'...

Then came questions like

Host: "In the Soap 'Kasauti Zindagi ki' who plays the role of…. Blah blah…"
Participant: (answers..)
Host: "Correct answer!! "

Host: "Which directed directed the movie which was the 30th of Some damn actor and also featured..blah blah…."
Participant: (answers..)
Host: Brilliant!!!

In a final tie question,
Host: "Where do eskimos live.. What are their houses called…"
Participant: "Ice houses…"
( As if we thought they live in houses with centralized heating facility!!!!! )
Host: "Theres a specific name to it… "

Question passes to the audience.. And finally one great great soul.. Answers "igloo"
Aah! Finally..But Please… Cant take more...

All the BQC's and MasterMinds I have seen in my life, came crumbling down…
If you have seen a more brilliant exhibition of IQ,.. Please mention…
Phew!
