Prudent financial advice
I am currently praying to whatever deity crosses my mind at the time for a favourable editing team at the BBC. Does that count?

Definitely.
You'll need all the help you can get.

I was watching the show last night for the first time since I went on it
Was a bit weird to see the set like that again. I hadn't realised that the camera swoops in behind the contestants, I'd been operating under the impression that as long as I wasn't answering a question I could look as slovenly as I liked

They wouldn't let me :-(
I kept my hands behind my back throughout because they were embarrasingly sweaty, shaky and wringing in that nervous way that I do when I'm really fucking nervous. It appears that in April or May the entire nation will be able to see this.

I look forward to mocking you
I may have to get your phone number and call you to mock you vocally when it is on.

'Twould be my pleasure to endure such verbal mockery
Although you may have to call me before the show airs, I doubt you'll be the only person with this idea

very true
I suggest a conference call

Eugh, I hope, for the sake of Ms Foxtrot, that you don't get equally nervous before dancing competitions.

Well done by the way. Did you get "Which footballer, the first to cost £1 million, scored the winning goal in the 1979 European Cup Final" as the decisive final question?

Sadly not, it was something to do with the Samaritans. I can remember surprisingly few of my questions, one was about the nationality of Murali, another had the answer "ursine", struggling apart from that.

For some reason I was much more nervous taking part in a quiz in front of Anne Robinson, 8 strangers and a few technical people than I ever have been attempting to dance in front of 1,000 people, most of whom are more accomplished than I am

was she mean to you?

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 8 Dec 2010, 9:48, Reply)

I think I did alright against her
She inferred that Norwich is a backwater (fair), had a pop at my ear furniture (expected), said "I assume you don't have a girlfriend" (very much expected). Compared to hanging out on B3ta it was a walk in the park

Did you have to
PUT YOUR BOARD DOWN
(PsychoChomp, Wed 8 Dec 2010, 9:52, Reply)

Yes I did
Much as expected, Anne asked me to demonstrate some Ballroom. I told her it was a partner dance and she refused to dance with me so I got away with it

Thank fuck

did you win?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 8 Dec 2010, 9:28, Reply)

I did indeed, £2,610
Which is why I don't mind the idea of you or anyone else mocking me

that's excellent
good work!

Am struggling to step back from the borders of insufferability

Very kind of you. Really sorry to hear about your unfortunateness of late
