The streak of consecutive jackpot wins came to an end yesterday with a whopping 6 wins! :shock:

And you would've been rewarded the Sam amount for that as you would for finding one pointless answer if you made it to the final, which was most likely a £1,000 jackpot to split with whoever your partner is. :roll:

I seriously think the show needs to change the end game payout structure. Here's my idea, which does not at all change the endgame itself but rewards those who come up with more than one pointless answer:

1 pointless answer = £1,000 (NOT a cumulative jackpot; is upped to £2,500 on celebrity pointless)
2 pointless answers = £5,000
3 pointless answers =£10,000

Multiple pointless answers in the final are rare enough that this will hardly affect the payouts. Also, since there wouldn't be a jackpot, they could change the bonus for a pointless answer in the front game to £250 on the spot for the team that gave it.

This is the BBC you know. They couldn't afford to do anything like that. ;)

Yes they can. As I said before, the overall payout will hardly change from this and even some other BBC daytime quiz shows shows had a top prize of £10,000 (Weakest Link, Breakaway and Decimate) and/or give away considerably more than £1,000 a show (Pressure Pad, Perfection and Beat the Brain).

And don't forget about 1000 Heartbeats. That show offers a top prize of £25,000.

Heck, even on The Link - is that show still on? - teams can win in excess of £5,000 if they do well enough.

Seriously, though, the jackpots on some of these daytime game shows are ridiculously dinky. It's like they're stuck in the early 90s or something.

1. 1,000 Heartbeats airs on ITV.

2. The Link is cheap even by BC standards as they make the top amount nearly impossible to win and thus pretty much every winning team leaves with £1,000 or less (and quite often NOTHING).

3. BBC can't offer huge prizes on game shows (except those funded by the National Lottery like Who Dares Wins) as many would complain that their license fee is being given away to total strangers like they did when the Weakest Link first premiered.

Nobody ever won anywhere near £10,000 on Weakest Link though. I think the closest was about £5,000.

Up until the last week of the show, the biggest winner on the daytime version won roughly £5,200.

However, on the 2nd to last programme they had a special quiz show champions special (which included the aforementioned top winner and several Eggheads) where that record was smashed with a £7,850 final prize fund, thanks in part to them having the perfect treble money round for I believe the one and only time in UK weakest link history.

A first in Pointless history today. BOTH teams got the first two questions in the head-to-head round wrong! :shock:

I'm sure it's happened at least once before and at least one of the questions were edited out.

They couldn't even get a right answer on years ending in 00.

I'm pretty sure they didn't win the jackpot then.

£24,750. Can't see it getting that high again. That was before the 3-question final round came in.
