Ep 2. 8 Out of 10 Cats: Big Brother Special
- February 9, 2011
8 Out of 10 Cats is back with a Big Brother special for its 10th season, episode 2! The show is a British comedy panel game that features two teams of comedians, each competing to see who can correctly guess popular survey results. The show is hosted by Jimmy Carr, and the format includes a variety of fast-paced rounds, with humor and topical jokes sprinkled throughout.
The Big Brother special has a twist, as it features a lineup of eight previous Big Brother contestants, split into two teams of four. The red team consists of Alison Hammond, Amanda Brunker, Brian Dowling, and Josie Gibson, while the blue team includes Charlotte Crosby, Joel Dommett, Nikki Grahame, and Spencer Pratt.
The episode begins with an introduction of the contestants and an explanation of the format. The first round of the show is called "What Are You Talking About?", where the teams are shown a picture, and they must come up with a humorous caption for it. The pictures this week include a giant skeleton, a moose, and a sofa. The captions are all hilarious, and it's clear that the contestants have not lost their wit since their time on Big Brother.
The second round is called "Themes," where the teams must come up with as many things related to a given theme as possible. The theme this week is "Things You Might Find in a Celebrity's House." Both teams come up with some funny and unexpected answers, such as "a framed photo of their own face" and "a spinning chair for dramatic effect."
Next up is "Pick of the Polls," where the teams must guess which answer was the most popular response to various survey questions. The questions this week include "What's the most annoying habit?" and "What's the worst place to get stuck?" The answers range from the relatable ("people who chew loudly") to the absurd ("in a lift with Noel Edmonds").
The fourth round is "Believe it or Not," where the teams must guess whether a statement is true or false. The statements this week are all Big Brother related, with some surprising and amusing facts about the show's history.
The final round is "Quickfire Lies," where the contestants must tell quickfire lies about a given topic. The topics this week include "Things I'd Do If I Was Prime Minister" and "Things I Said to Myself in the Mirror This Morning."
Throughout the episode, Jimmy Carr keeps the banter and jokes flowing, and the contestants bring their A-game in terms of humor and wit. Despite the competitive nature of the show, there is a sense of camaraderie among the Big Brother alumni, as they share jokes and memories from their time in the house.
Overall, 8 Out of 10 Cats: Big Brother Special is a fun and lighthearted watch, with plenty of laughs and surprises along the way. Whether you're a fan of Big Brother or just looking for a good laugh, this episode is definitely worth checking out.
