So I saw for myself
And I have to say... Whatever.
Bill Bailey, Nina Conti, and Sean Lock certainly brought the facts on, but it was a first in the series that caused comments to slam the new panelist, why though? She is a ventriloquist.
What's the problem with that? Well I was asking myself the same question. I was enlightened, and I thought of her as more of an "Expert" because of the ventriloquist question that they had. I was more surprised at the lack of forfeits.
So Worst Episode ever- Hardly, Ruined Forever- Far From it. Nina and Gram are not the worst thing to happen to QI, so take the stick out of your bum and read this review. Even if you leave now, your visit is still logged in my records so I don't give a damn.
Bill Bailey- One of my favorites in this episode. He was amazing as always, playing with the chief puppet, and his interactions with Gram. The "pussy-hound" Argument was what sent me up in stitches. Managed to get the only forfeit in the entire episode by saying that Tim Berners-Lee was the inventor of the internet, and getting last place with -3
Alan Davis- Oh my gossness, he seemed to be on fire tonight! Not setting off the Klaxon, and making his answers seem intelligent was great. I believe he got only 1 point for breaking his puppet. Is it me, or is he great at the nobody knows question?
Sean Lock- Seemed to me to be the resident Smart-Ass and Fry annoyance. The water grenade is an example. Just saying to was a bottle to put stuff in seemed to get on Stephan's nerves. Also had a Lady Gaga Comment. Still, he was great and his smartassness seemed to be the reason for his 3
Nina Conti- This is her first appearance on the show. I like her better than say Rory and that one Yankee in the G-Animals, and the ventriloquist question they had made me believe that she was on there to be an expert. Gram seems to be the puppet she is known for, and the fact that she looks at Gram at times and wonders why she isn't saying anything would be prof that ventriloquists are allowed to be crazy. Gram gets 4 points and Nina has 5.
Overall- a great attempt at something new, but did it work? In my eyes, it could be a lot worse, I imagined that if see didn't bring one of her puppets on the show, everyone would complain about that. It's like going to a Jeff Dunham show and it's just him without his puppets. You would be pissed. So yes, stop complaining about Nina, and let us wonder why Alan is so good at the nobody knows questions....
Forfeits- Seems like Stephan tried a double bluff because Tim Berners-Lee has been mention on the show as the inventor of the world wide web, sadly for Bill, that is not the same thing as the internet...
XL- They cut out a lot of interesting facts, why eggs and bacon were popular, the only forfeit for example. It is a lot better that is for sure.
Funny pictures- Enjoy Bill breaking the buzzer and Alan Breaking his puppet. It seems like they cannot have anything nice on the set. (Sorry they are so bloody uneven ><)

My Last thoughts- This seemed to be a love it or hate it episode. I think Nina should come on one last time. It's something on should remember that what she does is very hard to do. It didn't really work as well as other forms of comedy on a panel show, but this episode will always be very interesting (and Funny) to me.
See you all next Time on the Comedy Stars Blog!
