Quiz Trippers: My Verdict - If you want it

This project was billed as a road trip with four strangers taking part in nightly quizzes. We were all pre filmed in our everyday lives where I laughed, giggled and generally joined in the spirit of things.

When chosen I thought I was lucky. I'm not so green. I did know that any friction would  be filmed -I was told as much but my god, the editing sword was pretty vicious (to some anyway).

Before transmission I asked how do We/I look. The reply came back and I quote

'' You look like five strangers on a trip''

Little did I know that we'd be used for cheap shots and to be made a mockery of. Well, certainly three of us were.

At no point were we warned about the editing slant and the incessant editing slant at that.

For the record:  We received NO PAY (See comment below). Lost a week of our earnings and I seriously now question the team (TV Crew and Television Centre Team) who I considered to be our friends. Now I realise why they might have been.

So much footage was available 24/7's worth but individuals who weren't even on the trip edited us apart from episode 1 which was o.k to be fair.

I'm left feeling like a fairground freak.

My questions are:
 'What was the aim of this show?'  More importantly 'What were the objectives?' and at what cost to those involved who let's not forget have a life to go back to?

None of us were thick dimwits. All had to score a reasonable number of questions correctly in audition but the voice over/editing gave you an impression otherwise.

I'm all for leg pulling and yes there was clearly friction but there were lots of laughs too. Channel 4 said this was a show with humour in it -where?

I've read unpleasant, personal comments about myself and others on the trip presumably to make themselves look important when they've had nothing to do with the project. I guess you know who you are.

I feel let down by those responsible for producing the show.

My advice:  Don't audition for a second series if there is one unless you are up for a character assassination.

Quiz Trippers: The Power of Editing!

O.K. I knew what potentially was coming but it's amusing how editing labels you combined with the slant of the v/o. Footage 24/7 captured in 23 something minutes means pointed highlights. Most of our day was pretty mundane. Interesting how we've been pigeon holed. I started with a sense of fun which continued on the trip (see what I mean about editing?) we don't see at as yet.
A bit like a pantomime. The good guys and the bad guys and and at times an irritating voice over. Dave Lamb he ain't!

I sincerely hope you get to see the funny bits too xxx

If you put CH4 Quiz Trippers in your search bar you'll see a sneaky peak as to the five road trippers (including me).  Shame it's not filmed to coincide with Bonfire Night as there will be a fair dose of fireworks! Ce la Vie!!

Quiz Trippers - It's Official

All those weeks since those windy...very windy days in Scotland it's great to hear our 'pilot' show over five nights is the start of a series. Everyone worked so hard. The production crew were amazing including 'Cold Dave'.

I am so glad I said 'yes' to taking part. I feel priviledged to be chosen for the first week of shows. Well done everyone!!!
