Yes it is a disagrace. However, I don't think it takes a genius to work out what they were on with. I've always thought that they probably pick winners before they finish collecting cash. And anyway the whole thing smacks of a racket, I mean the price of those phonecalls and the fact that you have a very slim chance of winning means that they are just raking in money for old rope. They dont; give much away compared to what they take.
What really winds me up is how EASY the questions are on soem shows, so as to encourage people to phone in. There must be people out there who enter these phone in comps every day, and more than once a day. They coudl easily run up over 100 pounds per week phone bill. They'd eb better off going to bingo - their money will last longer and they will have more chance of winning something. Or havign a bet. Not encouraging gambling, but ths is effectively what this phone in stuff is so gamble smarter.
