I'm not usually a fan of shows failing to replace departing hosts and just sticking with guest hosts but actually think it has worked quite well for Pointless.

Not really a departed host though is it, its just like having someone different in dictionary corner on Countdown.

Id say it was a spoiler as that game mechanic can only be played out if there is a certain ending to the game but I'm happy to agree to disagree and I'm sure I will still enjoy stripping the show over the next 9 nights

Limitless Win is more than the usual 5 episodes this time (13 eps recorded to be split apparently) and "series 3" ep 8 ends Feb 24th (according to LW wiki), which is when I had seen Takeaway starting?

An interesting article from The Guardian on the changing nature of TV cash prize money.

The Guardian article made my eyes roll. I don't think the prizes on gameshows are that stingy and TBH if you're applying for shows for monetary reasons then it's not the right mindset.
Most people who go on a gameshow or any sort of show with a cash prize won't win and the majority of people who apply and go on, winning money isn't the sole reason they applied,

I think it depends on the show and the stakes. I’m sure people who go on something like Eggheads or even the Chase it probably that bothered about winning prize money. Someone who gets to FFF on Millionaire is probably very keen to win big money, particularly in the original era when people had to pay to get on and it became a bit of an industry getting on. I think someone who gets on Deal or No Deal would probably be set on having a cash injection of at least a few grand too.
