My son Kris was on an episode against the Governess, he was offered $60K but took his his $10 k to the final playoff with one other contestant, they had $26K between them to share, but the Governess was just too good in the final chase.
Cheers, Mario

Then they bring out the Australian version with that complete whackjob Andrew O'Keefe.

He doesn't shut up.
It's all about him.
He does 'accents' when asking questions (but shouldn't)
His inflection in speech is all over the place.
He is WAY over the top.
He says stupid **** a lot, and (unlike the UK one) doesn't let the "chasers" have much of a say.

****s me to tears.

Whatever he is on he needs more, or less, of it.

Have to agree, O'Keefe spends too much time posing for the camera and talks too fast when asking questions, with another compere the Aussie version would be very good.

I've heard on the grape vine Andrew is up for a drink or two.
Guess we should not count you in, reading between the lines your not in the fan club.

I reckon they do that to him on purpose.

In Australia, if Andrew displayed such a dirty purile mind, the many people who just want to object and complain would be inundating the Telecommunications Ombudsmen.

that's the first time I've seen the governess smile!

Yes Vlad, top show, kids love it. Pity about the Australian host...but we still watch.

Afraid I can't bring myself to watch anything with that strutting little turkey O'Keefe in it. So, unfortunately I don't know whether it's an otherwise decent show or not.
