dan cake Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Not watched this for decades but Farah wins at 50/1 and Joshua the 1/7 favourite finishes outside the top 3, wonder what the bookies made of that (not a lot being the obvious answer) Unusual for them to get it so wrong Edited December 18, 2017 by dan cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McTeeko Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Farah - Famous for the shitiest celebration ever. Joshua - Boxer. No idea what weight or anything. Hamilton - pumped a Pussycat Doll. Froome - recently found-out drugs cheat. Kane - wank who scored at Hampden. The rest. Absolutely not a clue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on 8, but I only recognise the name Adam peaty, I’m guessing swimmer, but possibly gymnast... I only know Johnny peacock from strictly and chat show appearances, paralympian, but no idea what sport. I vaguely remember a spell where there were some unexpected results on big brother and there was suspicions of some sort of gambling fix of the telephone vote. Not sure if that was what the OP was suggesting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I must add the only reason I first noticed Mo Farah was when he won a gold medal and he and his missus were having a ding dong right after it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 2 on the list I definitely don't know, Jonathan Rae and Anya Shrubsole. I've heard the name Bianca Walden but not sure what she does. Maybe judo or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
