The 1% Club viewers slam 'worst question in show's history'

Contestants stumped by tricky question

Viewers of The 1% Club have labeled a question posed to contestants as the 'worst question in the show's history' after the latest episode left many scratching their heads. Comedian Lee Mack presented the puzzling question on episode seven of the current series, causing early exits for some participants.

The perplexing question

The question that had viewers in a tizzy was: "Whose mug belongs on the top shelf with the others?" Contestants had to choose between ALF, SUE, MEG, and BEN, with visual clues from mugs underneath displaying words like HAT, LOG, OLD, and ROW. The answer turned out to be ALF, as the handle of the mugs formed a 'C' to create words like CHAT, CLOG, COLD, and CROW.

Viewer reactions

As the show aired, fans took to social media to express their frustration and confusion. Some deemed it the 'most annoying question of the evening,' while others admitted defeat, with one viewer stating, "I don't get it." The tricky question led to 20 contestants crashing out and 18 others using their passes to skip it.

Controversy and fan responses

Viewers of The 1% Club didn't hold back, with some calling it the 'worst performance ever' and labeling the question as 'mad.' Despite the uproar, the show continues to challenge contestants with its unique format.
