Last night (October 9th 2011) was the eighth episode in series six of All Star Family Fortunes, based on the hit TV series we have all come to know and love ‘Family Fortunes’.
About the show
Hosted by Vernon Kay, two celebrities and their families battle it out to win the top prize of £30,000 for their chosen charity. Each team nominates a member of their family to answer a question in which 100 people were surveyed. The first person to hit their buzzer gets to answer what they think would be the most popular answer would be and if it is not the top answer, it gets passed over to the other contestant.
My thoughts on the show
Battling it out this week to win the top prize was bronzed Adonis Peter Andre and the ever smiling TV presenter Kate Thornton. The show kicks off with each contestant’s family giving some interesting and slightly embarrassing facts for us to all have a laugh about and it did make the celebrity guests more personable.
Kate Thornton and her family were the first to win the top answer and went on to win a two night break as one of the great prizes on offer this week. I did find myself shouting the answers out at the TV and the Thornton clan almost has to pass the question over to the Andre’s.
I did have a good giggle when Vernon and Kate took to the floor and did a short waltz, with the Bolton presenter stumbling around. All Star Family Fortunes is a light hearted show that all the family can watch together. It reminds me of sitting around with my family every Saturday to settle down and have quality family time. By introducing a celebrity version of the original show it keeps it fresh and does give younger viewers something or someone to relate to.
This week the Thornton clan stole the top spot and went on to try and win top prize. The great thing about All Star Family Fortunes is that whilst it is fun to watch and play along, any money that is won goes to charity.
What did you think of All Star Family Fortunes? Tune in next week for more celebrity fun.
