Tipping point the quiz game

How is it that in almost all the episodes all the contestants are gingers?

Today all four players are ginger

Is it because Ben has a bit of a ginger hue to his hair?

This is one of those shows, similar to how Deal or No Deal used to be, where they seem to intentionally select all the contesants based on how irritating they are and how they talk about the game as if it's a matter of life or death.

This is exactly what is wrong with subjects in schools. That A Level student will be one of many that give answers like that, kids don't learn about the geography that's probably quite helpful in later life, they learn about rocks and rivers.

True story here.
When my daughter was studying A Level geography she randomly asked me a question one day that went something like this.
"Dad, what's the name of that country in Africa where the Ethiopians come from." :facepalm:

There's probably much better paying jobs our there for people who know about rocks etc than people who can name all the capital cities.
