Viewers outraged by the 'simple' question of the show's finale

According to The Sun: Fans of the '1% Club' were left disappointed by the final question, which many considered to be 'the easiest of all.' Three contestants fought for a share of the prize fund of £93,000.

The contestants decided to answer the final question instead of taking a smaller amount of money. The show's host, comedian Lee Mack, witnessed a furious reaction on social media when the episode aired.

Viewers began actively discussing the difficulty of the final question, claiming it was too simple. The question was: “Look at the image below. At the start, LLL=A, and RRR=H. What word represents the next: LLR, LLL, LRR, RRL, RRL.”

On platform X, one viewer noted:

“This was the simplest question in 1% history!”

Another added:

“I believe the 1% question was easier than the 5% question today.”

However, not all viewers were confident in their abilities. One admitted:

“I didn’t even understand the 1% question, let alone the answer.”

The correct answer was the word 'BADGE'. All three contestants answered correctly and received £31,000 each.

The show's host Lee Mack told one of the winners:

“I would certainly like to remind our priest that money can't buy happiness.”

The priest jokingly replied:

“No, but it can buy a better class of sadness.”

About the show

This award-winning NTA show differs from other formats in that it does not test contestants on general knowledge. Instead, 100 participants go through selection, solving seemingly complex puzzles based on thinking skills, logic, and common sense.

The '1% Club' show continues to air on ITV1 and is available for viewing on ITVX.

The discussions surrounding the latest episode of the '1% Club' demonstrate the importance of maintaining a balance between the complexity of questions and engaging the audience. The show not only entertains but also prompts viewers to think, and fan reactions indicate their desire to see new challenges.
