The 1 Percent Club fans were left seething after noticing a significant alteration to the ITV quiz show.
Returning for a fresh series this Monday, the show – presented by Lee Mack – saw contestants tackle a barrage of questions to progress through rounds and vie for the prize pot, with fans eagerly participating from home.
Yet, viewers have spotted a substantial change in the new series that has sparked outrage. The introduction of a revamped accompanying app has drawn ire on social media, as it now allows users to answer questions at a faster pace than the TV contestants, effectively spoiling the sequence of reveals.
One disgruntled viewer lamented: “The app not being linked to the show is a bit s***! What’s the point watching it if you can just finish the questions right away! #The1PercentClub,” while another expressed disappointment: “Aww The app doesn’t play along with the programme like it used to do. You can just whiz through the questions. Done them all already, so don’t need to watch anymore.”
Another shared: “Why isn’t #The1PercentClub app playalong synced with the TV show anymore? You can now play the entire game and find out what all the questions for the episode are before Part 1 has even finished.”
One added: “Is there any point watching #The1PercentClub anymore if you can just blast through all the questions on the app before they are shown on the programme?” as another shared: “Why has the app for #the1percentclub changed? It used to play along live with the show but I’ve already been able to answer the first 3 questions while the first was still in.”
The show’s loyal audience was also puzzled to see the show moved from its regular Saturday evening slot. ITV1 announced an unusual schedule change, revealing on its Twitter account that the series would air each night of the week, leaving fans scratching their heads.
The official account posted a teaser: “A 90% question for you: The 1% Club is usually on Saturday nights (and will be again for S4). But there are also 4 BRAND NEW episodes on @itv this week as well. Are they on: A) Just Monday at 9pm B) Monday to Thursday every night at 9pm? Your 30 secs start now! #the1percentclub.”
Despite the buzz around the new episodes, some viewers were less than happy with the scheduling change. A frustrated tweet read: “This is not the quiz for a weeknight – celebrity chase, who wants to be a millionaire- perfect mid-week quiz. This one is for a Saturday night with alcohol because then we can blame the booze for not understanding the question.”
Another added: “Why have they moved this to a Monday? Much more fun trying to play this after a bottle of red on a Saturday night,” as a third wrote: “Wait, it is Monday ain’t it? New episode of #the1percentclub on telly. I’ve always thought Saturday night formats could draw an audience in the week. But like it matters what I think.”
*The 1 Percent Club will air all this week on ITV1 and ITVX.
