The story
On 5ch’s Nyuusoku VIP board, the weekly quiz event “TV Grand Prix” held its 10th anniversary special. The quizmaster, a regular posting under the fixed handle “Rx,” ran a buzzer-style quiz about TV shows and celebrities starting at 9:24 PM and running past midnight. That same night, the 24-Hour Television telethon was airing, and the thread title notes this was staged as counter-programming against it. Scores were tallied under a three-chance system (1st place: 3pts, 2nd: 2pts, 3rd: 1pt), with regulars trading banter and reminiscing about the livelier VIP board of years past.

Sadly, these days even the "abs threads" (threads so funny they make your abs hurt from laughing) don't properly take off anymore
This is absolutely the question they poured their whole heart into! (?)

Apparently it's not actually a hard no —
I heard it's still considered a somewhat acceptable term to use

When you only join once in a while, you really do forget how to play, huh
No win this time after 8 years away, but that was a great showing.
Let's do this again whenever schedules line up next time
If it's not the other commercial-broadcaster category, then what?
Re: #507 So it wasn't "Gochisousama"… huh
Nodo Jiman is indeed one of the programs
broadcast jointly on radio as well.
But it wasn't the correct answer this time.
That one's actually a question I wrote myself,
with some help from AI!
So I was wondering if it would come up…
and it did!
Re: #517 was correct! Nicely done.
Re: #526 There is a certain pattern to how the questions are worded, so that might be true
Though I doubt they'd line up all three headlines like that
Background and Talking Points
“TV Grand Prix” is a long-running buzzer-quiz tradition on 5ch’s VIP board, hosted periodically by a regular quizmaster under a fixed handle — this installment marks its 10th anniversary. The thread’s title comes from the fact that it ran on a Saturday night overlapping with the 24-Hour Television broadcast, staged as counter-programming against it. The quizmaster also revealed that a weather-map question had been self-written with help from AI, hinting at how the event’s production has evolved over the past decade. At the same time, comments like “these days even the side-splitting threads don’t properly take off anymore” reflect a certain nostalgia among participants for a livelier VIP board of the past. There was also an exchange suggesting a regular participant, “◆MEGANEw1Wc,” was going for a first win in 8 years but fell short — a moment that captures the atmosphere of this long-running regular community. Note that the eventual overall winner and the full results of every question aren’t included in the excerpted portion of the thread covered here.
