About the "Who's On Heart" competition

For the past few months the Heart radio stations have been holding the "Who's On Heart" competition. In a nutshell, people have to guess the three celebrities saying the words "who's", "on", and "heart" (a different celebrity says each word) to win cash prizes. The competition has been immensely difficult, and a series of clues have been given to help speed up the process.

At present, only one name has been uncovered; a lady named Katie O'Brien correctly guessed Tina Turner as one of the three and she won £5,000 from her answer. If someone guesses a second question they will win £20,000, and if someone guesses all three they will win £60,000. From what I understand, even though Tina Turner has already been guessed, people still have to say her name to win the £60,000.

With the clues and incentives, about two months ago a list of all the wrong guesses was revealed on the Heart website, and the £50,000 jackpot was increased to £60,000. It was announced this morning on Heart that the prize for guessing a second name was increased from £10,000 to £20,000; in addition, the woman who says "heart" is apparently an actress, the person saying "on" is a man, and Tina Turner says the word "who's". This last clue was a surprise, as nearly everyone assumed "who's" to be said by a man, and the voices were always thought to be two men and one woman, but it is actually two women and one man. However, when my father first heard the three voices he did state that "who's" sounded as though it was being spoken by a woman, and it seems he was right on that.

In reading a few online discussions about the competition I was unsurprised but still disappointed to see that some people are angry/bored that it has gone on for such a lengthy amount of time, have "given up" on it, or just believe that it is rigged. I think it has been a fascinating competition so far, and the recent release of information only makes it all the more interesting. Anger at the competition because no one has identified all three celebrities is both pointless and unnecessary.
