Rebound (game show)

Rebound is a British game show that has aired on ITV since 17 August 2015 and is presented by Sean Fletcher.

Background

Rebound is one of two summer replacements for The Chase, the other being Freeze Out, both of which were commissioned for 10 episodes. It is fronted by Sean Fletcher, who once described the show as "his dream job" and confessed to putting in sixteen hour days in order to fulfill the commitments of it and Good Morning Britain. It was inspired by the bleep test and first aired on 17 August 2015 on ITV.

Gameplay

Fast Cash

The first round involves the players trying to boost their bank balance. They are each asked three questions, each with four answers. Fletcher takes ten seconds to ask a question, and the contestants have ten seconds to enter their answer during which Fletcher reads the answers. Each question is worth £1,000, and decreases by £100 per second.

Head to Head

In this round, the players play against each other. The person with the most amount of money picks the first opponent - in the event of a tie, whichever player made the most amount of money off the first question picks and in the case that no-one remaining has anything left, whoever was quickest to lock in their incorrect answers picks - and the first category, out of two related options. Each player is handed three lives, and is asked alternating questions; wrong answers or answers not given in time lose lives. The answers will only be registered on the system when the rebound bar is in that contestant's half. When one life is lost, a new category is selected by the winning contestant. This process repeats itself until one player loses all three lives, at which point all their money goes to the winning player. This process repeats itself twice, in total happening three times.

Pomeroy (surname)

Pomeroy or De La Pommeraie is a surname documented from the 11th century. Currently spelled as Pomeroy and the many variations which have occurred over time and geopolitical location. These variations include Pomroy, Pomery, Pumroy, Pummery, Pummeroy, de Pomerai, de Pomeroy, and Pommery.

Etymology

Despite the clearly found words of pomme and roy in the name, meaning "apple" in French and "king" in Old French (French roi), the surname given to Radulphus is not linked with the Old French word roy, but is the common place-name Pommeraye, that means "orchard of apple-trees", Modern French word pommeraie, from pommier "apple-tree" and old suffix -aye, now -aie, meaning "a collection of trees". Originally the suffix -aye was masculine  : -ey, -ay and sometimes -oy. The secondary phonetic shift -ey > -oy is normally typical of Picard and the Eastern dialects of Langue d'oïl, but can sometimes be observed in Normandy.

Radulphus is a latinization of Radulf, that is a common first name in the ducal Normandy. It is rendered with different spellings and variant forms. Radulf is a Franconian variant form of Rodulf, with a short form Ralf. It is sometimes Latinized in the Latin written documents as Radulfus or Radulphus. The variant spelling Rodulf is also used and its short form Rolf. In fact, the Franconian surname translates more probably the Scandinavian first name Hrólfr, which was given to many sons in noble families, due to the fame of Rollo, first Viking count of Rouen. There are other variant forms of the name which are more French Rou[f] and Raoul, and the anglo-norman rendering of Ralph.

Biography

Pomeroy started in mid-1997 in Manhattan, Kansas. Matt Marron and David Fairbanks, friends from college, were interested in starting a band that took the best of underground hip-hop and mixed it with old school funk. Taking their name from a street in Manhattan, the duo traveled west to Los Angeles to record their first demo. After finishing, they brought in Dean Hopkins and Chris Davis to fill out the band. John Etzel played keyboard and electric triangle. The band's first practice was April 1998 with the first show only 2 weeks later. The band won the 1998 Kansas State University battle of the bands competition. In 2003, Etzel departed the band and was replaced by Tyson Leslie, who would provide keyboards, keytar, guitar and vocals.

The band toured for 8 years, mostly playing club shows at college towns in the Midwest while releasing several albums and a DVD. The DVD was recorded at the Blue Note in Columbia, Missouri and released in 2005. The band received top 40 airtime on radio stations across the United States.
