Yesterday on Channel One started the winter series of games of the intellectual club “What? Where? When? ". Teams Rovshan Askerova, Elena Potanina and Andrey Kozlov fought in the first game with TV viewers. The incident occurred after experts in the elite club, Alexander Druz and Andrey Kozlov, supported the host, who questioned the honesty of one of the club members.
The fact is that presenter Boris Kryuk noticed how Kim Galachyan nods in response to the latest version voiced by connoisseurs. Kim was removed from the hall, but the answer was not counted. The team of Elena Potanina sat down at the table, which, as a result, won the game. Askerov and other experts claimed that they did not see Galachyan's nod. Then Boris Kryuk asked Alexander Druz and Andrey Kozlov what to do in this situation. The masters said: Rovshan Askerov's team must give way to rivals. After that, Potanina's team won, and the offended Askerov refused to shake hands with her.
“Alexander Abramovich (Druz) acted absolutely disgustingly in this situation, who from this moment on does not exist for me either as a person or as a master. This is meanness. He made the decision not at all as a master, but as a person who does not love me. Therefore, I will never ask this person for tips in my life. What he did is meanness and meanness. For me, he is not a master, he is nobody. It's just that this "person" doesn't exist. He is a nonentity,” Rovshan Askerov commented on the situation after the game.
At the table "What? Where? When?" Rovshan Askerov's team ( Anastasia Shutova,Inna Semenova, Ekaterina Mereminskaya,Alena Blinova, Natalya Kulikova)
It should be noted that relations between Rovshan Askerov and Alexander Druz heated up last spring, when Druz accused Askerov of “putting his reputation on the table so that his team would win”. When asked by a journalist whether Rovshan cares about the opinion of Alexander Druz, he replied: Alexander Abramovich has no reputation at all, and he absolutely does not care. The fact is that in the game of the spring series last year, when Askerov's team was at the table, the correct answer to the question sounded at the table, but the captain decided to answer himself, and the point was lost, although then the team of experts managed to win back.
By the way, Rovshan Askerov himself wrote his first question for experts “What? Where? When? when he was only 10 years old. True, then Ravshan's question did not play out, but in November 1998 Askerov played his first game in an elite club. According to the expert, the 4:6 defeat that his team then suffered taught a lot, but above all, the ability to take a hit.
Rovshan is famous in “What? Where? When?" not only with brilliant answers and an excellent game, but also with an explosive temperament. Many times during the game, Rovshan lost his temper, quarreled with other members of the club, as well as with the TV presenter of the intellectual game. At one of the games, the connoisseur answered a question before the discussion time was announced. And the answer was not counted, Rovshan was very upset, but according to the rules of the game, before the start of the signal, the team captain must announce that the answer will be early, and then the expert has the right to answer. Rovshan then accepted all the accusations and the team calmly ended the game with the victory of experts.
Rovshan Askerov insulted Alexander Druz after losing his team in “What? Where? When?"
Experts of the club “What? Where? When?" Rovshan Askerov and Alexander Druz quarreled during the game. On November 19, the teams of Askerov and Elena Potanina competed with each other.
After Elena's team did not answer, Askerov and his experts sat down at the table. During the discussion, host Boris Kryuk noticed that after the correct version was heard at the table, expert Kim Galachan (husband of Anastasia Shutova sitting at the table) began to nod in the hall.
The presenter regarded Galachan's behavior as a hint and removed the player from the hall. When Hook turned to the masters with the question of what to do with Askerov's team. Alexander Druz said that since the viewers got a point, Askerov and his experts should give way to Potanina's team.
Since the point is not defended and the team lost, it leaves its place and concedes to the other teamAlexandr Druz
Druz's opinion was supported by another master, Andrei Kozlov, and Askerov's team had to leave the table. As a result, the team of Elena Potanina won, and Askerov and his experts will not be able to play until 2019.
After the end of the game, Rovshan did not shake hands with Elena Potanina, who greeted him, and said that Alexander Druz no longer existed for him. Friends and Askerov have long been in a conflict relationship, Rovshan took Alexander's behavior as a personal revenge.
Alexander Abramovich acted disgustingly, and from that moment on, for me, he does not exist either as a person or as a master. This is meanness, what he is doing Rovshan Askerov
A resonant case on a TV program beloved since childhood is actively discussed in social networks, the name "Askerov" has entered the trends of the Russian-language Twitter. Most viewers believe that host Boris Kryuk and master Alexander Druz are right. 
On Channel One, the winter series of games of the intellectual club “What? Where? When?". Three teams at once - Rovshan Askerov, Elena Potanina and Andrey Kozlov - fought in the first game with viewers. However, while Askerov's team was answering a question, Boris Kryuk, the host of the club, noticed that one of the spectators, Kim Galachyan, nodded after hearing the correct version of the experts. Askerov and his colleagues claimed that they did not see Galachyan's nod, and even more so did not expect to receive a hint from him. Boris Kryus asked the rest of the audience what they thought was right. The master of the club, Alexander Druz, replied to the “master of ceremonies” that he should not count the answer of the Askerov team. The team of Tatyana Potanina sat down at the table, having won this game.

After the game, the wounded Askerov said that Druz had acted meanly. The connoisseur is sure that the master's answer was influenced by his personal attitude towards him.

He made the decision not at all as a master, but as a person who does not love me. Therefore, I will never ask this person for tips in my life. What he did is meanness, baseness. For me, he is not a master, he is nobody. This person just doesn't exist. Now it's final, he's a nonentity.
Askerov and Friends are old enemies. A year ago, Alexander Druz quarreled with Rovshan Askerov after the first game of the spring series because of the issue of tomatoes. The audience was divided into two camps: one half decided that Askerov's team should be awarded one point, while the other, on the contrary, considered her answer incorrect.

After this incident, Druz stated that Askerov was not afraid to risk his reputation for the sake of the result. According to Alexander, Rovshan "lost his reputation in front of millions of viewers." In turn, Askerov recalled a case from the 90s when his opponent allegedly changed his answer in order to get a point.
Shekemov RuslanAlexander Friends, go to hell! I can say it harder. I am not at all concerned about the opinion of master Alexander Abramovich Druz about my reputation. Because my opinion about his reputation is that he has no reputation at all.
In 2015, Askerov quarreled with another expert - Maxim Potashev. Intellectuals quarreled on Facebook over the rules and prestige of the so-called sports ChGK - a version of the game played not on Channel One, but in local leagues with a large number of participating teams. Askerov stated, the real “What? Where? When?" only happens live. The connoisseur called all other versions of it "a miserable ersatz and an attempt to replace butter with margarine."

Maxim Potashev is on the board of the international association of clubs “What? Where? When?" and took criticism negatively. True, Potashev did not argue his position: he simply scolded Askerov.
- Rovshan Askerov - historian, TV presenter, one of the experts in the popular TV game “What? Where? When?". On July 2, 2017, Askerov's team set a kind of anti-record for the Club of Experts, without answering a single question and losing with a score of 0:6.
- Alexander Druz - famous player intellectual games, winner of the "Diamond Owl" prize, as well as a six-time winner of the "Crystal Owl" prize, awarded to the most distinguished and deserved connoisseurs. Club record holder for the number of games played.
Rovshan Askerov:
- I played in the team of Balash Kasumov, and in January 2016, the host of the program, Boris Kryuk, called me and made an offer that could not be refused - to lead the women's team, - says Rovshan. - To be a captain in our legendary club is already an achievement, and in such a team it is a real success!

I have known Inna Semenova for the longest time, we even played together. I know Nastya Shutova a little less. I am very flattered that Nastya started watching “What? Where? When?" because of me: the girl thought that I looked like her favorite football player, Real Madrid captain Raul, and her dream was to play with me. Even in our team, Ekaterina Mereminskaya, the wife of the connoisseur Stas Mereminsky, I didn’t know her, but my friends said that Katya plays beautifully. I didn’t know Alena Blinova either, but I was a member of the team, the captain of which was her father Alexei Blinov. For seven years Blinov said: "Askerov answers." And now Askerov says: "Blinova answers." I met Natasha Kulikova at the preselection and immediately realized that she was amazing.
I think at first everyone looked at the women's team as a fun attraction: five girls who constantly chirp. Even the sound engineer asked: “How do you hear them? There is such a hubbub, I can’t make out a word.” I then looked at the records and was also surprised how I single out something in this stream. But it doesn't interfere with the game at all.
I think for any captain such a proposal would be a challenge. You are not only a captain, but also a man, a gentleman, and you must remember that your girls are the most beautiful and smart. If they cry because of defeat, then you are to blame - there are simply no other options! But there is also a special buzz: you can please five girls with one word. This is not for every Don Juan. (Laughs.)
Before the game, the members even ask me for advice about dresses. If they ask how I feel about the neckline or open shoulders, I always support such styles. I think that they will not drive a real connoisseur out of his thoughts, but, on the contrary, will inspire him. Girls need to look as beautiful as possible: millions of viewers look at them, and they must fall in love with this entire audience.
We go to cafes together, sometimes we gather at my place, we celebrate birthdays. We have a tradition - to make a birthday present for a common gift. Natasha Kulikova is a sports girl, so she was presented with a certificate to a sports store. Inna loves to read - she was awarded a book certificate. May 4th is my birthday and the gift from the team was amazing. There is table game"Cluedo", in which murders are being investigated, and the girls, based on her motives, developed scenarios for crimes in the Neskuchny Garden, where the game "What? Where? When?". They printed personal cards with our photos, cards with all locations and made a game in a single copy - just for me! Can you imagine how well they treat me?! Now I don't know what to invent for them after such a challenge. But this is good: you need to improve. And there is no better motivation than the eyes of these girls who look at you during the game.
By the way, Julia's wife is not jealous of these eyes - she is wise. By the way, I met her through the game - she played in the "Brain Ring". Moreover, they also had a team of five girls, and Ilya Dengin was the captain, and I somehow replaced him in training. My wife is friends with the members of my team. When they come to my house, cooks dinner, takes part in training if there is time. Katya's son Dima became friends with my sons.
Yulia even likes that her husband is growing above himself, improving. They say that it is impossible to understand a woman, but here I try to understand, to predict reactions, to distinguish shades of intonation, to see when a woman hides her disappointment.
Inna Semenova:
- When I passed the selection, there was no task to make a women's team: along with me, male experts also passed it. Then the editor called me and said: “If you can come to the next stage, I will call the other girls and invite them too.” This suggested that the team will be female. The news was not embarrassing: it does not matter which team to play in - men's or women's. The main thing is to play!

I was delighted to learn that Rovshan would be the captain. He made an excellent leader: he makes compliments, and also has great experience and good intuition.
Perhaps someone will think that the women's team is only interested in dresses, but I want to debunk this myth: we are interested in discussing changes in tax legislation, and car brands, and Shakespeare productions. Still, the transfer of “What? Where? When?" - intellectual, and you need to match it. And the dresses aren't going anywhere.
