The pointless answers were -

The Solomon Islands

The Marshall Islands

Watched the first q on iplayer to see what this thread is about.

Her teammate's reaction was hilarious, as @akabula notes, but I think it was despair rather than anger. I was surprised Ireland scored so well. I'd have expected it to be the first one people would think of, and thus the highest scoring country.
