So, I’ve just been watching this week’s Mastermind, and a couple of things have had me wondering….
1 - the James guy. He was very familiar to me, and I googled him, to find out he was on a team which won University Challenge a couple of years ago. Do the BBC approach people who have been on other shows, and ask them to be on things like Mastermind, does anyone know? Or do
they just find that people enjoy doing quiz shows??
2 - it was a very high scoring episode. It seems a bit unfair that even the person in 4th would have won other shows - and that they are just ‘out’. Wouldn’t it be fairer to do a repêchage type situation on highest losers? Would mean that the strongest people go through.
I’m now, once again, musing on what my subjects would be! 🤣
