Title: Mastermind
Post by: superval99 on January 25, 2022, 09:17:58 AM
I was watching Mastermind last week and one of the contestants chose Bob Dylan for their specialist subject.   Unfortunately, she didn't fare very well, only managing to answer four questions successfully.   I felt so sorry for her, because I'm sure she normally knew her subject very well.   I was wondering how fellow Amiters would fare under the spotlight with DS/MK as their chosen subject.   I know that I would probably freeze and not even be able to remember Mark's name!   ;)

Come on! Any serious get a lifer would breeze through any set of questions like a champion! Fans know about the life of their heroes more than they know about their lives themselves.

Even sitting in the black chair, under a spotlight on TV?

In the times of the IRC chat, I made a game of questions regarding DS and MK, that was played by all the people on the SPanish City chat. We all had a certain amount of time to try to answer as many questions as we could.

It was good fun, and I always tried to no participate, as I did the questions, I knew all the answers, LOL

The Filmhouse in Edinburgh used to have a regular quiz night in the bar.  I went along one night just to look on but I'd have been hopeless due to my total lack of knowledge of C21st films.  :-[

Regarding MK, I'd be fine with his music and touring, but questions on his personal life would throw me.  Not really too interested in that area.

The people setting the questions no doubt just look online and there isn't that much info around on his personal life so I think you would be OK.

I'm pretty good at a pub quiz until the questions relate to modern music!
