Mastermind 2011/2012 Series Discussion

[DanielFullard]

Is it just me or in the last two episodes, have the people who have gone on to win had far far easier General Knowledge rounds?

Well I wasn't keeping a close count on how many I got right but I was certainly left with the same impression as you.

The guy who won week two got possibly the easiest run of 6-7 questions in the GK round I have ever known. Im hardly at the stage of matching this guys but it seems hardly fair when the young guy who answered on Led Zep was faced with much tougher questions.

I thought the 'Led Zep Guy' had a more accessible GK round than the others. Each to their own, I guess.

I've often thought that contenders get sets aimed, to an extent, at their own general interests. That being the case, someone whose interests sit closer to one's own will tend to appear "easier" perhaps than those whose interest differ markedly from your's (if that makes any sense?).

and well done to Andrew Hunter after a dominant performance in the latest programme

[Chris]

And Andrew's mum has the distinction of being the oldest ever contender on Mastermind.

[DanielFullard]

Very very impressive......he will be tough to beat
