Jonathan: The highest contestant score we've ever seen.
Me: Early in Season 1, a contestant scored 7400.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"
Evidently none of the Master Minds knew the nautical miles question and only one knew Magellan's flagship.
They may be Master Minds, but they certainly aren't Eggheads.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"
How many times have you seen one of them give a look like "Oh, yeah, I knew that one, darn it!" after the answer is revealed? Just because they answered incorrectly or didn't come up with the answer doesn't necessarily mean they didn't know it. Just like someone getting an answer correct in the first round (multiple choice) doesn't mean that they knew the answer.LucarioSnooperVixey wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 12:40 am Evidently none of the Master Minds knew the nautical miles question and only one knew Magellan's flagship.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"
Disastrous final round on Friday's episode. I got all 5. Easy $10k for me.
Most surprised Arianna missed Leonidas.

Monday's Final Round wasn't as bad, but again, a 5/5 for me making it another easy $10k win.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"
Today, there were two episodes of Master Minds. The first episode had a $10k winner. The second episode was a continuation of the $10k winner.
I wonder if tomorrow's back-to-back episodes will be the same case?
Also disappointed at Ken for missing a question about one of my favorite places, The Schonbrunn Palace.

Schonnbrun bored me. That Somalia question (Africa’s longest coastline) seems like a recent question on a show jennings was on yet he got it wrong. Good try by Patrick.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"
The upshot is ... contestants win 7.7% of the time. Not very good odds. And at that, you basically have a 33% chance of getting $1,000.

If you are travelling far on an airplane to be on the show, you are barely breaking even or losing money if you only win $1,000 after taxes.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"
IF is the key word there, and the $1,000 is BEFORE taxes, so yes, it's not likely that your trip will be paid for. Which is why I haven't bothered auditioning for them.

Love how the March 5th episode, which Ken was not part of, featured the answer "Boricua"
Spoiler
He got it wrong on The Chase premier.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"
Is it possible they pay airfare and/or hotel? Considering 2/3rd of the players walk away with nothing it seems plausible.
