One showed up on my DVR today. These aren't new, are they? Hard to believe Ken would still be involved.

Careful Master Minds. The ice cream cone was the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis.

Returning champion now stands on the right podium rather than the left.
0/6 for “Queen of the Night”. Dagger.
Matt revealed on the show he won $250k on WWTBAM in the Regis era.
ETA: Matt Marcotte from 1999. Knew he looked familiar.

Remind me of Matt if he ever gets on J! since we know of at least two lines to give him for his game show rap sheet.LucarioSnooperVixey wrote: ↑Thu Jan 12, 2023 10:42 pm Returning champion now stands on the right podium rather than the left.

All I had was Kenneth on the Elton John Q, but knew the Egyptian and woodwind that went 1/2 on the show.
Mark was intimidating enough on The Chase while seated. Standing up he looks ginormous.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"
I've met Jonathan, and he's a big fella. The Beast is a lot bigger than him.
Matt was really sharp. Unfortunate break for him not collecting the additional $10k. While he was very good, he wasn't exactly charismatic. Which makes me wonder how they deal with that if someone becomes a Master Mind.
Plus reducing the final round to 4 questions. I wonder what their intent was with that? Make it easier to win or harder to win?

I can't disagree. It's the TV equivalent of a trifle. And eliminate the fluff, it can be knocked off pretty quickly.Austin Powers wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 10:31 amI dislike this show.

Looks like it is time for OtriviaNewtonJon to follow suit with Rafferty Barnes and set his profile pic.
Sonnets from the Portuguese was a disappointing miss from Muffy.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"
No thanks, Im just a lurker, i take the “Fun” part of “Fun with Master Minds” literally. It’s more pure and simple to enjoy the discourse passively. No pics, (almost) no posts, no hugging, no learning. Love y’all though
