Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"

[LucarioSnooperVixey]

For some reason, it has tonight's Master Minds and People Puzzler as repeats.

For some reason, it has tonight's Master Minds and People Puzzler as repeats.

Same thing next Friday except on the 24th Switch is also marked as rerun. My guess would be stretching new eps. into May sweeps or Friday is just a bad ratings night.

Well, first time the contestant blew out the Master Mind. For Lakedra, Peru’s currency is the Nuevo Sol.

[alietr]

The Beast not being able to dredge up the word 'diaphragm' reminds me of a lot of my thinking nowadays.

Yes, having all contestants answer in the second round is a big improvement.

I never thought it fair that only the two contestants going on to the third round get interviewed. Just doesn't seem right. Not that the interviews are exciting, mind you.

Only 1/6 for bison? Wonder what everyone was thinking?

Don't ever recall Wisent being an answer on a US quiz show.

Another woolly mammoth here.

I've been underwhelmed by The Beast so far. And it's not just the Americanisms that I would expect to be more difficult for him.

Maybe he’s just not great on the buzzer. I’ve seen Muffy, Jonathan and Ryan reach the showdown more often.

He's definitely terrible on the buzzer. You can see his frustration. But 3 for 33? That's more than just the buzzer.

Tough week for the Master Minds going 5/16 in the Bonus round.

[LucarioSnooperVixey]

Only 2/10 correct in tiebreakers. Not a good success rate.

In one of the morning reruns this week, one of the contestants said Greta Thurnberg in the rapid fire round and it was accepted.
