As regards the other GK rounds I certainly didn't think that any set was noticeably easier than the others. For the record, my scores were : - 18 on yours, 15 on Charlotte's ( she was answering much more slowly and didn't get through as many questions ) 18 on Alcuin's and 19 on David's. It's different when you're doing it in the comfort of your front room, mind. <br /><br />I'm interested to see you say that about Alcuin. I have always thought that a fair number of contenders only go on for the experience of going on the show, wanting to do as well as they can, obviously, but with no thought of winning and going any further. The thing is,though, if you sign on the dotted line you are aware that you could be signing up for as many as three shows. I hope that he'll come to look back on it and say - I'm a Mastermind semi finalist, and that's quite something.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time and trouble to leave a comment.

It was an amazing experience though. Poor Alcuin was gutted to have won - he really didn't want to do the semi. I hope he did well though.

I met David back at an event I was at in Edinburgh (either the WQC or the Brunton Shield) so I was rooting for him!<br /><br />I don't think we will see anymore highest scoring runners up in the remaining heats so its all on winners nowDanielFullardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635161450969202410noreply@blogger.com
