Agreed jim.
Hi tabstop and welcome to LA...Hi all,<br /><br />Agreed jim. <br />Hi tabstop and welcome to LAM. Don't worry, we welcome all contributors. I know where you're coming from, but I'd hate to lose the knockout element of the show. I didn't like it in Sport mastermind where some of them could win their heats, but that was as far as they could go. <br /><br />Dan, the reason why I posted was Chris' tantalising facebook comment on Friday. So what you say does not come as a total shock. Well, that's well and good . If you're going to have highest loser spots, then it makes sense that they go to the HIGHEST scoring runners up, not just the highest scoring second place contenders. <br /><br />Hi Ewan. Yes, Chris is a potential winner of ANY quiz he participates in. I'd lay odds that he won't repeat that specialist performance again in a hurry.

It would be a great shame if the series lost such a strong player at such an early stage. A potential series winner if he can improve his specialist subject performance?Ewan Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634824712637908230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-32803471628405865452012-10-22T11:03:45.693-07:002012-10-22T11:03:45.693-07:00Hi Dave

Regardless of whether they were 2nd or not.<br /><br />Now we know for sure<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />DanDanielFullardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635161450969202410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-28212185761693552462012-10-22T11:02:15.104-07:002012-10-22T11:02:15.104-07:00Hi DaveHi DaveDanielFullardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635161450969202410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-78517471564308659192012-10-21T18:26:57.427-07:002012-10-21T18:26:57.427-07:00I'd even go a bit farther than jim above and o...I'd even go a bit farther than jim above and opine that the top scores should go through, regardless of whether they won their heat or not. Mainly because for Mastermind I have a hard time even saying "won their heat" without giggling, since you could just about tape everyone's segment independently and splice it together in the editing room.<br /><br />But I'm a Yank and I have no respect for the tradition, so what do I know?tabstophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761166685551109196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-18175371594689298772012-10-21T14:30:12.677-07:002012-10-21T14:30:12.677-07:00I think you're right, especially in a quiz lik...I think you're right, especially in a quiz like <i>Mastermind</i> when there's no direct competition. Your question set is your own, no-one is opposing you to answer those questions, so it should be those people who answer the most, as far as possible, that go through.<br /><br /> It is indeed a shame if people with scores higher than other heat winners don't get through.jim360https://www.blogger.com/profile/11827592412424749053noreply@blogger.com
