Mastermind Semi Final 6 Subjects

Well, by a process of elimination we know that Monday’s semi-final contenders will be Ann Mayner, Alex Shilton, Joe Andrew and Ben Spicer. We also know that their specialist subjects will be :-

Sir Edwin Lutyens

Coldplay

The Karen Pirie Novels of Val McDermid

The Films of Terry Gilliam

We don’t know who will be taking which subject, but I dare say we’ll learn that on Monday. Looking at the subjects I really can’t see myself finishing the semis with a flourish on specialist. I predicted 3 – 5 last Monday and ended up with 4. Similarly, this coming Monday I might sneak a point on Lutyens, I might sneak another on Coldplay and maybe 2 on Terry Gilliam. On the Karen Pirie novels, no, I’ve never read any so cannot reckon on scoring any points there.

I’ll be posting a review after the show as usual, and then a preview of the Grand Final, giving my honest (although invariably inaccurate) predictions.
