Celebrity Mastermind - Episode 4
First of all, a quick mention that there is no write up or comment on Celebrity Mastermind episode 3 which aired yesterday. I did watch the show but was watching it with family at a get together so rather than go back using iplayer to make mention of events Ill simple move onto the fourth episode of Celebrity Mastermind which aired tonight.
Contendors -
Matthew Hoggard
Justin Moorhouse
Jules Hudson
Ray Fearon
Cricket legend Matthew Hoggard opening proceedings with questions on Friends, a show I did watch during its run. It was only the first two seasons which was a long time ago and I only managed 3 with Hoggard only fairing slightly better on 5. I have no memory of Julia Roberts being in the show though so thats at least something learned today!
Jules Hudson had Operation Market Garden which I could recall a few bits and bobs about, but obviously less than I thought suffice to say that I was no where near Hudson's impressive total of 12 which is one of, if not the, highest score seen so far in this series of Celebrity Mastermind on the specialist round.
Justin Moorhouse chose Les Dawson, way before my time so the handful I got didn't compare to Moorhouse's 11. Another great total.
Finally into the chair was Ray Fearon, who I spent most of the round trying to remember what he had been in. His chosen subject of Othello was the play I studied for A-Level and seemingly have forgotten most of it scoring a lowly 5 compared to the 10 scored by Fearon.
Shaping up to be a close edition of Celebrity Mastermind tonight!
Standings after Round 1 -
Justin Moorhouse - 11
Ray Fearon - 10
Matthew Hoggard - 5
As usual their was the usual bit of chit chat before Matthew Hoggard started the tough task of putting himself back into the race with his General Knowledge round. As always with Celebrity Mastermind he was drip fed some easy questions. A very easy set, I managed to get all but two with Hoggard struggling a little more scoring 8 for the round bringing his total to 13 and confining him to last place for sure you would think.
Ray Fearon was next and Humprheys must have been running out of ideas by asking "What makes Shakespeare a genius?". Fearon got off to a terrible start and it got worse as he froze in the famous chair.He had an easy set and I am sure having not been in the chair he would have scored a lot more, but nevertheless he scored only 3 points meaning he matches Hoggards 13. There have been quite a few celebrities fail in the Celebrity Mastermind seat this series and I am sure Fearon is kicking himself.
Justin Moorhouse, who despite watching a heck a lot of stand up I have never actually heard off before, was next up. I did not know the fact about Tim Vine, Jeremy Vine's younger brother, having the the world record for most jokes in an hour. Moorhouse had a solid run and got off to a flyer, with a bit of humour added about the W in George W Bush. Gaining a score of 17 for the round, 28 overall and surely enough to win Celebrity Mastermind tonight.
Finally, Jules Hudson headed to the hot seat needing a tough 16 to win. Jules did not get off the best start though and a few wrong answers early on left him with an uphill struggle. 23 was the final score and Justin Moorhouse had stormed to victory on tonights Celebrity Mastermind!
Final Standings -
Justin Moorhouse - 28
Jules Hudson - 23
Ray Fearon - 13
Matthew Hoggard - 13
The general knowledge questions have been fare better on the last few Celebrity Mastermind shows thankfully and I have enjoyed them far more in the last few days. Celebrity Mastermind is having a few days rest and will return on Monday 2nd January which is turning into quite a night for TV quizzing!
Enjoy your New Year Celebrations whatever you are up to!
