Another close heat this week. After last week's tie break there was little again to choose between the contestant. Former Finalist Les Morrell was a face I recognised straight away. Susan Sworn was a familiar face too having reached the Semi Final on a previous occasion. Indeed she bossed the specialist subject and left herself very little to do in the GK round to progress but just couldn't make it.
The GK sets were nicely balanced this week in my view. Always a subjective issue, but I found I scored evenly across them.
Final Placings
------------------------
Chris Grandison - 26
Susan Sworn - 25
Jeremy Renals - 25
Les Morrell-24
So congratulations to Chris Grandison on a fine win. Could well be a name to watch in the Semi's! Les Morrell mentions on Facebook his whole round was disturbed due to a mess up on the Yoga question by Humprheys which threw his round off. Edit: See Dsvid Clark's comment in the box below.
Either way, it was a good enjoyable heat.
Hi Dan,
ReplyDeleteCan I just add to your point about Les' comments on Facebook. Les said that he couldn't get his concentration back after that question, however he was not protesting or complaining about the outcome of the show. Les did not put in an objection after the round, a fact which seemed to surprise both the production team, who left him sitting in the chair once the round was over for quite some time, and also the other three contenders, who all said to him that they thought he should have objected.
I just wouldn't want anyone who hasn't read the Facebook comments to draw the conclusion that Les was complaining or moaning about his lot, which he wasn't.
Hi, Dan, Admitted some of the grammar in the yoga question was unclear, but I thought Les recovered like a pro to get a very creditable score. I know that 25 was at the very upper limit of my expectations and 24 would scarcely have been less so. I'm guessing the production team felt there was enough clear material in the question to make an answer possible. As Bobby himself might tell you, like a bobble on the pitch or an unfortunate rebound off the crossbar, sometimes the breaks don't go your way.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeremy. Good to hear from you. Glad you are happy with the performance...made for great TV being so close.

ReplyDeleteYou have taken the comment the entirely wrong way. I wouldn't have done any better on your GK set.
ReplyDeleteYet again you have removed my reply. You can say what you like, but I have no such right as far as you are concerned. I reiterate my challenge - as you are so brilliant, go on Mastermind and win it.
