Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - aaronjennings - 25-08-2021

Hello and welcome to a brand new game of Mastermind Sheep, featuring the most ominous chair in all of quizdom

15 people submitted Specialist Subjects to base our questions on. Those categories and the people who nominated them will be revealed over time

Here is a reminder of the questions which resulted from those Specialist Subjects:

1. A number-one best-selling single from 1982
2. A single by Boyzone
3. A song that appears in the first "Pitch Perfect" movie

4. A character from the video game "Final Fantasy VII", other than Cloud Strife
5. A video game released in 2021

6. A Sherlock Holmes novel
7. A non-human character from "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"
8. A winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in the 21st century

9. A location in the TV series "Friends"
10. An actor/actress who appeared in the "Doctor Who" episode "The Day of the Doctor"
11. A character who appears in the "Downton Abbey" movie

12. The colour of a line on the London Underground
13. An animal or object in the nursery rhyme "Hey Diddle Diddle"
14. A type of wood found in Ireland
15. A winner of the "BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year" award

For ease of reading, I have grouped them into five categories: music, video games, literature, TV and general knowledge

Bonus points are available for people who submitted Specialist Subjects, if they manage to find the Sheep in their topic of choice. However, punishments are also on the table if they fail to find the Sheep, so anyone can win, regardless of whether they nominated a subject or not

Join us at 8pm on BBC Two FoG for the grand finale Smile

Fun fact, I won the BBC Mastermind when I was younger, don't I look dashing?

This would be a far more prestigious, and truthful, prize though!

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - aaronjennings - 25-08-2021

Our first question was based on Leg End Reject’s Specialist Subject: 80s music. I narrowed the field down to a specific year, the first one I could find that had several Sheepable options. But which chart-topper will be the top of our table?

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - aaronjennings - 25-08-2021

Dexys Midnight Runners run away with the Sheep in this one, as Leggy unfortunately fails to cash in on the Specialist Subject bonus

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - aaronjennings - 25-08-2021

The second of our music-based questions comes courtesy of Toto Wolfcastle, and their Specialist Subject of 90s boybands. Lots to choose from, so of course I had to root for the local boys. Is this the song you went for?

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - ari101 - 25-08-2021

And I was thinking I was blind Big Grin

Leggy I'm sorry to be the only friend for your specialist choice - at least we have more than an Ace!

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - E.N. - 25-08-2021

Looks fine Smile

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - nothing - 25-08-2021

If you use "forum formatted text" option for scores after each question, it works nicely Smile

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - ari101 - 25-08-2021

Oh no, nil points for a non specialist sheep whoops

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - aaronjennings - 25-08-2021

Another clear Sheep here, but again, our Specialist Subject fails it's nominee - the curse of too much knowledge, perhaps?

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - aaronjennings - 25-08-2021

The third and final music in our music comes not from an era or genre, but a movie series - specifically the Pitch Perfect movie series, as chosen by cee_jay. This movie was the origin of one very popular song, but will your cups be filled with points as a result?

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - aaronjennings - 25-08-2021

This was a close question throughout, and in the end we get a double Sheep, and our first successful Specialist Subject bonus

I have never watched Pitch Perfect .

ETA , is Rebel Wilson in it ? I don't like her , think that's why I've avoided it !

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - nothing - 25-08-2021

Well done cee_jay!

It's only easy if you know the answer

Oh wait, wrong quiz show Big Grin

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - aaronjennings - 25-08-2021

#On to video games now, specifically Final Fantasy VII, which Necro nominated as his Specialist Subject. I assumed everyone would choose the main character, hence why I eliminated him from the equation. So who did you choose in his place?

I had started well

RE: Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL - aaronjennings - 25-08-2021

I know none of these people, so I'm trusting Google that they all exist. Regardless, the bad buy (someone call Billie Eilish) is the Sheep here
