[Completed] Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL

[aaronjennings]

Another missed Sheep for cee_jay sees her fall out of title contention. Shane, who missed the Sheep on the first question but has gone on to Sheep the next 13 questions in a row, holds a narrow victory over Zaph and EN, who themselves have only missed two Sheep each

With only 3 points separating the top three, and only one question to go, who wil hold their nerve...?

That's some going ShaneU!

[ari101]

My over planted Sitka Spruce is getting me nowhere

[aaronjennings]

Finally, we move on to wrestlemaniac’s Specialist Subject which, and I am quoting exactly, is:
 
“Prodigious sporting talents.
Those people who from a young age were predicted to be world class and have gone on to do just that”
 
After a stiff drink while I digested that sentence, I finally managed to create a question around it, but who will win the award this time around? A young Wayne Rooney, perhaps?

[aaronjennings]

I can tell you that the top three all submitted different answers, and only one of them managed to find the Sheep...

[nothing]

Ooooooh, build that tension!

[E.N.]

Ha ha, I just picked last year's winner, never heard of them though. I think I might regret that now

[aaronjennings]

Actually, will I save the final question for another day?

No, I've started so I'll finish

[Zaph]

Ha ha, I just picked last year's winner, never heard of them though. I think I might regret that now

She's the daughter of Fred Sirieix, the maitre d' from First Dates.

And commiserations also to Barna77, who picks up the Glass Spoon

[E.N.]

Cheers aaron, that was a really interesting take. Some very niche questions that you wouldn't normally get! Great reveal

[ari101]

Some very good sheeping here, Congrats!

Thanks Aaron for a nice variation on the game

[Leg End Reject]

Congrats Zaph!

Thanks Aaron, I had to Google my own specialist subject so I was doomed from the start.

[ShaneU]

Wayne Rooney clearly the most talented person to win that award, a bunch of ABU's around here methinks

[jp liz v1]

Well Done, Enjoyable

[Zaph]

Wayne Rooney clearly the most talented person to win that award, a bunch of ABU's around here methinks

I went with Andy Murray because I reckoned even non-sport fans would probably have heard of him.

Although obviously I'm an ABU as well

[Toto Wolfcastle]

Congrats Zaph!

Thanks @aaronjennings, that was a great idea for a sheep.

[Sawduck]

Congrats Zaph, some great masterminding

Cheers for hosting Aaron, great idea

[Neowise]

Sorry, I missed the ending last night so only catching up now.

Great idea for a game, AJ, well done, and very well run. Gowan, do another

And congrats Zaphod B on your trophy. Nice work

[Barna77]

And commiserations also to Barna77, who picks up the Glass Spoon

Google failed me! I'm too hangover to handle a glass spoon, i'll probably wreck it 
Thanks for running the game. Congrats zaph

enjoy the spoon barna, it'll bring you luck for the next game.

My first spoon. Badge of honor. 
I need another one to play drums now

[Edser]

Sorry I missed this last night.
