[Completed] Mastermind Sheep - THE REVEAL

[Mam of 4]

Woohoo a sheep!

[quickbeam]

That was an education as I never knew where Seph got his name from. Surprised more didn't go with that.

[E.N.]

I have never...
...listened to music in 1982
...deliberately listened to Boyzone
...seen Pitch Perfect
...played FF7

It was bound to fall apart in the end. At least I took Necro with me

[E.N.]

That was an education as I never knew where Seph got his name from.  Surprised more didn't go with that.

If I'd spotted it, I would have done. I read as far as the first name on the list

[jp liz v1]

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 !

They are very watchable, catchy tunes versions

[aaronjennings]

cee_jay extends her lead to 7 points, now the only person to have Sheeped every question so far

I didn't see it  I went with the second name on wiki
Pity Seph isn't in for it

[Zaph]

That was an education as I never knew where Seph got his name from. Surprised more didn't go with that.

I took the second name on the list of characters on the Wikipedia page (Cloud Strife was the first). I never even looked further down the list, otherwise I would have gone for Sephiroth as it would have been a really obvious choice.

[Mam of 4]

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 !

I just googled , she's in them , so nope , I won't be watching !

[aaronjennings]

I never clocked it and I've been staring at it all week!

[aaronjennings]

Speaking of video games, that is exactly what ShaneU chose as their Specialist Subject. A very vague topic, so I simply asked for a game released within in the last year. Did anyone have FFVII on the mind, and nominate its modern remake?

[ari101]

I just googled , she's in them , so nope , I won't be watching !

I was wondering why I hadn't bothered  Thanks for the reminder Mam, she does my head in.

[aaronjennings]

Okay, maybe I should have narrowed the field down a bit here, as we got 13 different answers to this question. Impressively, Shane still managed to find the Sheep in all the chaos, as did our leader

[ari101]

Ari , I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like her . For me she's on par with Gemma Collins , insufferable ott wreck the heads !

Had to google her, think I saw her on a chat show or something and not my cuppa tea either. I didn't watch the Hustle because of Rebel Wilson also. And she was part of the reason for not watching Bridesmaids either.

[aaronjennings]

Up next is a question based on Edser’s category of choice, the most famous detective in all of fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Which of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s written woks did you dig up from your mond palace, i.e. Google?

[E.N.]

I think this might be the only one I didn't google

Edit: not quite, might be five!

[aaronjennings]

Have to admit, I was surprised by the Sheep here, so it's a good thing I'm hosting and wasn't playing, as 15 people detected the right answer to go for

Actually, I think that is the first question so far that I didn't need to Google.

[Mam of 4]

@Zaph , an lol here , my nasty side came through there !

@ari101 , GC is vile , ... I like that we have principles and won't watch films with people we don't like in them

[aaronjennings]

Six Sheep in a row for cee_jay now... can she go all the way with a perfect score? Edser's Specialist Subject boost puts them in the hunt in case of any slip-ups

I had to Google Gemma Collins. If that affects my future searches I'll be coming for your heads!

Omg! A study in Scarlet is a way better story than hounds!

[E.N.]

Omg! A study in Scarlet is a way better story than hounds!

That's not the question though

[Mam of 4]

Clear your browsing history EN !

Ah , back in my usual abode again .

[aaronjennings]

I’m sure it comes as a surprise to no one that the question based on The Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy came from Zaph’s category nomination. But don’t worry, because regardless of what the Sheep is, one should always bear this in mind when travelling:

[ari101]

Omg! A study in Scarlet is a way better story than hounds!

I have the audible Stephen Fry reads collection, I must get back to listening to it

I figured the Hound would sheep it is much more commonly told and episodes/movies of the same repeated on TV

[aaronjennings]

Brain the size of a planet and all he can do is be the Sheep in a quiz question...

[quickbeam]

Okay, I can be forgiven for not knowing where Seph's name came from as I don't play computer games, but as a Douglas Adams' fan I should have known about Zaph's name long since.

[aaronjennings]

Still no sign of cee_jay slowing down, as Zaph's bonus movs him up to third place

Next up is the Specialist Subject submitted by Irish Aris, who initially suggested the vague category of literature/books, before suggesting, among others, Literature Nobel Prize winners, which is the one I opted for. Which world-renowned writer will win, one wonders?

[aaronjennings]

Oof, it's a painful round if you didn't go for the singer, as people who chose actual writers are cruelly punished for their knowledge

Zaphod was taken when I joined Boards, but I used it on another site previously and people there usually shortened it to Zaph.

[aaronjennings]

Not much change at the top, as cee_jay apassed the half-way mark and is still on a maximum of 8/8 Sheep, but those behind her continue to keep pace

Moving on to out TV and movies questions now, and first up is our question set around Friends, as nominated by Homer J. Fong. Did you grab a coffee on the go, or would you rather stay at home in your apartment that doesn’t seem to have a lock?
