Bbc Viewers Criticized Celebrity Mastermind Episode as the Worst Ever
Let’s be honest. We don’t watch Mastermind for the geniuses. We watch for the disasters.
It’s the ultimate schadenfreude. Watching a famous person melt under pressure? Pure gold. It makes us feel smarter and more relaxed on our sofas.
Celebrity Mastermind leaves furious fans with same complaint minutes
Plus, the specialist subject choices were hilarious. One picked “The History of Spoons.” Really? Spoons? He got three questions wrong about spoons!
Another chose “The Life of Beyoncé’s Backup Dancers.” She didn’t know the name of any of them. The irony was thick.
The Round That Broke Them
The general knowledge round was a bloodbath. One contestant scored a grand total of two points. Two! My grandma could do better, and she’s asleep.
The questions weren’t even hard. “What is the capital of France?” One celebrity guessed “Berlin.” An audible gasp echoed across the studio. You could hear the producer crying in the corner.
Another question was, “Which planet is known as the Red Planet?” The answer? “Saturn.” The internet exploded with memes. Someone said it’s the worst answer since “Mice go to heaven.”
