Yer Man from Crystal Swing

steelcityblues · 2012-07-15 20:08:49

Not exactly the brightest - pretty embarrassing. On TV3 Mastermind he got 3 on his own subject, and only 2 more on general knowledge. :pac: Any candidates in the UK who got a lower score?

Inbreds don't capture my attention I'm afraid.

TV3 + "celebrity" best avoided.

I like the Mastermind format, even if the word 'celebrity' is being misused on this version.

How much do they win for charity? The only figure I've heard is €500 which doesn't seem like a lot for a charity show (although I do accept 'tis Ireland we're in.)

Ford Tractors!

I read about his dismal performance yesterday so I tuned in to see how bad it could be. He blamed his poor performance on the fact the others went to third level. He comes across as an imbecile.

But he might as well have said "The Higgs boson" for all he knew about tractors. I read the questions he fluffed and they were pretty straightforward, the general knowledge ones were easy, to be fair. He may not be the brightest lamp in the parlour..

TV3 full stop is best avoided - low budget shyte TV made to cater to the lowest common denominator.

Far worse than Sky I think and to top it all anyone I know who has met any of the ' stars ' or presenters of TV3 has not had a good word to say about any of them.

So your man goes on the TV on a stupid specialist subject designed to attract the sniggers of the Dublin media and combines that with the lowest score in mastermind history thus getting the Crystal Swing name back in the tabloid headlines that had been hogged by Jedward for the last 6 months.

Their whole career is based on a willingness to have people think they are freaks and laugh at them. Laugh all you like but that little "performance" on mastermind will double their 2012 income.
