Mastermind misery

Your rudeness and intolerance are what are ridiculous. You asked for thoughts, you got them.(or is it your opinion only that counts?)

Don't be ridiculous.
An England cricketer, interviewed hundreds of times, well used to stressful situations on and off the pitch. The others wiped the floor with him, even a Coronation Street actor and a comedian.
Some of the answers he came up with were frankly ludicrous. This was for each contestant's personal charity and all the contestants volunteered to take part.

I felt sorry for him. I know he signed up for it, but I still felt sorry for him, his performance has been ripped to pieces on social media. Perhaps he did indeed "freeze".

The celebrities’ fees are donated to charity. I felt sorry for Monty, as he did seem to be out of his depth.

I am useless at quizzes even when I know the answers so try not to judge those celebs (as opposed to quizzers) who come a cropper in the pressure of a TV studio!
My DH has a wealth of useless facts stored in his brain that he can recall at the drop of a hat.
Was Monty trying to win money for a charity or something?

He was on A Question of Sport, shown the same day, and answered the cricket questions. He seemed a quiet man on both programmes and was probably far out of his comfort zone.

I agree, I was shocked at how little he knew. He obviously is completely blinkered about anything beyond cricket.

Is it possible the man just froze in a very stressful situation?
