SG-1 was a special subject in last night's Einstein Factor.

From Stargate News Australia:
"SG-1 Fan Cassie Wins On Einstein Factor

The Einstein Factor is a comedic quiz run by Australian comedian Peter Berner on the Australian television network ABC TV, it's made up of a panel three experts known as the Brain's Trust who compete against three contestants.

Tonights episode saw a Stargate SG-1 fan Cassietake on two other contestants whose subjects were, JS Bach (Ian), The life and career of Judy Garland (David) while Cassie's subject was Stargate SG-1 seasons 1 to 7, with topical questions asked every now and then.

It was touch and go but Cassie came away with the win with 1400 points with Ian on 1350 and David 1150, she seemed a little overwhelmed by the win but managed to put on a brave face. Well done Cass

Be sure to keep your eye on the Einstein Factor (ABC TV 6.30pm Sundays) Cassie will be back for a playoff over the next couple of weeks. Einstein Factor, Sundays, ABC TV 6.30pm."

It was indeed a close game as there were three questions that she could have easily answered but didn't during the game:
In Round 1 she passed on the questions of who developed the series and the name of the President that William Devane plays. The answers being Jonathan Glassner & Brad Wright and Henry Hayes respectively.
Also in Round 2 she did not get it right about Rear Window being the remake of the Hitchcock classic that Christopher Reeve.

Having said that I am glad she won in the end.

Knew that SG-1 was going to be a special subject the moment Peter Berner said in his intro about rings to the gate of the universe.

Cassie is an archaeologist hence her interest in SG-1 and this made Peter Berner to ask whether she would find in one of her digs the guy who used to play MacGuyver. Another funny thing that happened was in the true and false question about the planet Chulak being home of the aliens known as the Smarti (yeah right!!). Cassie decided to passed it to the Brains Trust and thank goodness they said false. (Chulak is the home of the Jaffa.)

At the end of the previous Einstein Factor, Peter Berner mentioned the next one to be a play-off. I am not 100% certain but Cassie may come back in this particular one on her subject of SG-1.

Yes Cassie was indeed back for the play-off last night on The Einstein Factor.

However she lost out in the end to Christine for her special subject of Princess Diana.

The final result was:
Cassie 1400
Kathleen (Harry Potter) 1100
Christine 1750

Somehow I knew it was a bad omen that she missed out on six questions in the first round.

Also prior to the first round being started Peter Berner commented that Richard Dean Anderson is still better known as MacGyver. This is despite the fact that he played Jack O'Neill slightly longer than he did as MacGyver. Makes me wonder whether there are MacGyver fans who react in exactly the same way that Patty and Selma did in that Simpsons episode upon hearing him being in SG-1.

Christine was back in last night's Einstein Factor and therefore Stargate got briefly mentioned by Peter Berner as it was one of the subjects that Christine had beaten.
