Sandra Pinkney: I think he is a very nice and sensitive young man with a welcoming sense of humor. Of course being extremely intelligent is always a blessing. You go Johnathan!

Sharon Jones: Full of himself, not really smart. Most of the time he never moves forward or wins. (March 07, 2021)Reply »
Mark Miller: Sharon, I've never watched a person so full of themselves who is so skilled at losing. On Master Mind you would think that he would easily beat Ken or Muffy from the way he speaks of himself and belittles the challengers. However, on the very rare occasion, he gets to the final round against his co-masterminds, he usually loses and loses badly. Jonathan lost to Muffy 4300 to 1100 on the show broadcast on 7/18/21. His arrogance makes it sad to think he teaches children chess.
Ning: I agree with you, Sharon! He takes up a spot on the show in which a TRUE contestant could have a chance to compete. Did you read his bio? He prides himself on being in as many games shows as he can in his lifetime? NOT GOOD!!!
Anonymous user: Those comments are scripted. Plus, he's won several game shows and has been a chess expert since a teen.

Debbie: Stop bragging, you aren't as smart as Men or Muffy (January 31, 2021)Reply »
Margaret: Really short-sighted on your part. If you play along, there are answers you know, answers you guess. Then there are times you just don't know. All the contestants have incorrect answers. Sometimes, I wondered if they aren't deferring so as to let another MM shine that day. This is entertainment, folks. Not a matter of life and death. Just watch, learn, laugh and enjoy.
Mark Miller: It's too bad Ken and Muffy are on the same show with him. A little humility would go a long way. It is too bad the show doesn't have the stats of their Master Minds wins vs losses
Jerry: Does he have hair implants? (January 23, 2021)Reply »

PlayDough: Joe Edward's excuse that he is familiar with history is ridiculous and sad that it comes from an educator.
Stacy Lee: Hi my name is... I'm a fan (January 07, 2021)Reply »
Elaine P.: Like Jonathan, however he shouldn't brag so much since he hardly ever wins over the other masterminds; just saying (December 31, 2020)Reply »
Andy Capp: Being smart doesn't give you the right to be arrogant, take a tip from Jesus.
Anonymous user: I feel the same way. Always bragging like heâs so great and very seldom wins
[email protected]: Jonathan may not win as often as Ken and Muffy. But he has a very brilliant mind. He is familiar with History.
