The new NBC game show 1 vs. 100 makes a big deal of featuring contestants from many different walks of life in their 100 person "mobs" of contestants. So it wasn't that surprising when Sister Rose showed up as a contestant playing for charity on Friday's show. What was more surprising was the nun's response to two of the show's game-related questions..
When Rose was asked, "What crime shares its name with the world's best selling video game series," the sister correctly picked Grand Theft Auto from the multiple choice answers, as did all the 68 remaining members of the mob. Later in the show, though, the sister was one of five members of a new, 100-person mob who could not identify "which of the seven deadly sins is video game character Ms. Pac-man most guilty of?" When asked by host Bob Saget about her response, the nun explained "I know the seven deadly sins, but I don't know Pac-man."
We've included a clip of the sister's interesting performance below to document both the ubiquity of Grand Theft Auto in popular culture and the surprising dearth of classic arcade knowledge among one of our country's religious leaders.
