I know Im gonna sound jealous and in a way I suppose I am of his high intelligence but its just the way he always has an answer for everything and 99% of the time its correct.

He must have an ego the size of china, CJ's no better

    Daphne's the worse, hiding under that Miss Marple exterior. I'm sure she's a spy or something.

    I like Daphne and Judith, but the rest drive me nuts. Not sure who does my head the most, CJ or Kevin!

    It's Kevin's job to know so much. The man obviously figured he had a talent when it comes to quizzes and makes money from it.

    She's sold her soul to the devil, you can tell.

    Daphne's the most insincere of them all. Can't stand her.

    Don't see how anyone can have a problem with Kevin. He knows absolutely everything, he doesn't show off about it, and he doesn't pretend to be anything other than a quizzing machine. Great guy.

    One of the most aggravating things for me is that when they actually say they don't know something!..:eek:.. and take a guess!, then 9/10 they guess the correct answer!...:mad:...How can that be?.... because when the contestant doesn't know and they take a guess, then 9/10 they guess wrong!.......:confused:

    C.J is the most annoying imo, his face when someone is giving the wrong answer, he is the smuggest smug in Smugville..:D

    CJ when he rolls his eyes is worse, followed by Daphne pretending she doesn't know an answer when she does.

    Kevin has the greatest general knowledge but isn't big-headed about it, the geeky one with the glasses is somehow married, the Irish guy is okay, Chris is quite fun and Judith is still giving the challengers a chance.

    Yes, CJ is easily the most annoying. I'm not sure why, but Daphne just seems very insincere to me. The others are all OK.

    Chris is my least favourite - always think he is a bad loser.
    Quite like Kevin - think he is certainly sincere. For some strange reason I always think he looks like what a love child of Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones would look like. :D

    Had to laugh the other night when they asked the eggheads a question about the Shakers. You just knew Daphne would have the answer.

    Judith and Daphne are my favourites. I like Judith's humour and I like that Marple aspect to Daphne. Always liked her on 15 to 1 as well (which should still be on air!)

    I like the contrast between Chris and Kevin. Chris is like a curmudgeonly, argumentative quizzer while Kevin is a quiz robot. I could see them going head to head in a village pub somewhere!

    CJ is the only one I've never really liked although he seems a lot more grounded and not so humourless lately.

    Silly of me but I see the other two as impostors!

    I find Kevin more boring than annoying. His knowledge is very impressive but it would be nice if he had more personality! Smug CJ is the most irritating, followed by Daphne with her "guessing". I like how Judith doesn't take herself too seriously when facing her weak subjects. Chris can be funny with his occasional jokes and impersonations. Barry is somehow irritating despite his cheeriness and Pat is just dull.

    ...because they use other information to figure it out, for example referring to the latin term and definition and so on. Whilst they are not sure on all of the questions, logic applies and its rare they actually take a blind guess and even then its usually 50/50.

    There's nothing wrong with Kevin, he answers the questions and provides information for matters the audience won't be familar with and/or matters he isn't exactly clear on but speaks out loud to make sense of it. You see it from time to time its Kevin who tells the others to stop and think about things, if that means talking for a minute about it then they will do that... its why he is one of the best quizzers in the world. When he doesn't know, he admits it and takes it on the chin. CJ on the other hand, thinks he knows it all fails half the time, gives off that face like 'how don't you know that' and complains when he is given a subject he doesnt like... unlike Kevin (who although denies it) clearly researches his weaknesses as shown by his vast improvement in the food & drink round.

    Surprisingly its not the two new additions who are the weak links in the 7, CJ and Judith are by far the worse unless in their specialist subject which if the team researched properly would never pick them for them.

    Kevin is the only one I really like, he seems unassuming to me despite his vast knowledge.

    Cannot bear CJ or ("that would be") Daphne.

    I do get annoyed with the presenter sayng the same old endings "eggheads, you've won" and "eggheads doing what come naturally."

    Kevin always looks nervous to me. I can't read him at all.
    CJ is the smug one.
    How come Daphne's guesses always seem to be the right answer? I don't believe her for a minute that she didn't know.

    I quite like Kevin. He's a quiet guy with good knowledge. I find Daphne the most annoying as she's ruthlessly competitive. CJ's a pretentious pillock...making out he's a chess grandmaster and such.
    Chris is OK and I do like Judith. Very posh but seems nice and doesn't take it at all seriously.

    Some of my colleagues went on the show and won! :DThey said the Irish guy was a decent chap.
