That's the nub of it for me, too.... and I'd definitely have Kevin on my pub quiz team any day of the week.
Me too! You get the feeling that if he were on your team (and you got a question wrong) he'd just say ... 'ah well ... it is just a game ... its not a matter of life or death'. Whereas - if you were to do the same and you were on Daphne's team ... she'd beat you to death with her broomstick!
There was an Eggheads team on Only Connect the other night, made up of Pat Barry and Chris, and they got pumped. Really made my night. Will be on iPlayer.
While they did lose in the end, they were dead level going into the last round, in other words, after the 3 rounds peculiar to Only Connect and before a bog standard crosswordy type word game.
Going back to the original title of this thread, isn't it the case that many posters on here feel inferior because Daphne and the other Eggheads have a fund of general knowledge which is far in excess of theirs.
If it was merely "general" knowledge they wouldn't have much of an edge at all, it's all the obscure trivia they mug up on that wins them the quizzes.
Totally agree with all about daphne ,so annoying the head shaking to let s know whoever has got the answer wrong and she knows it,plus the guessing and look of sham surprise give it a rest

Today she nodded wisely to a answer Kevin gave and proclaimed it right ................... only it was wrong !!!! Made me laugh out loud at her face .:D

I'd cross the street to avoid any of the Eggheads team. Hell, I'd emigrate to Tierra del Fuego to avoid any of the Eggheads team. They have a certain look about them...

I absolutely love it whenever she does that, can't stand the woman. Her attitude and the odious CJ's are mocking and bad sportsmanship. Why do the others put up with them?
I would just like to say I have met Kevin ( he wiped the floor with me on Sale Of The Century ) & you could not meet a more down to earth or nicer man.

Yep, made me laugh out loud too, much louder than was really necessary, tbh But I can't abide her or her 'lucky guessing'.
I'll tell you who I do utterly loathe though, and that's Jeremy Vine. I simply cannot stand his smug, smarmy, oily character and recently he doesn't seem able to keep his mouth shut.

I agree. I wish someone would gve him a new script. He's also rather dense. His pronunciation of many words is hilarious.:D

I think her teeth dont fit .
Love Kevin and the rest.
How many would ( or did ) CJ get if there was a thread about this much loved Egghead

Daphne is very annoying, the way she pretends to not know an answer, takes a 'guess' and she knows it :rolleyes:
