If you were watching on Monday night you would have heard:

''Eggheads - you've lost''

Haha.... yes!.. and i had to laugh last night when the money was just £2000. the challengers lost but once again we are subject to the same 'Who will beat you?..'.... it went through my mind at the time, 'well the people that were on just 2 nights ago managed to'......

Actually the Eggheads have been beaten quite a few times over the years (although not exactly the same line-up each time).I assume we now have two presenters because neither Jeremy nor Dermot can commit full time to recording a whole series but it's a little bit distracting as Vine tends to waffle a lot ,more.

Someone was saying only a week or so ago that he was going to be leaving but!, i wonder how soon we will see the going of him though because, i have only been watching the prog for a coupe of years i must admit but, recently i have heard them talking about the 'new' egghead Barry!... well Barry has been on the show for as long as i have been watching so how old are some of these show i wonder?..... So i think we will be 'enjoying'... the dulcet tones (and facial expressions) of Cj for quite a time yet eh!....

As far as I can work out you get several weeks of new shows then several weeks of repeats, it's all very confusing. I think CJ will be there (in one form or another) for years to come Somebody on DS said he was going off to concentrate on his acting career

I know someone who was on a challengers' team on Eggheads (they lost). He said apart from CJ the others were not friendly or approachable, while CJ came into the studio and chatted to them before the recording. They had to wait for the other Eggheads to turn up and they seemed full of their own self-importance

Exactly ... The other annoying one is at the beginning of the program, when the presenter says "the question is; can they be beaten"?

Errr ... No, that isn't the question, as they obviously can be beaten (several times). The question you're looking for is; "will they be beaten"?

Does my head in everytime

CJ comes across as a nice guy on Twitter.
Over the years of watching Eggheads I've come to the conclusion his huffing and puffing, rolling of the eyes is all just a big act - he's a nice guy in real life.

Edit: Not that I've met him, haha.. just from what I've read/heard.

Lol... yes mine too!... it is driving me mad at the moment with all these presenters, they all seem to have a script of word for word things they must say at certain points in the show..... Alex Armstrong is the same on Pointless, he is scripted like mad, do the producers not have enough faith in who they have chosen to present that they can open their mouth and say something ad lib!....

As the Eggheads team contains (arguably) the best quiz players in Britain, it would be a major surprise if they didn't win most of the time.

That's why the challengers can consider it a major achievement on the rare occasions when they defeat the Eggheads.

Amazes me how fast CJ's hair grows.
3 weeks ago he had a cropped hairstyle-i watched it the other night and he had a Kevin Keegan esque perm.

Jasper Carrot on Golden Balls spends most of his time saying
''We're going to a commercial break now''
which rather destroys the flow of the programme

Presumably you have been watching repeats. Pat joined after Barry. He isn't particularly memorable though so it could be that you are actually watching recent episodes and he's been forgotten about!

I've heard both CJ and Judith are nice and friendly. The others less so. Judith admits she's not a quizzer and doesn't read lists, just has a good standard of education. But films, pop music and sport she's all at sea.

CJ has left as he wants to pursue acting.
