I noticed this too. I couldn't believe there was no goodbye to Daphne - she just went.
I raised this on another thread and was told Daphne did not want a fuss made about her last show - I thought the Pres announcer last night said farewell to Daphne rather enthusiastically. C.J. did refer to it being his return after two years in tonight's show. According to the Eggheads official web site they are all-new episodes from now until Wimbledon when they take their traditional break.I thought it was rather a pity Jeremy Vine could not present Daphne with a gold watch last night

Todays episode featured a ventriloquist. Jeremy thinks it's entertaining. Methinks it's the beginning of the end.

Your eyes need checking...that was Dermot. The impressionist was quite good, I thought.

Yes, it was a bit of a farce last night. I hope this doesn't begin a trend of silly teams appearing on the show. Eggheads isn't Deal Or No Deal, it doesn't need silly gimmicks.

Pat and Barry saved the Egghead yesterdays. They knew the answers to questions that CJ and Judith didn't have a clue about.

Anyway, how would everyone rate the Eggheads in terms of their usefulness to the team?

1. Kevin

2. Pat

3. Barry (He has a better all round knowledge than Chris, so is more useful to the Eggheads in the Final round)

4. Chris

5. Dave (Tends to know the Sport and Pop culture questions, which the other Eggheads sometimes struggle with. Therefore, I put him ahead of CJ and Judith, who both bring nothing to the table in the Final)

6. CJ

7. Judith

Barry and Pat equal second for me. CJ, Dave and Judith difficult to split.

I take it CJ's acting career did not go as planned then?

And I thought he was going to be the next Al Pacino.

Actually although he makes me want to throw things at the TV with his eye-rolling and super-smugness at least he's not dull like most of the other Eggheads.

There was a question on Monday about the Alexandra Dock for fishing . Chris said that it was in Hull. He was told that the answer was Grimsby. He insisted that there was an Alexandra Dock in Hull......and he was right but it was not a fishing dock

There is an Alexandra dock in both places.....It was a crap question.

I don't recall CJ winning Mastermind or International Mastermind.

CJ is absolutely useless. Constantly correcting the other eggheads when they get an answer wrong but is so consistently knocked out. Today he even had the cheek to correct Kevin. Kevin!!!

How ridicilous did CJ look shaking his head robotically several times when one of the Eggheads got on answer wrong - and he didn't know the extermely well publicised astronuat/Space Oddity answer. Prat.

Is it me or do the other Eggheads not look that happy about having CJ back?

Did he call them all a set of ****s before he flounced?

Who is this Lisa Thiel they've got replace Daphne? Has she been on any other quiz shows? How did she perform?

I hope she's not a massive weak link in the Egghead's team, beating the Eggheads should be a challenge. They've got too many weak members as it is in my opinion.
She was picked out after what the producers thought was a reasonable performance on Revenge of the Egghead. She's been on a few other quiz shows - Weakest Link, The Chase, that sort of thing - but she's not a Mastermind champion or anything.

As for being a weak link, she certainly wouldn't claim to be up there with Kevin or Pat (who would?) but being a full decade younger than the next youngest Egghead (CJ) she does have a bit of an edge in certain areas of pop culture that the rest of the Eggs don't cover. So she manages to bring something a little different to the team.

So the world quiz championships are today. Will an egghead win it or will someone else. I think Pat and Kevin have both won it 4 times but Kevin hasn't won it since 2009.

Exactly, he's always there in the background rolling his eyes but the reason he's back there is that he got knocked out and isn't that good, what a hypocrite.

They should have brought that back when CJ left and again when Daphne did but were obviously scared that two middle-aged white men might win again like the last two series.

I think it'll be won by a Chaser.
