I like Lisa, and I'm looking forward to seeing her episodes. She's not as good as Daphne, but in fairness to her she is considerably younger than Daphne. For a woman in her mid-30s, she is unusually knowledgable, and I think will be able to take on challengers pretty well. I've seen her Weakest Link episode - she was only 21 at the time, but she got to the final and was generally very quick, both with answering questions and with retorting to Anne's comments.
I also like her because she seems very approachable. I follow her on Twitter, and whenever I tweet her, she always responds very quickly, usually within the hour. In fairness, she probably has been chosen partially to do with her personality because she's entertaining and has the ability to come out with articulate and humorous remarks on the spot, but that certainly isn't the only reason. She's a strong quizzer, especially at the age she is, and in time she will probably get even better. Her wit and humour are an added bonus. |

I find her intensely irritating and I often have to either mute the tv or turn over when she is in the question room. Daphne and CJ used to irritate me but not any more. Maybe I'm just a miserable old biddy !!! |

She's confident. Nothing wrong in that.

Why are BBC airing episodes from 3 years ago? At least show some recent episodes, these belong on Challenge!

I assume they have to put the brakes on showing new episodes every now and then because they haven't enough in the can and they'd run out.
Anyone know when new episodes are due to be aired? |

Episodes from late 2014-2015 would still be better than the episodes shown now though!

I find Lisa more annoying than CJ too. I love to hate CJ but he is less annoying than he used to be.
Chris is the worst though. Tremendous Knowlege Dave and Judith are my faves but i like Barry too. |

I usually record it and watch it when I get up; so miss that part.

One thing I have noticed with Eggheads recently is that Dave always makes a point of applauding and saying "Well played" to the challengers when they're unsuccessful; I think this makes a change as it used to be pretty "matter of fact" when the Eggs won

I despise CJ more than ever.
![]() ![]() Dave does not have tremendous knowledge. He's a very nice chap and it's unfair to saddle him with such a silly name.
