Great seeing that team of women of alopecia women beat the Eggs and win £29,000!
That was my thoughts but, did they just get easier questions?

This week's Eggheads are supposedly "new". On last night's show there was a question about the 2015 Oscars (we've had the 2016 ceremony since) and a question asking which party "the MP Jeremy Corbyn" represented. Obviously made before he was in the running for the leadership otherwise nobody would have any problem answering the question (amusing that he was deemed obscure enough at the time of recording for the question to have a degree of difficulty). They seem to keep the shows in the can for so long before broadcast that it would be advisable to avoid "topical" questions.

Eggheads question just then about who pledged to build a wall on the southern boarder as part of the US presidential campaign in 2015

Options were: Jane Fonda, Donald Trump, George Clooney.

What an embarrassingly easy question. At least pick 3 people who're actually running for President.

Hi,

so I'm loving the show and all but it's really cringe-worthy how Judith is always picked for Sport, and Jeremy rubbing it in doesn't help either haha!

Mainly though a feature I'd like to request is to have the quiz question displayed with the answers, ideally at the top of the screen. Often we've found ourselves not knowing what the current question was as we didn't hear it while discussing the previous one!

That's all, let me know what you guys think

Thanks!

I agree, they should not have so much sport when she is in it. Mind you she is pretty useless at other subjects. She just says no idea and makes a guess. She doesn't think it through.

And also that 2 new eggheads will be joining. But through the competition tv show 'make me an egghead'. Going to be exciting.

Any tips for the two spots?

I'll go for Dom Tait and Ailsa Watson, both good quizzers and I suspect those casting the show will want to avoid both proven big hitters and tv newcomers.

That's a shame - CJ is one of the more interesting Eggheads.

It could be anyone. If you didn't know, there's going to be a televised male and female competition and of course the winner becomes an egghead. They're just looking for people to apply atm.

I did know, I just think the producer comes across badly, so think he'll botch the process. Hope I'm wrong as if they let the best people who apply on it should be great fun to watch.

Kevin reigns supreme again in the quizzing world, he has just been announced as this years world champion. Pat finished a credible third & chaser Paul Sinha fourteenth.

2 more Eggheads will be joining the team. A new show called Make Me An Egghead will be looking for the newbies.

All done and dusted I believe, and Jeremy Vine was saying on the radio the other day they've already filmed 50-odd shows with the new line-up.

I understand the Make Me An Egghead series airs in the autumn.

What was wrong with the old show Are You an Egghead?. It seems to say that another egghead will leave. With CJ having already left that is one place, so another will probably leave to create the second spot. I wouldn't be surprised if Chris left the show.

I would much rather it was Lisa or Barry.

I could slap Barry forever!

I don't think anybody else has left other than CJ; it's possibly just to cover for an increased output of episodes.

They film 5 episodes a day 5 days a week. Jeremy just said on The Saturday Show Live that they get mental fatigue filming so many episodes and with Daphne retiring and CJ gone, they need fresh faces to fill the gaps.

The Small Faces were Cockneys..............and sounded like it !
