Lisa - I love how sometimes she discusses with Kevin or Pat and you can see that they both know very well she's wrong, but still let her carry on and then just nicely let her down and go ahead and persuade her that their answer is correct.

He is fed up of answering questions on Sport The sole challenger last Friday had a very easy ride to win the money |

Chris and sport - yep, he must be, but it's one of his weakest areas and a good chance for the opposing team to beat him - same as Kevin on Food and Drink. |

Dave won a quarter of a million on 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'
Judith, I believe, was the first person to win a Million on 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' Lisa was head-hunted after appearing on an Eggheads spin-off show Kevin is a multiple World Quiz Champion and winner of Mastermind, 15-1, Brain of Brtain (radio 4) etc Chris won Mastermind Barry is the lightweight as he only won 64K on Who wants to be a Millionaire and only made the semi-final of Mastermind. He has however won Brain of Britain on the radio Pat was another million pound winner on 'Who Wants' |

He has however won Brain of Britain on the radio Pat was another million pound winner on 'Who Wants' Pat has been World Quiz Chamption as well (couple of years back I think he beat Kevin to it). To me, Dave, Lisa and Judith are the weakest, followed by Barry and Chris and Kevin and Pat are the strongest. CJ would come in somewhere around the Barry/Chris level I think. |

I find it hard to watch these days. I only give it a chance if that annyoying Lisa isn't there. People learned the hard way about CJ, in that if he appeared i would launch a verbal tirade at the screen and no one would hear the questions. So glad he's gone.
I just find it getting more and more boring. And just answer the bloody question, don't explain why the other two options are incorrect. 'What is 1 + 1? Is it 1,2 or 3'? 'Well, aha, yes, now, i know it isn't 3 because that would be 1 + 2 etc etc blah blah blah'!!! |

The first question in each "specialist" round is an insult to the Egghead's intelligence - they are usually not much more difficult than Tipping Point standard (OK the three counter questions)! Probably wouldn't challenge any of the Eggheads, other than perhaps "not overly endowed with knowledge" Dave!

He did - couldn't believe that final question for the Eggheads though - but was very pleased that I guessed right at Daniel Craig!

Chris and sport - yep, he must be, but it's one of his weakest areas and a good chance for the opposing team to beat him - same as Kevin on Food and Drink. I think Pat has been knocked out less than 5 times this series, even if he doesn't get picked much. |

The thing that annoys me most about Dave is his over the top clapping at the end of each episode!
I get you want to applaud the team for giving it a go but he just seems to make his applause so over the top every single time! |

I enjoy Eggheads, especially now the irritating Daphne and CJ have left.
I like how Jeremy winds them up sometimes. Lisa is warm and self-deprecating, Dave comes over as quite insecure. Barry is maybe the most intellectual but seems to have taken on Daphne's role of needing to show that he knows the answer to others' questions. Pat is clever but chunters on too much, giving too much info for every answer. Maybe why he isn't picked so much. Judith is sweet and so polite and quietly spoken. Kevin is amazing. No showboating, just an incredible knowledge and recall. I've singled out Chris for special mention because lately he seems to be the one in the sin bin (as I call it) most often. He blurts out answers without any forethought and reasoning. Don't know if anyone keeps a tally of sin binnners but, for my money, Chris is on a sticky wicket. I'm surprised he's still there!

Make me an Egghead starts next week, so that should be an excellent break from the norm.

Love eggheads, watch it without fail
Really wish Lisa would go, so annoying woman, witters on and on and not an egghead in my view Every day they show CJ in the titles, but not seen him for ages, has he taken a break Love CJ Was not sure about Dave at the beginning but he has been a great egghead and is so honest when wrong and works well with all the other eggheads The level of some of the teams has been poor lately, how do they get on there in the first place amazes me, do they have heats or trials? |

I know if I were ever to be a contestant it's exactly what I'd be doing! And Kevin would get Food and Drink. I've not yet spotted a weak subject with Pat to be honest...

He's been terrible at sport since day one but doesn't seem to have any inclination to try and improve, he's had plenty of time to do so!

![]() Have you noticed that Greek mythology crops up regularly as a final round question? Seems very skewed in the Eggheads' favour to me. A favourite topic for Eggheads but not something non pro quizzers have in their knowledge base usually. If you want to get up a team then study that! |
