I detest both Eggheads and Pointless and resent how they're established like a pustulent rash on the tea-time schedules.

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?
CJ isn't on a break. They filmed these eps early in the year, which was around the time he was axed following an investigation. They obviously now have his replacement and a new female.

Sounds juicy, investigation into what?

There was a sex attack allegation and he was suspended then the police announced they were taking no further action but the BBC sacked him on the same day. He's now going to South Africa to pursue his film career.

Jesus she is awful

I rarely turn the telly off and walk away from any quiz show - but she was the limit !!

Hope she does not get allowed within a mile of any other quiz show.

I was surprised the eggheads had to guess about the Frank Lampard & Christine Bleakley wedding. I know it's quite a celeb based question but it was plastered all over the news.

Absolute nightmare - pity her poor husband that's if she's married - they might have run out of time when she was asked do you take this man!

It felt totally unecessary considering she knew the answer. I guess she thought since most answers are given following short deliberation, she thought she would do that. The Eggheads smiling and laughing still has me puzzled to as what they were thinking.

Chris won Mastermind
and he is the current holder of the International Mastermind title
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'
Both won 'Who wants to be an Egghead' A big achievement

Thanks for that - didn't know that about Lisa or Dave.

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.
CJ was just a prat

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!

Chris is good at the subjects he is interested in. I also like his character

Chris suffers from being chosen for sport rounds. Almost a guaranteed win for the challengers.
Not always. Chris is not a good guesser Who knew that Judith had won more Sport rounds than any other Egghead

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...
Pat might well be crap at Sport. He is never tested.

I would not have had a clue on that either
Know Frank is a footballer, no idea who Bleakley is
Obviously do not watch or read that kind of reality trash news
Wish they would not put any reality questions in eggheads, does not deserve to be there

The 'Music' category on Eggheads is a travesty. Why do they suppose it all centres around 'pop' music. There are people out there, including myself who can't abide this gentre and wish for more 'classical' music questions. I suppose it comes under the common trend of appealing to the Lowest Common Denominator or dumbing down, generally.
That woman with the awful dyed black hair should have been warned about her wittering on and the show showing another take with it edited out - I know that all TV shows, unless live, are highly edited.
Actually, it's a wonder that 'Mr Shouty' didn't say something sarcastic about here wittering on but anyway please get rid of him - he's dreadful as a presenter.

I don't think so. The 'Make me an Egghead' show is divided into two categories - one male winner, to replace CJ, and one female winner to merely add to the team.

I thought that Judith might be retiring, but there doesn't appear to be any mention of this.

He left some time ago and it's been common knowledge. He's moved to South Africa.

And fat. Seems to be the criteria. The other guy was too slim.
