He left some time ago and it's been common knowledge. He's moved to South Africa.
i do not read the reality press so not common knowledge for me i asked a few of my avid eggheads friends just now in debenhams changing room and no one knew he had gone for good or even the young girls on the room door Shame though as he was a good knowledgeable egghead, and quirky His solo show he did was not good though, just a boring format |

Thought it was meant to be an egg cosy or tea cosy. Then I have been told it is a hat as worn in Nepal.

The standard today is terrible, can't believe these 2 have come through any kind of serious selection process.

I have to admit it they both improved as the show went on. Could still have done without the hat though

So they are looking for one woman and one man then with the leaderboard
The hat woman was better in the last round but both started off poor, the other woman just seemed to be a good guesser and she thought crocs lived in trees Get rid of the hat, rude to wear one indoors, get some manners dear She a Glastonbury dropout and a vegan, too whacky, no to her |

I saw her a little while ago at a big pub quiz that also included Kevin and Pat. I don't remember them actually being there together (although Kevin and Pat were) but she presumably knows them. Her comment about Dave also made it sound like she knows him. |

As mentioned above, yes she was on OC before and I think also that show that was based on Boggle.

Wacky hats is very much Marianne's schtick. (Although I don't think Mastermind allowed her to wear one.)

People with no personality, or poor personality, often resort to hats. . .

The problem I have with the wacky hat person was that she didn't come across very well on camera. A bit awkward, failing to make eye contact. I'm surprised since I would have thought they would have some sort of audition process, their general knowledge being only part of what makes for an Egghead personality.
No doubting her ability but I don't think I would want to watch her on a regular basis.

There are two separate leader boards, for ladies and gents.
She has indeed. ![]() Will Lisa ever get chosen to help ? ![]() ![]() Too much emphasis is going to be on the quick fire round.

You don't need a scintillating personality for Eggheads. Having a supreme general knowledge is enough.

i'm guessing if there were many applicants that had a reputation for winning other shows like both guys yesterday, she would of been pitched against one of them.
I'm sure there will be ladies of equivalent calibre to her in future shows, they'll just meet up in the knockout rounds. Quote:

Marianne mumbled, she sat slumped forward in her chair and I even wondered if she might be on the autistic spectrum. It was an uneasy experience watching her. My husband felt the same. |

I though the quickfire round said much more about the contestant's general knowledge range and ability than the traditional multiple choice format.
By my personal benchmark of 6 - 7 correctly answered questions in each Mastermind general knowledge round, I thought the questions were pretty tough - I scored only 6 against Marianne's 10 or so - which tells me that just based upon that round, the question standard was pretty high, not too far shy of Mastermind; or of course I could just have had a tough day! Anyone else think the quickfire round was reasonably difficult? |
