I think the chap who devises University Challenge questions should have been asked questions that were so long and convoluted that he lost the original gist by the end.

If it's even possible, the guy that won today's show Ian seemed to be a more annoying version of CJ, had the same sort of mannerisms
We took an instant dislike to him.What makes Kevin, Pat and Barry watchable is a relative humbleness. Whereas blokey last night came across as simply being a big-head. BTW, what's the betting on anyone ever choosing Judith as their backroom boffin. |

The eggheads chosen in the episodes so far are in line with my own preferences:
1 Kevin 2 Pat 3 Barry 4 It's basically all the same after that. I think we'll have to get used to Ian, can't see him being beaten |

Although he got a good total ,the guy last night reminded me of those aliens with big foreheads in the first episodes of star trek and he was droning on to the point of sheer boredom
The other guy said he was a Uni challenge question setter, I think not, he was probably one of the poorest so far Still prefer the guy on day one, he was more an egghead to me |

Ian was pretty impressive I thought last night - will take quite a bit of beating.

According to my tv screen guide - Make Me An Egghead goes on for 25 episodes! Surely the search could be done in two weeks - ten episodes? Seems a bit dragged out.

Wow 21. Brilliant score. That will be very hard to beat.

Two not so good people on Friday and the winner was arrogant not picking Kevin.

Looking likely Ian will be a new egghead then.

He's a interesting fella, very much like CJ. I wonder if some of the Eggheads picked up on the similaritys.

Yeah, they seemed a lot weaker than any of the current lot. I think he felt pressurised into picking Kevin. Mind you, Kevin so far in this format has been like a prolific striker going through a barren spell.

Unless that Olav Bjortomt fellow gives this show another go, I can't see Mr. Bayley being toppled.

Well with Judith being chosen the other day, I'm fully expecting Lisa to go through the show and not get picked once. Even (not so) 'tremendous knowledge' has been picked a couple of times already.
They are daft to ignore Chris. Yes he is weak on Sport but he does know a lot. There would appear to be no point interrupting the quick fire questions and giving a quick answer as Jeremy carries on to ask the full question even when they are correct Today, it cost the winner the time to answer another question which could make a lot of difference at the end of the day

Shocked they didn't know the Bob Hawke answer. He did so much for Australia's drinking reputation with entry in the record books.

I've given up on these episodes.........I can't see the point of having eggheads there just in case they get picked and just in case the contestant asks them for advice
and Jeremy spending 10 minutes every show explaining the convoluted format Give the eggs a holiday and just have a contest between the contestants |

My thoughts exactly, it is stupid having the eggheads help the contestants, they should be on their own.

Did make me laugh that bloke picked Lisa and she was clueless and just waffled her way through, all she had to say was I do not know
Neither of those guys were good, but in the quick fire round he dis well Did feel they were very easy quick fire questions compared to previous episodes |
