Agreed, though 'old' really means what it says on the tin. Like G. Boycott, anything after c.1959 is of little interest to Chris! On another subject, [b]I don't understand why Jeremy should comment on the likelihood of an answer being correct. Yesterday, he told the contestant that Pat sounded about 80:20 certain before the contestant answered. Why say anything at all, given that he has the answer?[b/]
I honestly believe that each contestant has a prepared set of questions regardless of who goes first. |

This could be the chance they need to dump her
Oh please, please, please,I do hope it's true, she has single handedly ruined the show for me. I just cannot watch whenever she's on it. |

I know it's a couple of weeks old now, but Nikki (the blind one) in her first round, it seemed like she had an unusual number of points added at the end of the quickfire, and then by the next episode (of women) her total had decreased?
I'm probably making this up or did this happen? I've lost interest in this programme, one of the people always seems to get easier questions, sadly it's usually the one who would fill a gap they don't currently have in the Eggheads (I don't want this to be true but I can't help thinking it is.) |

Was it wrong of me to enjoy that car crash of a last round by DOCTOR Jane ? (she's a DOCTOR you know!).

I was still trying to work out her choice of eggheads. Chris? Dave?? Lisa??? And then ask Dave about a literature question? Still at least Kevin got to repair to the green room a little earlier.

This Doctor Jane really does seem very arrogant to demand Dr Jane on her name badge. Ian Bayley for instance is also a Dr and didnt have Dr Ian on his name badge. I have to say im quite pleased she didnt qualify as Dr Jane would be incredibly irritating on the main program after a couple of episodes.
With the Kevin thing it wouldnt surprise me if the producers of the show asked both contestants not to pick him. It would be done to try and make the other Eggheads seem even in knowledge. Either that or Dr Jane really has something against Kevin. He is an obvious pick. |

I don't think Judith's been chosen yet, has she? Or did I miss it?

Stupid woman deserved to have a failure in the final round! I did like Chris merrily giving the right answers when Dave was giving wrong ones too on a couple of occasions, although I do quite like Dave - and on Sport and TV he is pretty strong. |

Perhaps not picking Kevin was a cunning psychological experiment to see how he would cope with the humiliation of rejection. Quite brilliant on good old Janey's behalf. She would regard it as being immodest to comment but I have a hunch that she has a Doctorate in Psychology.
Slightly more seriously, maybe she wanted to show us that someone of her ability could do without Kevin and even let her opponent have him. |

Today they changed the way the line-up of eggheads was decided. Line-up should have been - From L to R:
Barry, Chris, Judith, Kevin, Dave Instead Pat was in Chris's place - I wonder why they changed. |

I'm hoping that today's female winner does exceptionally well in the speed round.

Man who won yesterday was almost a like for like CJ replacement. Eye rolling and all. Which made it all the more satisfying when he didn't get through!

I preferred the first 2 to the last 2. Will it be Steve vs Ian and Gary vs Gerard (ie 1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd) do you think?
Either way I still think it'll be Ian Bayley that joins the Eggheads. . |

Very poor standard so far today, considering how they were both bigged up in the intros.

Why are the Eggs so useless in the last round?

What's happened to Chris? By my reckoning he should've been in last 2 episodes but has been replaced by Pat (E19) and Dave (E20)
Hope he's OK. |
