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 By my reckoning he should've been in last 2 episodes but has been replaced by Pat (E19) and Dave (E20)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.
He had to have some physio on his back.

One of the failings of the weakest link.

I loved it when Jeremy teased her to say that the answer was JK Rowling and then told her that she was wrong

Quick fire rounds should have no place in Eggheads. They should have proceeded as in previous contests

Chris was chosen and did not let her down. Dave tried to give an intelligent guess as usual as it was not on sport or TV. I like Dave but he does not have tremendous knowledge

She has been picked
Yes, Judith has been on 14 shows and has been picked to help 3 times. Of these 3 she got 2 questions wrong and wasn't used the 3rd time.

Gary was the only person in the building who didn't know that BTO answer. Music definitely not his strong point

It will be for all these Semi Finals being 45 minute episodes.

For some reason both Finals are going to be in one 45 minute long episode which really doesn't seem right.

Very Strange.

Still unhappy with the format. Just because you happen to win the first round should not give you the right to have the best egghead. They should be picked randomly before the final round.

Loved it that Judith knew the answer.

Pathetic that Lisa just pretended that she knew her answer

Lol I can't believe I've never seen that episode, I'm in absolute tears at Mari's voting board - Drawing of Chris's head with "choo choo zzzzzz" written on hahaha.

He was almost as unhappy with being voted off as CJ was with the contestant who never banked.

I cheered very loudly when the weirdo was relegated out of the top four.

Well on last night's showing I wouldn't be surprised to see Gerard win the whole thing - he does seem pretty good (if also somewhat annoying...).

- don't mind any of the other women actually - although I do think Frankie is probably the strongest overall

I just don't get the so-called 'Music' round. To my mind it's nearly always what I call Pop music which to me is anathema as I know very little about this music. I vaguely recall the Beatles until they went all luvvy and druggy and so any music after the sixties draws a complete blank for me. One might occasionally get a question about classical or related genres but they're very few and far between.
At least with University Challenge now, nearly all the music questions are classical related, thank goodness.

So if tonight is the first women's semi, tomorrow the second men's and Thursday the second women's, how's the final on Friday going to work? Back to the short-format game, with half of the 45 minutes devoted to the men's final and half to the women's? (I'm assuming they'd want both the male and the female winner to be unveiled on the same show.)

Red button so you can flick between the men's and women's final
Semi final 2 starting now.
