I think when they are in the normal competition, they are as much on the spot as they are here. They all obviously have their specialist subjects, and a pretty wide general knowledge and can probably make a reasonable guess at most questions - but put them on the spot on a subject they don't know well, and without the usual thinking time, and when it's important to the contestant that they are honest, I can understand their reluctance to give a definitive answer.
I doubt very much that they will do it this way again - the Eggs haven't looked particularly good in it, and it must be demoralising to see that Kevin and Pat/Barry were the firm favourites of all the contestants. It really showed the Eggs (and the producers) which of them the viewers rate as assistants. |

Of course in normal Egg heads , some of them don't get to answer some of the questions asked on here. For example Kevin and Pat rarely get sport questions, it's always poor Judith or Chris.

If I was ever to go on Eggheads (as if) - I'd definitely now be thinking that Sport could be a good choice for Pat or Kevin as on the evidence of this series, both could be beatable on it...

I haven't really got any preference between the 2 women finalists tonight, but of the men I would like to see Steve win.
He seemed really surprised to beat Ian in the semi-final - plus he's promised his son a Dog if he wins..... |

I like both the ladies so either would be fine.

It has been very odd - I can recall Judith when she was picked being certain and the same with Chris on a couple of questions, but Kevin and Pat in particular have both been very off their game.
As somebody said upthread it must be quite demoralising to be Lisa/Dave/Judith and even Chris, seeing Kevin and Pat getting picked first each time. Maybe when they next need a new Egghead they should be dished out randomly once the head to heads are over rather than letting the contestant choose as each round finishes. |

It'll be interesting to see how the final is handled, will it be straight general knowledge head to heads for the Male & Females? With 15 minutes of back patting at the end?
