I class myself as an average quizzer at best, but I know that Churchill was born in 1874 and died in January 1965 at the age of 90.
As do I, but I didn't know how old he was when he died, so wasn't sure when he was born.

Ask me something obscure on Geography and I would probably be better informed. not everyone can be an expert on everything. I know diddly squat about "celebrity culture" (an oxymoron if ever there was one).

Indeed, didn't see the Make Me An Egghead shows but it's strange to see new faces with the regulars.

I think the two new ones are alright, and what a treat to be able to watch it without the irritating Lisa bursting into song at the least opportunity.

I liked the newbies seemed down to earth and not too up themselves.

I really like the newbies.

Now get rid of Judith, she knows near to nothing.

The new eggheads didn't do too well tonight! Thought they'd last at least a week before getting beaten, not two days! It seems like they both have their own weaknesses.

They're still both quite likable though, and there's still plenty of time to adapt to the role of course and they're much better than the useless ones on there - i.e Judith. Still puzzles me why she's still on there

Not the original person who posted that comment

But from my point of view

Talks too much, when it's not needed.

Judith is incredibly intelligent, she perhaps the strongest Egghead on Arts and Books. You dont win Who Wants to Be a Millionaire without being very bright. She fully merits her place on the panel. She is only perceived to be the weakest due to her usually being the one that isnt in the final. That 90% of the time is down to her losing on Sport.

Another Judith fan here - and agree with clever3000 - she is the one you want for a slightly obscure Arts or even classical History/Mythology question (apart from Kevin and Pat obviously) - it's just that she seems to be the default pick for Sport or Science which she's weak on and that's why she seems to lose a lot. Having watched Make Me and Egghead though, I wonder how Kevin and Pat would get on if they kept getting picked on Sport...

Quite possibly. In our household she is known simply as The Mouth. Apart from which she bears an alarming resemblance to Mrs. Potato Head.

Ah well - I may be in a minority of one, but at least I'm individual!

I like Lisa as well! I think people tend to dislike her because of her sarcastic remarks and how she didn't actually earn her place on the eggheads like the others!

I actually think she's better than Judith and even Dave on most topics.

We must be some kind of rare breed of human!

I can't help thinking that when the contestant calls him Tremendous Knowledge Dave, he's taking the piss.

Beth out. Her questions weren't as hard.

I'm collecting statistics for this series so it'll be interesting to see who gets picked most on which subject and who has the best records etc.
