That was a really poor, easy question about Bull Run. May as well have asked, which of these was an eastern US state in the civil war.

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. |

Are you collecting appearance statistics. Will be interesting to see which Eggheads appear most and which appear least.
I'd love for them to release all the past statistics they'd make fascinating reading. |

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 do have a bit of a girl crush on her too! )

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

![]() It's been a modest start by the two newbies, especially Beth. Pat and Barry considerably strengthened the established team when they joined but it is hard to say the same since then. |

I think I'm becoming addicted to Eggheads. Settled down happily to watch it on Friday only to discover that blimmin Strictly had taken over even that slot! Its like televisual lava, engulfing everything in its wake.
![]() Just to add to the mix, I like Lisa and Judith. They give the team good specialist knowledge but sadly are often picked the most for their weaker subjects, quite understandably. The new line-up seems to be shaping into an interesting combo, and with Kevin and Pat being in the green room for a greater proportion of episodes, it might make them more vulnerable. I await those stats with interest.

Is Lisa pregnant? I caught something on twitter about it but I can't find it confirmed. Quote:

I really like the new ones, Steve's won 3/4 rounds so far, Beth 2/4 (both on Geography) and I think their knowledge complements the team. Wish it was on Fridays as well! |

I'll be watching as it'll be very interesting how the BBC can make a doc stating how much of a monster he was back in the day while at the same time still employing him. And to be fair Jimmy is thr reason why they sacked DJ Tony Blackburn. They felt if they could sack some high profie persone for somethong that was actually cleard up back in about 1971 then we wouldn't still be talking about Jimmy when the report about him came out. And here we are with a show talking about him and his victoms.

I'm totally addicted these days, best quiz show on TV! I love the fact it runs in order, so they can't manufacture a certain number of wins per week by placing episodes like other quizzes do. Getting to know the different peronalities of the Eggheads is also fun. I really like the new ones, Steve's won 3/4 rounds so far, Beth 2/4 (both on Geography) and I think their knowledge complements the team. Wish it was on Fridays as well! Eggheads will be back on Fridays once Strictly has finished. |

Cock up on the question front tonight, "The American actor Clifton James"!!!! M.E.Clifton James was born in Australia but most would describe him as British. Not only impersonated Monty in WW2, but played himself in the film I Was Monty's Double.

Eggheads poor tonight. Dave has lost 3/4 rounds and Chris both of his 2. Impressed with Lisa so far she's won 3/3.

Lisa is arguably the third most knowledgeable egghead,.
Shes definitely not the worst. I'd rank the eggheads in this order, (excluding the new two): 1st Kevin 2nd Pat 3rd LIsa / Barry 4th Dave 5th Chris / Judith Barry hasnt been all that wonderful recently, he let down a couple of contestants on MMAE and hasnt performed all that well since. Dave is a good quizzer but does have areas that let him down. The thing with Lisa is that she is very good at current TV, Music and Film which other Eggheads are not as good at and that makes her look stronger in many ways. That said she has performed very well so far. For me it would be 1. Kevin 2. Pat 3. Barry 4. Chris 5. Dave 6. Lisa 7. Judith |

History is probably her best subject. Think most of the Eggheads are good at that subject. Dave probably the worst at it.
Judith - History Pat - Science Barry - History Chris - History Dave - Sport Lisa - Film and Television/Music Kevin - History Kevin probably the strongest at History as well. |

Cant say that i agree with the lower half of this list. I do agree that Kevin and Pat should be numbers 1 and 2 but i wouldnt say that Lisa is 3rd. Judith and Chris often get called the worst just because they have an obvious flaw in their knowledge (Sport) however they are very good. For instance during Make me an Egghead Chris was the one egghead that came straight out with the answers. Where as Kevin seemingly struggled.
Barry hasnt been all that wonderful recently, he let down a couple of contestants on MMAE and hasnt performed all that well since. Dave is a good quizzer but does have areas that let him down.
