He is merely giving the eggheads the chance to demonstrate their knowledge.

He regularly says a contestant is unlucky if he/she gets knocked out, even if they were not unlucky at all and just got three guesses wrong.
Well, that is pretty unlucky isn't it?

Especially cringeworthy tonight, banging on and on about Leicester bloody City and getting the bloke (who can't sing) to sing.

Vine must go !!

Not just that but he has just started to say that Pat is known as the silent assasin. When in fact it is just Jeremys head that has told him that and he thinks that it is funny. It isnt. Vine is just a prat on Eggheads.

Not when they are blatantly guessing and not putting any thought into the guessing, it isn;t, (eg: I have gone down the middle because Judith does this as an explanation for a crap guess).
Don;t deserve any luck, in this situation.

Steve has played 6 final rounds and has not lost any of them so far which is the best record from the Eggheads.

Kevin, Pat and Lisa are the only ones to have not lost an individual round yet.

Felt sorry for Beth today, she looked like she was close to tears after she lost her Science round.

I do like it when people think they're clever and try to show off.
After her husband identified LLanfair PG correctly his wife said she could say the full-name.

But she got it wrong - she said:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgyllgerychllllantisiliogogogoch

She put in one too many 'gyll's and left out a 'go' and 'wyrndrobwll'.
Llanfair*pwllgwyngyll*gogery*chwyrn*drobwll*llan*tysilio*gogo*goch

Well done for keeping the stats. Who'd have thought it, Leicester last year, Liza this year!
It's hard to compare "batting averages", I suppose, because they never have the same number of games played and Kevin/Pat are called upon less often than the others.

Thanks! I'll keep posting regular updates.

But that's why their Eggheads, they have wide-ranging knowledge across all the subjects (supposedly.) And they don't always answer on their worst subject because it doesn't always come up.

Well done Nat !

seemed like a nice girl too........

Disappointed with the Eggheads, 5 against 1 they should really win especially with Pat and Kevin on the team. They can't seem to get a run going this series which is a shame.

It is a shame that the Eggheads have already lost 4 times this series. It always makes it more interesting when the guests are playing for anything over £10,000. When the challengers are only playing for £1,000 it just doesnt seem that big of an occasion.

Eggheads are weaker with the two new team members.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there.

With Steve in the final round, the Eggheads haven't lost. They've won 7 times with him.

With Beth in the final round, the Eggheads haven't lost. They've won 5 times with her.

The Eggheads with the worst record in the final round are actually Kevin and Pat with 3 losses each.

Do you know how many times Kevin and Pat have both appeared in the final round (I'm guessing the probability of them being there is pretty high as they neither of them lose very often in the head to heads last night excepted of course)?

Well, like me she probably appreciates 'music' and not the skewed idea of what music constitutes on Eggheads. The questions are nearly always 'Pop' music with very little Classical music.
I know nothing about popular music as it is know today and so, from my point of view this category stinks and I fast forward as much as possible during this round.
