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. |

Was glad the Eggheads won yesterday - something about the challengers which I just couldn't warm to.
Chris and Sport is becoming a bit of a certainty isn't it sadly - I think sometimes he just switches off ... Reminds me of a team mate years ago when our village entered an Inter Village quiz who was the same - sport was just a complete no-no for her, even if she had a quite guessable question.... |

It's turned into the Jeremy Vine show. He cannot keep his mouth shut so it's almost nothing but 30 minutes of the sound of his voice. He's just too full of himself. It's really spoiling my enjoyment. He also says "Yeeees" when the answer to the question is "No".

Jeremy Vine's voice is intensely irritating and doesn't seem to be able or want to modulate it at all - it's shout all the time.

I thought Judith did really well there and her questions were much harder than the challenger.
The questions do seem to be quite unbalanced on Eggheads, you either get the easy questions or the hard ones. |

This really annoys me. A contestant gives an answer and he says 'yes' then pauses and says 'no that's not the right answer', it's ridiculous. If I were a contestant I'd be tempted to pull him up on it.

I also stopped watching because of Vines irritating voice. That and his constant fawning over the eggheads.

I don't mind Jeremy but Lisa makes me cringe.

Rare moment for Pat to be knocked out today on Music.

I couldn't warm to that team and was glad they lost, at the beginning saying they said they weren't very good and then the guy blasting Beth away on History, just annoyed me. As a special Tuesday treat, here's another individual stats roundup: ![]() Kevin "The Grandmaster" Ashman: W 6 L 1 86% Pat "The Silent Destroyer" Gibson: W 6 L 1 86% Steve Cooke: W 11 L 2 85% Lisa Thiel: W 8 L 2 80% Barry "The Brain" Simmons: W 9 L 3 75% Chris "The Locomotive" Hughes: W 5 L 3 63% Beth Webster: W 7 L 6 54% Dave "Tremendous Knowledge" Rainford: W 3 L 4 43% Judith "The Rocket" Keppel: W 3 L 6 33% |

I'm really impressed with Steve so far, that's 12 final rounds he's been in now and the Eggheads have won in all of them. Him and Dave performed really well under pressure today.

Beth's loss today makes her have a 50:50 record this season. She doesnt seem to enjoy being an Egghead that much it seems. She has appeared fairly unhappy most of the time, even when winning.
Steve looks like he's settled in fine on the other hand. |

I know what you mean, she does seem to have an unhappy look on her face , I think it affects her a lot when she loses which gets less as you become a more experienced quizzer I imagine.

Vine being irritating again. Pat did a shoulder role in the last episode and today Vine is claiming that it is his trademark. He did it once. Vine just being a pain again. He is the worst thing about the program.

Today's team is possibly one of the worst I've seen, which was amusing in it's own way.

They really were terrible weren't they! Particuarly the first girl, she had no idea about anything. Seemed like she was there to make up the numbers! Mind you though the team certainly was entertaining.

I loved the way that they all seemed to hone straight in on the right answer and then say 'well, don't think it's ........'.

Steve has been excellent since he came in. He is particularly good at figuring out questions that he doesnt know. His process of elimination is excellent. He doesnt seem to have too many weak spots either. While he is not at Kevin or Pat's standard it could be argued that he is perhaps the best of the rest. But really it is too early to tell.
