Thanks for the roundup clever, I missed most of today's but caught the end, looked like an annoying team from what I could tell.
Surprisingly, that was Judith's first sport of the series. She has a 100% record so far!
Thats okay I was wondering if the posts were of any use so im glad they are!

The team werent too annoying although the girl that was playing Judith on Sport had Daphne's guessing skills. She didnt know anything on Sport.

Well Judith does have more wins on Sport than all other Eggheads combined! It seems though like picking Judith for Sport is becoming a thing of the past and Chris seems to be taking it over!

I want to see the Eggheads singing Firestarter now. Shame it's not available online anymore.

I haven't watched the show for about 5 years but decided to watch tonight's, I only half-recognised 2 of the eggheads.

Anyway, in the final round Beth instantly answers, "Stone Roses, definitely", followed by Dave saying, "Right well just take your time on this 'cos I don't think it's Happy Mondays", then he discusses Blur's records and tours, ending with him announcing, ".... I'm fairly certain that's the first new studio material that the Stone Roses have got, if everyone's happy with that. I'm fairly certain".

Nods all round as Dave takes the kudos.

I know they have to pad the show out but I've taken an instant dislike to Dave and felt sympathy for Beth.

Pat is getting chosen on fewer and fewer occasions - especially if Kevin is off.

They might disagree there.

I watch it when I can but what has happened to CJ - did he really get charged with murder in the end?

My understanding of the murder (well, from what I've read in the media) is that it appears there's no or very little evidence it happened.

He was arrested in September but there was a problem with the arrest warrant and so he was not extradited to the Netherlands. He's not been charged with anything yet and I don't think there's an awful lot of evidence but the police in the Netherlands are investigating.

Rather warped view of what actually happened. He was only being ultra careful as have other eggheads in the past.

C.J. had already left Eggheads (for the second time) before the murder story broke.

I wrote exactly what happened, my only view was whether I liked it or not.

Pat and Kevin only seem to get chosen because one of them has to play when both of them are playing. The thing with Pat and Kevin is that they dont seem to have any weak spots. You could argue that Kevin is weak on Food and Drink but he still manages to win on it most of the time. Kevin and Pat are such good all round quizzers that teams would rather pick Eggheads on their weak subjects (such as Judith or Chris on Sport) which Kevin and Pat just dont have.

Okay thanks (and to other repliers) so rest assured we won't be seeing him as an Egghead again.

I've really taken to Lisa.

She's often a breath of fresh air and can bring an alacrity to the sometimes stuffy proceedings.

Her comment today about waking up in her underwear was very funny. Before it seemed like the humour was a facade for a lack of knowledge but she's really upped her game this series.

Steve is seriously good, very impressed. Still hasn't lost in the final round.

I feel for Beth, she looks like she's taking losses quite badly, I suspect she may leave if it doesn't improve.

Stats roundup should be next week when I finally get Wifi back, my dodgy 3G won't last much longer!

I wondered when it was the last time a contestant actually chose to go second. Seems everyone wants to go first these days.

The second set of questions are usually a little harder to try and catch out the chasers. Such as Rap questions always being in the second set of Music questions. Most people like to go first to put the pressure on the Eggheads as well.

Yes I really look forward to the last game of the week on a Friday and switch over only to find some programme called Strictly Come Dancing is on.
