Lovely team today, Chris was in a bit of a mood thoug wasn't he!

Well done Beth as well, great answer in the final round.
I was pleased to see that as well - Beth's not been as strong as Steve since joining, but on occasions like yesterday she really proves her worth.

Bit of a damp show I thought. The captain of the challengers seemed to like laughing at his own jokes, Jeremy was rambling on so much I thought the show would run over.

He also has this knack of being able to piss off each Egghead in seperate ways!

Then they all disregarded Steve in the final round. If there's one thing we know from my stats, listen to Steve in the final round!

He was - and it showed why it's not wise to pick him on it!

Good to see him getting something other than sport.

Must admit - I was thinking, as Steve seemed pretty sure and the others were just going on the person who does most collaborations they should have gone with him.

Steve got the softest question ever yesterday: In which region of Spain is Barcelona?. Multiple choice to boot. I knew he'd give us his gamut of facial expressions when the question on down-in-that-there-London came up!

The results for the World Quizzing Championships from last year are up and here is how the Eggheads got on.

1 - Kevin Ashman (Strongest Subject - History, Weakest Subject - Science)
3 - Pat Gibson (Strongest Subject - Science, Weakest Subject - Entertainment)
51 - Barry Simmonds (Strongest Subject - History, Weakest - Subject Sport)
496 - Beth Webster (Strongest Subject - Lifestyle, Weakest Subject - History)

None of the other Eggheads took part. But some of the other MMAE contestants took part. Gerard Mackay, who was runner up in MMAE finished 79th while Ian Bayley finished 7th. Frankie Fanko who finished in the top 4 in the womens section on MMAE was ranked 334th.

Seeing as there is always seen as a slight rivalry between Eggheads and The Chase, The Chasers stats from it are as follows.

Only 2 Chasers took part

Paul Sinha finished 14th
Anne Hegerty finished 55th

Pat and Kevin's stats match with mine. Result!

Good episode tonight, very nice team who clearly knew their stuff but the Eggheads are on real form at the moment.

Go Judith on Sport!

I have to say those stats did surprise me slightly. Barry being weakest on Sport was particularly surprising to say the least. There seems to be a perception from the challengers that Barry and Dave are the ones to avoid on Sport. Yet Kevin was the highest scorer out of all the Eggheads when it came to sport at the World Quiz Championships.

It seems like Beth is starting to really hit her stride which is good to see and of course Judith's magical sport run is just fantastic to see!

Have to admit, I couldn't think of his real name off the top of my head, but as soon as the choices came up then I knew who 2 of them were so process of elimination.

I was a bit when he said he'd never heard of Suggs though....

That an Oxford medical student has never heard of the word chagrin was even more baffling.

Judith attempting to do 'northern' was hilarious!

Surprised Kevin got knocked out on the Paul Pogba question, I would have thought the details of a new world record fee is something that quizzers would commit to memory straight away?

Judith loses on Geography
Steve wins on Politics
Kevin loses on Sport
Pat wins on Film and Television

Dave, Steve and Pat lose meaning the challengers win £6,000

The next show is for £1,000

Surprising to see Kevin go out on what was a fairly simple question that even Chris or Judith could have got.

First Steve gets ignored this week and now Pat gets ignored in the Final Round. The Eggheads aren't quite conferring well enough at the moment. First ever loss for Steve in the final round as well if im not mistaken

Although he got the question right Steve the egghead using the 'before my time' excuse is unforgivable.

Wow! Eggheads very poor today.

You are correct - Steve's first loss in the final round.

Kevin really should have got that question - he may be number 1 in the world but he's 3rd or below on Eggheads, I wonder why?

Team: very knowledgeable, but not very likeable, team name was pretty pretentious I thought and Jeremy seemed to love them for it.

Also, Pat has now been involved in 4 final round defeats, the highest of any Egghead. I feel like he could speak up a lot more and assert himself - the question where he thought the word was Welsh, for example.
