It has been said before that CJ is a really nice guy off screen. It's a pity that it doesn't come over on the telly.

There's been a trend over the past few years for people to come across as aggressive, nasty, arrogant etc. as it's always fun to have a "pantomime villain"! More often than not, I'm sure its just an act.

The Eggheads are on a good run at the moment. In my opinion 8 of them will be too many. so hopefully as Dave was CJ's replacement he will leave so it will be back to the 7

God yes , the woman does my head in .Nodding sagely when a questions is asked and making absolutely sure we all know she knows the answer . Hand over face when an egg is going to answer wrong and the look of sheer horror at their ignorance is awful to watch .

I wonder how many times they'd get beaten if they didn't have Kevin in that last round though.
All of the Eggheads seem beatable to me, except him. |

Still after win-loss records on the head to heads. When was the last time Ashman lost?
Gettng through a round with the only correct answer of the round the other night is not particularly clever for somebody who supposedly has such tremendous knowledge. |

Another bunch of muppets got thrashed as usual tonight by the eggheads. That elderly prison camp survivor lady was exceptional though but relying on lucky guesses is always going to let you down in the end.

The 89 year lady was amazing. She didn't look her age at all and considering how hard her life must have been at times, she was full of life and energy.

I liked when she even got Barry's last question right.

Tonight's team look quite young. 20-30 age bracket. Usual pattern is 4 of them get knocked out and only 1 left in final round to play eggheads.
Mr 'Music is my round' challenger has been thrashed by Dave already in the first round. |

The woman left in said the highly original "No pressure then" and laughed when facing the Eggheads.
How long has it been since Tarrant first said this - 10 years? and quiz contestants still think they are being amusing uttering this phrase. Please give it a rest, it's really annoying

Having just watched the second half of the program back on my hard disk I see my prediction came true with the usual pattern.Shame that.
I probably shouldn't complain though. It's a long running series and the beeb need the teams to keep coming through. They probably have to manage with whatever teams are available. Least it wasn't the token mid thirty something motherley type housewife charactor that did the films and TV round today. |

It's the same as the sports round where a team young male under 25's know a lot about the top 40 pop charts over the last 15 years but suddenly when faced with a jazz or 1950's chart question, a question about the manuscript sheet or about musical instruments they are having to resort to taking a complete guess. Shows they don't know anywhere near as much about music as they claim.
I must admit my heart drops when I see it's a young team at the start of a program. You just know that unless they can scrape few with a fluke guesses there's probably not going to be much of a fight. If you watch university challenge though it can often be seen that young people can still have incredible knowledge for their age. |

And when has this Dave ever won a round getting all his questions correct without having to make a complete guess at at least one or two of his answers?

Not just that nodding. It always sounds like she's straining to have a bowel movement whenever she speaks.

Yes spot on david. The other one is "I don't know anything about them that was before I was born".
