Eggheads

I'm bumping this because I had a flawless run tonight. And I mean flawless. I got every single fucking question right- even the sudden death ones. CJ got knocked the fuck out cos he didn't know that Ethlebert was the anglo saxon king brought to the Faith by St. Augustine. I leapt out of my seat and shouted 'in your fucking face CJ!'

I'm a deeply sad individual but beating the eggheads and the challengers has restored my faith in my own quzzing prowess. That dermot is a dull cunt mind.
 
Beating CJ must be one of the most satisfying TV experiences. My all-time favourite Egghead moment was when he gave an answer and sat back with his trademark smugness on show, sure he'd got it right. The change in expression as Dermot/Jeremy told him it was wrong was priceless. :D
 
My ex-housemate and a bunch of his mates was on this, but apparently the production company changed between filming and airing so he didn't even know what his TX date was, supposed to be sometime in July I think.

He had CJ but got beaten.
 
I wouldn't actually feel great shame from getting beaten by CJ- he is a smug fuck but he has a half decent quizzing brain. To be owned by Judith though, that would send me home with my tail between my legs.

Depends on the subject. Judith on sport you should win. Likewise Kevin on food and drink.
 
I just wish dermot would come up with a variation on the script 'some of the greatest quiz players in britain' has been repeated so often it has lost all meaning. And during the spin-off 'are you an egghead' show he repeated the line 'don't put all your eggheads in one basket' every fucking show. I know he must have come up with that one himself and thusly used it EVERY FUCKIN SHOW.

Incidentally, the winner of that show who became an egghead is the dourest most humourless irish man alive called Barry. He has nothing to fear about age causing laughter lines. I've yet to see the portly (prod by accent I surmise-ulster probably) crack a single smile. It is like he had his funny bone removed at birth and replaced with a vast knowledge of useless information. They keep calling him the 'unknown quantity' when for any observer it is clear that he knows sports and sciences but falls down on arts&books and Entertainment. I could be in his place, and I'd crack a smile at Dermots shit jokes as well. Out of pity.
 
one of my favourite show this: i especially like the lack of incidental music - i think there's no theme tune either - very mellow. unfortunately i get home way too late to watch it these days :( low fi tv at its best :)

Barry's a Yorkshire/Lancashire bloke (I'm Southern, hence can't tell the difference), and I think he won the first "Are You...?". Pat won the second and he is Irish, and dour.
 
yeah, pat is yer man.

I had a shit run tonight, got fucked by geography and bastarding sport. Team did well, bunch of engineers. Knocked out Chris who took it with his usual wear affability unlike CJ who looks like you just shat on his kids when he loses.
 
Da[hne prtends she doesn't know the answer every time, then nails it. She is a sweet old lady and I would be happy to drive her to a WI meeting-if I could drive
 
I've said it before, Daphne is the truely evil one and definately keeps the other four (originals) on tight leashes.

The stats, if anyone is interested are approx: Kevin 98%, Daphne 95%, Chris 90%, CJ 75% and Judith 48%. Those are a few years old, so don't include Barry and Pat.
 
Kevin is deffo the powerhouse- I said earier to the dragon that I'd love to sit Kevin down and just fire random questions at him untill he got one wrong and I could go 'I'VE WON KEVIN'. At which point he would give me a dry discourse on the definition of winning.
 
eggheads pwned tonight!

and I got the question they lost on- kevin took it with his usual impassive calm. I was waiting for the camera to pan to CJ facepalming in despair- give the smug fuck his due he takes defeat as badly as he does unashamedly glory in victory. Alas it didn't. I had a bad run in the main but got the eggheads in the final round

27k was the pot, a tidy wedge for the challengers to share out.

Oh, and Daphne is clearly utterly, utterly evil.

Daphne is lovely! I won't hear a word said against her.



Are the current shows repeats?
 
I used to play cricket with that Mark Labbatt who is on all the quiz shows and is now one of the guys on that ITV show, The Chase?

I still have a pair of cricket whites he gave me years ago. We used to call him the Honey monster on account of his size and lack of a neck.

I got him once tho, asked him what was the name of Laurel and Hardy's dog, didnt have a scooby!
 
I wasn't that bothered by the Pope's visit - until I found out that they're not showing eggheads today cos of the Papal coverage. :mad:
 
its been celebrity eggheads all week, although having a team of hi-di-hi ex's was stretching the definition of 'celeb' a bit.

On in five!
 
saw this for the first time recently, so maybe i don't understand the rules, but why do they explain their answers in that way? is it necessary?
