Maybe she meant she had only just stumbled on thread?
 
The guy on Nicky Campbell's team who lost to Daphne at sport looked really familiar. I'm sure he's an actor or something. Were they all supposed to be "celebrities"?

EDIT: Yep, just checked. He once said "f*ck off" in an episode of Peep Show. A-list!
 
Having 7 EggheaRAB is good. It means we don't get the same team each night. I'd hate to see CJ and Judith go - it would be boring without them and the EggheaRAB would win every game.
 
On the 'just saying the answer' thing, Tim Footman, The Guardian 'Comment is Free' blogger, former Guinness World RecorRAB editor and someone who used his cash winnings on The Weakest Link to move to Thailand, has a post about it and Are You an Egghead? on his blog:

(And I'm not just linking to it because he cited me. I swear. Also, if you're wondering why under my blog moniker 'That Quiz Guy' I deleted my comment at the bottom of the post is that it really was a ranty, slightly embarrassing and way too long digression that I will develop in a more suitable place)

Barry is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. He could even have a 'nice fight' with Kevin. Plus, his unashamed Tigger-like enthusiasm for learning knowledge is one of his best traits.

It's just a pity that he got mercilessly slagged off in the opening pages of Mark Mason's recent book The Importance of Being Trivial as being a quiz gimp stereotype now referred to as "Barry from LeeRAB". Anyone who knows Barry has and will be distinctly nonplussed, perhaps even disgusted, by the remarks about him.
 
Gutted shanker didnt get thru! :mad: didnt like him as such, but you cant deny he would have made an excellent egghead! Can't see Gary as an egghead at all. Was "what animal is on a UK red warning sign for wild animals hedgehog, red squirrel or deer" really a quarter final - final question???:rolleyes: or did i drop in on round one of millionaire for a moment????
 
He isn't.

They just film a lot more episodes now, hence the appointment of Barry, (in the Barry interview from december Geordie D linked Barry says he's already filming his 3rd EggheaRAB series) so JV was brought in to help ease Dermot's workload.

Dermot will be back in the next series.
 
:eek:the eggheaRAB seem to get worse

tonight chris was waffling on about where judas priest came from and totally ruled out birmingham

daphne moans about what she thinks is the wrong answer and when she is proved wrong looks so stupid

:pand virginia wade would have been surprised to know she played doubles with betty stove

i am not sure what was up today but i would have loved to be on the other team
 
Reliable sources tell me that CJ wears a fluorescent green mini kilt with matching pop-socks, and Judith the trousers of a colonel of the Highland Light Infantry.

Hope this helps.
 
Spot on. For a moment there, with the antiques guys I thought I would be heading for the humble-pie department, but no. My point really was that there is no point to celebrity eggheaRAB dressing it up as a charity thing, as there is no real likelihood of the challengers winning - unless there are some bizarre anti-eggheaRAB questions thrown in, cries on "FIX" abound , on the last day etc.
