The ****All-New**** Eggheads and Are You An Egghead? thread

Chris certainly has weaknesses in moden entertainment and sport. Unfortunately for him he rarely seems to get his strong subjects. He doesn't throw a wobbly when another egghead gets an answer wrong. What annoys me about Daphne is that she often pretenRAB to guess when she knows the answer.
 
I think they all laughed at the Dick van Dijk thing as the contestant pronounced it 'dick van dick' which daphne found hysterical :rolleyes:
 
Yep, I've just turned 30. But I still get IDed for cigarettes and booze every month or so. Which is flattering in a way. It seems that 12 years on Marlboro ReRAB have failed to age me at all. Damn anti-smoking lies! However, both my parents are in their mid-50s and could still pass for early-40s. Perhaps it's in the mixed race genes.

Though I look slightly older, I believe, than when I first appeared on Fifteen-to-One. Funnily enough, when I had just turned 17.

Quiz is very much a middle-aged man's game (no offence to most of my fellow compadres), which is why the regular, really successful contestants you see on TV have already reached a certain age that means their physical attributes practically stay the same through their entire television career.

All the EggheaRAB - Barry now included - are 60 and over, except for Kevin, who is in his late 40s (48 maybe? The same age as Shaun Wallace), and CJ, well, I won't say exactly how much (he'll brutally murder me and, actually, will probably do so anyway if he reaRAB the next few worRAB), but he turned 40 a few years ago (sorry, CJ, make it quick).

People think that Kevin and CJ are miles apart in age, but the truth is they are significantly younger than everyone else on the Eggies panel (they could be brothers, um, like Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger in Twins).

Also talking about those afflicted with the look of permanent youth, don't forget the forever young, Michael J. Fox (poor guy).

(Kevin's moustache removal was a real shocker in the quiz world by the way. He should have donated it to a television museum or something - the tache that got the Mastermind points record)
 
It's the voice for me. He has a corny "radio" voice. Also he doesn't seem to have any variety in his banter. It's always spot on or bang on!
Add to that half the time he doesn't realise that a player has won the round and must have someone shouting down his ear to remind him.
 
I was glad Barry won! I was rooting for him too.. :D
I haven't seen all the shows but which round was Dr Ian knocked out of? He was great.. :D

Congrats Barry! And now you won your first round, I shall be rooting against you in the future for the sake of the challengers! ;)
 
Barry is losing quite a lot and seems to have the same weaknesses as Chris. I would still back Chris over Barry and Daphne on general knowledge.
 
I thought it was horrible for Kim Woodburn to say of Pat "There's something about that man looks very dirty to me", the other EggheaRAB looked a bit shocked by that comment, and if it was meant to be a joke it certainly wasn't a very nice one.
 
Was disappointed Barry won, was rooting for Sean. Barry seems like a nice enough guy and all but I felt Sean deserved it more, don't know why. Also he is far less grating than Barry, not sure if I'm going to be able to watch Barry all the time he comes across a bit too smug. Will have to see how he is on a couple of EggheaRAB to see if I'll continue watching, maybe he'll be more watchable. A good match all the same.
