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

I can quite categorically state that Barry does not, and never has, owned a sex shop. Where on earth did that one come from???? :D

ps as stated above there are now 7 rotating EggheaRAB. They've already filmed a series with Pat in it, joining the existing six.
 
Oh, do I have to? Oh alright then: "they're all so damn full of themselves"; "One doesn't need to know them all! They just give off such an air of superiority" and "overly superior and smug".

Granted, you've softened your opinion, as I have softened mine of yours, reading the posts again and remembering that this is just a TV show and not a diplomatic incident teetering on the edge of war. But would you like someone to say you were so damn full of yourself, smug and superior?

It's not out and out vitriol, admittedly, but it is the dismissive attitude coupled with the false assumptions about people you don't personally know that grates. Nevertheless, it is your opinion and you have every right to it.
 
My point is that the contestants frequently deliberately pick an Egghead whom they think won't be particularly good at a particular subject. To my mind, that is pathetic - and if they do that I'm happy to see them trounced (as they usually are).

Most of the amateur quizzers who appear (including those competing to be an Egghead - are amazingly ignorant anyway). OH and I spend most of our time laughing at their total inability to answer most of their questions correctly.
 
];36678197']I want Pat to win and Judith to be dropped while she has a very good knowledge of certain subjects there are massive gaps in her overall knowledge to be considered a top quizzer, I suppose you could say the same about CJ and Chris to a lesser extent.

I think EggheaRAB neeRAB a bit of a shake up!!!
 
I'm warming to Barry. He is far stronger than CJ or Judith but I suspect that like most of them he will struggle will modern music questions.
 
The comment Dermot made on last night's show about Kevin never moving reminded me of the Stig.

Some say he's read every page on Wikipedia. Some say he's the father of all the other EggheaRAB. All we know is... he's called Kevin Ashman.

:D
 
What's the craic with this show, only occasionally watch it, but Dermot and Jeremy seem to be on different days. How's this working? Has Jeremy taken over and the one's with Dermot are repeats? Or do they share the presenting role?

Oh and anyone know why CJ is such a c*nt? :confused:
 
Judith and CJ were hopeless again tonight. The joy of Daphne when the other team fails to win convinces me that they are playing for HER money
 
It's only fair to me to point out that the statement "all of the posters here are being slated on the site below" is absolute rubbish.

If you read it, it has a variety of opinion which ranges from 'ignore it' to some sadness to puzzlement to outrage with actual views on the show's format. The slating has been directed at posters on this forum who have made personal criticisms of people I and others knew personally and are, in many cases, frienRAB with. There have been, say, less than three such 'slatees', with none of them quoted or cited by user name.

You'll find that more than three people have contributed to this thread.

Also, I'm sorry that one arrogant, idiot quizzer (there are many of them, of course) has put you off Quizzing events, which are actually competitions where people answer quiz questions and don't stand around in huddles and laugh at the crap newbies so they can get their rocks off (what sort of awful people do you think we are?), as if that is the kind of thing Garry Kasparov might have done at chess tournaments (As.If.). You'd actually find the atmosphere to be extremely friendly, with a diversity of people who all share a love of general knowledge and really give very little thought to anyone else does but themselves when it is time to do the quiz. By the way, no money - you'll get more cash coming third place at your local pub quiz - and only nominal prizes are handed out at these shindigs, so that must make us really crap "professional quizzers" for wanting to do something that we love and in the old-fashioned amateur way. (My entire TV quiz career winnings?
 
Phew!:confused: Maybe you should aspire to be an Egghead, then the rest of the world could take the p*ss out of you in a most superior manner. What is your problem? Just don't watch it again.
