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

Sulla, who made a nasty remark again today, could have even been humilated on AYAE if he'd had the balls to enter. (sic - those of us who can write will know that the appropriate construction is 'could even have had' rather than 'could have even had')

Sorry for the facetious post, but your constant sniping at someone who any fool can see is an unbelievably good quizzer is starting to irritate me.

As AYAE has now finished, I will no longer be posting on this forum. Try not to bitch too much. It's an unbecoming habit.
 
Then again, they can't have been too shabby if they knocked Kevin out to begin with :)

On the subject of the final round, I sometimes think it would make for an interesting twist if the teams were both given the same questions in this one. Obviously it would mean they'd have to press a button or whatever so as not to give any help to the other team (or maybe isolate them in the question room, evicting those already in there through being knocked out earlier!), but it would make the thing more akin to a pub quiz and demonstrate better whether, when it comes down to just one question as it so often does, one team knew it and the other genuinely wouldn't have done. In so many cases you see, both teams do know one answer but it comes down to luck of the draw where the question lanRAB as to who wins.
 
Why? What's stopping them changing places in between matches that are recorded on the same day? They change their shirts so I can't see how sitting down in a different spot would be troubling!
 
Having just checked iPlayer (because I am sad) it appears I was mistaken - last week's episodes say 2009 at the end not 2008. So they may be a few months old but like I say, I don't think they're repeats.

I still think they are considerably far ahead with production, because I'm sure I read somewhere recently (either here or on another forum) that Pat had already shot about 50 shows.
 
Did that chap on the challengers' team really just say "I'll go for, because I like her very much, Gene Autry"? :confused:

I can only hope it was a joke, but if so it was delivered extremely deadpan!
 
There were several questions that Shaun got wrong that you'd expect him to get but I suspect nerves played a huge part in it. I am sure that, in the comfort of his own home, he would have answered several of those questions correctly.

Having entered AYAE I can assure you that answering questions in your living room and answering them in a TV studio (with all the lights and cameras on you and all the production staff racing around all over the place) are two entirely different propositions. I know that on several occassions I was so scared I could barely think at all, never mind try to think of an answer. It is much, much harder than you might imagine. Which, as far as I can see, makes Barry's performance in the final all the more remarkable.
 
I wonder why CJ was so rude to Daphne today?

I felt sorry for Chris, he knows he's a better quizzer than the challengers but they keep picking him for sport. I personally think that is cowardly to keep picking him for his weakest subject. They know he would thrash them in the final.
