Eggheads

[Sqad]

Why? why? do they have students or indeed young people to take on the Eggheads, as they have no chance at all of winning.
Even students who compete on the subject that they are studying invariably lose as their breadth of knowledge is limited.
Only mature teams seem to beat the Eggheads because of their wide breadth of knowledge and life.

Every time I hear " I'll make an " educated " guess " I cringe. They are morelike wild guesses.

I do remember, just once, a solitary female student managing to win.

The producers won't be allowed to discriminate on grounds of age.

Many many years ago a much younger Daphne appeared on Bullseye - she's certainly learnt a lot more since those days.

ooh that's deep divebuddy :-)

Any quiz show where money is involved is going to have at least part of the selection process related to finding "interesting people on TV", as opposed to "actually good quizzers". If you want to see good (and bad) student quizzers, go watch Uni Challenge. That's what it's there for, right? Remember the Trinity Team from a couple of seasons back? Utterly amazing.

[Georgiesmum]

I cant stand Daphne.

[Mamyalynne]

That's a strange juxtaposition Jordyboy.

I missed the first few minutes of this programme tonight and missed the team playing the eggheads sing a song. Were they any good?

[twix123]

The team were better at singing than in answering the questions.

Jeremy Vine was getting rather monotonous, going on about the Eggheads not getting any questions wrong during that particular recording!

[mrchirpy]

They're giving multiple choice questions to people who are already brainboxes and know the answers anyway. No wonder most of the Eggheads are still in it after the first stage. Meanwhile, most of the challengers are out of it. I gave up watching it a couple of years ago, but presumably the Eggheads are "still playing for something money can't buy - that's the Eggheads reputation"?
