Title: Eggheads
Post by: Indestructable on May 22, 2007, 07:10:42 PM
I did discuss with a few others at the last Blonde bash of pulling together a team to enter the BBC2 show Eggheads. This would be under the guise of a team of poker players, but would not be able to use brands such as Blonde for the team name etc
Obviously may not come off and there is logistics to work out for auditions etc, but i thought I would start the ball rolling by asking who would be interested in joining a team. I believe that you need 5 plus a sub, but we probably need more back ups in case any of the 6 can't make it.
I will not go on a first posting basis for this, so if interested just say so on this thread and when I know more I can let you know. Can you also indicate the nearest major city to where you live.
Cheers.

Must admit that i didn't realise that CJ posts on another forum I go on for game show legends like me.  :D
I am now full of praise for him, but still want to give him a game show spanking.  ;)

Unfortunately a couple of the team can't make that date and a couple are pencilled in and awaiting confirmation.
I would be interested to hear from anyone that can definitely make it or perhaps anyone that wouldn't mind being on stand by. Either post on this thread or send me a PM.
Cheers.

Kevin Ashman is a quiz legend.  The rest aren't bad - but he's something else.  I say we kidnap him before the show, or bring Tikay along and start a conversation between the two about trains and snails to make sure he misses the show?

I've only seen it once... I remember sport, food & drink, history, but not much else.  So wikipedia is again my friend:

"There are four main rounds, in which the challengers are given a category, and choose one of their players to play against an Egghead of their choice, and they choose whether or not to go first — all aspects designed to give the challengers an advantage. They are asked three multiple choice questions each; if these result in a tie, non-multiple choice questions are asked in pairs, in a sudden death fashion. Possible categories for these rounds include Arts and Books, Entertainment, Food and Drink, History, Geography, Politics, Science and Sport. The contestants don't know the categories or their order in advance, but are guaranteed that at least one of Entertainment or Sport will come up.

After the main rounds the final takes place, in which the losing players from the main round are not allowed to compete and a dominant team could thus have a 5–1 advantage. All remaining players are allowed to confer and the category is always General Knowledge."

 some facts about CJ
 
 CJs full name is CJ De Looi

 he only knows 7 Slovenian sociologists

 his main rival on the circuit is Beth , whose full time job is a gonorrea analyst
 
 he used to live in Brighton ( surprise surprise ) but now he lives in Wales , cos it is a hotbed of quizzing action

 he is ranked No.51 in Britain

 his full time job is a quizzer ( quizzee ?? ) on Eggheads

 he is a bell end

 might come in handy

We will hear within 2 weeks. But if we don't hear then we are not chosen.
If we are chosen we have to take 6 players and on the day they will bump one of us. They do this to make sure they have enough players on the day, but a bit rough on the "reject", but we will split the win between all 6 if we manage to fluke a win.  :D

I sprinted along, jumped over a few old ladies, ran down the platform and like Indiana Jones I managed to squeeze between the closing doors. Phew just made it and decided to celebrate getting on the train by opening my lucozade.
I have never seen a Lucozade fountain before, but i have now! Taking the suit to the dry cleaners tomorrow.

Ok, tactics time.
"Possible categories for these rounds include Arts and Books, Entertainment, Food and Drink, History, Geography, Politics, Science and Sport. The contestants don't know the categories or their order in advance, but are guaranteed that at least one of Entertainment or Sport will come up."

can Team mates list their categories in order of strength, perhaps indicating ones that strongish categories, okish and don't even think about it?

Title: Re: Eggheads
Post by: kinboshi on July 31, 2007, 12:32:04 PM
We choose who we put forward for each category, so I don't think it matters that much.  They can't really do anything even if they know our 'specialist' subjects.

Anyway, mine are Science and Geography, followed by Sport....and then the rest trailing a long way behind.

Did anyone beat the eggheads in the last series, or are they still rolling over the prize money?

Claw particularly and Andrew T are over-priced.

I'll have $30 on poker being said over 12 times in the show @ 13/2.  In fact, you might want to reconsider the odds you have for that one.  Let's just say that it's a cert.

I'll go for 2 players remaining, but I'm going to check on our team strategy first.

Just give a clue as to what week to watch so we don't miss it.
There is a fair amount of luck with the show eg chosen subjects and order of subjects. There is a real need to eliminate Kevin before the final and his weakest subjects are entertainment and food & drink, if you don't get those it looks a struggle.

Yes indeed. For anyone that didn't watch it they were a team of youngsters and were very poor with the first 3 knocked out. This left two.
One took on Chris at Sport and won leaving 2 v 4 in the final. They then had what in my view were easy questions and the Eggheads had a stinker of a question, got it wrong and the team won the £75,000. I am not one for conspiracy theories but....  ;whistle;

Aye, if you are refering to the Death Penalty question, I agree with you. -- but it was never going to be 8 was it ?????? so it was a coin flip 18 or 38 -- they chose 8 -- bad call from clever people (bet they were told to lose to keep interest and to shaft the poker crew  :redcard: )


Title: Re: Eggheads
Post by: Indestructable on September 28, 2007, 07:36:58 PM
Good point.   :D

I must admit I thought 8 was too low and went for 18. i think it was one of those questions where given the answerrs 8, 18 and 38 that it made 38 look too high.

Title: Re: Eggheads

well i could name about 10 that have it and another 10 that doesnt

so that would make 8 impossible and 38 unlikely

Is CJ as arrogant as he seems on the Tv? (yes and no, but a nice guy really) You have a drink with them afterwards? (No, it is pretty much a conveyor belt, one team out another team in.)

Looking forward to the screening....

We had also hoped to have a few hands of poker afterwards, but sadly not enough time. Daphne is a super lady though and had her camera with us for a team photo.

I am confused isn't BBC2 the same in Scotland as in England?


Unfortunately not, on Thursday evenings they run programmes for Gaelic viewers, which means we are usually a few programmes behind in the likes of Weakest Link and Eggheads.

I did see your appearance on the weakest link though Ed. Unlucky you angle shooter you - lol.

Do BBC ask you to drag out the questions your answers or what? Every time we get a 5 minute speech as to why it's not one answer but another which usually ends up wrong!!
Also, how many times did CJ roll his eyes and look rather unimpressed!!!??


Title: Re: Eggheads
Post by: Indestructable on October 02, 2007, 06:46:45 AM
With a lot of game shows they ask you to verbalise your thought process before giving an answer, it also gives you more tv time!

Message of thanks from the Captain.
Thanks to my team mates for their sterling efforts. They actually cut out some of the tie breaker questions in the interest of time, but had they shown them all it would have made us look a bit better, but as it was we had one winner and three of us knocked out on tie breakers, so a bit of respect there. Lots of ifs and buts as to whether we picked the right order or not, but think we had to have a go at knocking out Kevin and his two weak areas never came up as subjects so irrespective of Cement and Hee hee we were up against it.
Thanks again and will get on Youtube soon but may not be for a few days.

PS my Mrs thinks Tighty is very good, high praise indeed.

Yep, very entertaining, well done all.   :respect:

Eggheads seemed to have couple of lucky breaks on tiebreak questions.

Very snazzy presentation too Ed so you can watch it all from the embedded link!

Must admit I haven't worked out why your photo shows as it isn't the first part of the clip. As for dodgy videos, where?  ;kev;

Ed, I believe Youtube automatically selects a random scene from the middle of your video to use as a header.

You can change this by signing into youtube and updating the video properties.  Although you are still limited to just two alternative choices both of which are chosen for you.  ;carlocitrone;

I've finally got around to watching this - didn't realise I was being quite so forthcoming with the chest hair.

Some poker players on today's Eggheads.  The 'Poker Faces'. 

Missed the start, so don't know where they're from.  Does anyone know 'em?

Oh - is it?  I don't usually watch it, but I stuck it on when I got home this evening and heard poker being mentioned.

They lost anyway.
