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?

Pm sent to everyone in the team for the audition.
Must admit that I have struggled to find any weakness in Kevin's game, whereas we may all be queuing to do sport with

I'll let you lot fight that one out - I have no interest in answering any sport questions! I've only seen the programme once or twice - can someone let me know the subjects they usually have?

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
CJs full name is
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
