I had my hands over my ears as soon as he said "I can even sing it for you".

Re: Eggheads
Brilliant! Had good fun watching, and pretty much got most of the answers you guys got wrong 
Antony, I'm convinced you were bluffing before you pulled 'Owen Wilson' out of the bag in your sudden death. And have to say, Kevin, I was screaming at the screen when you dismissed Steve Gerrard as an option on that question, how could Michael Owen have scored that goal against Argentina in France '98 before he'd even played in the league! Haha never mind, glad you at least beat one of the eggheads.
If i've just ruined half the episode for you, sorry, but you can see it until next Monday (24th) on the iPlayer here:

Re: Eggheads
OK, a serious question - do the producers tell the contestants to go through that REALLY annoying routine of talking through the answers before choosing one?
I mean, do you really need to talk through the answers to the question "who sang Singing In The Rain"?

Re: Eggheads

Re: Eggheads
Yes they do ask you to expand on your answers and we were asked to do the same thing at the audition. One of the teams at the audition just gave the answers straight and when asked to expand on their answers said things like "coz it's the right answer innit"! Needless to say that team didn't get picked.
The Owen Wilson answer I honestly was not 100% sure. I could picture the guys face from the film trailer but wasn't really sure what was his name was. A bit of a lucky guess really. I wish I'd have got Chris' question in the sudden death, Catweazle was an easy answer.

Re: Eggheads
Thanks, but there's no need, I downloaded it already.
Well played guys, you certainly did a respectable job, although I guess that's not much consolation when you could have had nearly two and a half grand each...
I'm glad I wasn't on the team - I only knew two answers that you didn't (Fungus and Steven Gerrard), whereas you knew dozens that I would not have got.
Andi, instead of saying "I hold the record for the Docklands Light Railway challenge", you should have said "I'm a future world record holder"

Re: Eggheads
Glad that is all over now, even worse watching on TV than filming on the day......
Steeevooo I love the way you dismissed Tripoli for being in Italy I didn't notice you had said that on the day itself........
Yes the actual show took well over 2 hours to film and loads was cut out......
I still don't think I would get the Stevie G question right next time, over half the people I spoke to said they would have gone for Owen and as for the boxing question.....
Well that's it I would love another crack but you are only allowed on the show once and cannot go as part of another team....
