Daphne gets my goat


I hate it when Daphne waves her little fists in the air when one of her teammates gets a question right. I hate the way she always has to let everyone know with her smirks and nods that she knows the answer to everyones questions. On a shallower note I hate her 'old lady' cardigans. Plus I reckon she hates Judith. Apart from that I am glued to Eggheads every night!

i agree,although i have to admit daphne is one of the stronger eggheads it doesn't excuse her rudeness to other eggheads usually judith who i find to be a true lady who doesn't feel so insecure in her intellect she needs to bounce around the desk when a question is answered incorrectly.

Totally agree, I complain loudly about this every time I watch her. Funny thing happened one day when she was celebrating as she does because she thought the egghead who answered the question was right, then Dermot said it was wrong. Funny stuff!

I've always wanted to write a book, but unfortunately I don't have a pen.

Have you noticed also that when she is doing one of her 'correct guesses' she closes one eye and squints to make it look like she's thinking really hard. She likes to say 'Dermot' in a baby girl voice 'cos I'm sure she fancies him!

Haha I was looking for a foru just so I could type 'Daphne gets my goat'. Her zippy old-lady act is too annoying :)

What is this, a spite-Daphne-a-thon? I happen to think she's great. She's sweet, she's one of the stronger eggheads, and she doesn't show off like CJ does.

Don't worry Daph, I'm on your side.

Yeah,I'm with you there. The old moo.

Good old Jeremy has already cottoned on to her little game of pretending not to know the answer and then "guessing" what the right answer is.

She didn't look too happy when he pulled her up on it the other day. :)

You've been rumbled,Daphne!

According to BBC's 'The One Show' about two-three weeks' ago from my posting here, she guested on it and has said she is turning it in 'soon'. Hooray! Apparently she couldn't couldn't keep up with the schedules/travelling being too heavy a burden. Hopefully, it'll make the smug gits lose more often!!!

reply

Her massively irritating 'I've absolutely no idea!' routine, before inevitably skewering exactly the right answer became very old very quickly. If you know it say so. You are on the show for being an Egghead, after all. *sigh*

Just a painted face on a trip down suicide row

I wonder when Daphne will retire.
Will they add another egg head when Daphne retires?
They don't really need to, as even after Daphne leaves they'll still have 6 - Barry, Pat, Chris, Kevin, Dave, Judith.
But I guess they might want to make the schedule easier by always having 7, so maybe they will add another when Daphne retires.

Imagine my annoyance when I tuned in last night and the old bat was STILL in it!

It was a repeat, she left in 2014.
