Barry seems a top guy, Kevin is uber clever and dopey Dave is a rag!I've met Kevin and Barry in real life. Kevin's very quiet and you can't move in his house for books apparently. Barry was sound and a good laugh.

It is.
Bound to go head to head with Dave "Tremendous Knowledge" Rainford
If ever any Rag typified the arrogant, smug, self-serving, entitled Rag hordes, this guy does. As soon as he appeared, my interest in this programme vanished!
How do you cheat (unless calling / texting a friend) and bend the rules? The question is either right or wrong!As I have moved widely in the world of quizzing I know most of the |Eggheads very well, and played against them all except Judith (of the original ones. )
There was one of the others who is disliked for being egotistical, manipulative and disingenuous. Before I played against this person an experienced quizzer rang me up and said "Watch out for ------, who is a cheat and will bend the rules." He was right.
I mustn't say who.

Believe me, some do bend the rules. In this particular quiz ("Brain of Britain"), you are supposed to wait until an opponent has had a wrong answer declared incorrect, or in the case of no answer the ten-seconds allowed must have elapsed, before anyone else buzzes in. I abided by those rules, and found this person buzzing in before he/she was entitled to, without being penalised by the adjudicators.
The quiz world can be very cut-throat and peopled by those with pretty non-existent lives outside of that bubble.
It is not sour grapes on my part since I have won prestigious TV and radio quizzes.
