Anyone else a fan? I'm a HUGE fan! I've seen every episode, and I'm absolutely hooked.

We watch it religiously, every Friday or the extended cut on Saturday.  We're on the list to go see it live.  I find the scoring system a bit suspect, but am a huge fan of Stephen Fry.

I love Stephen Frye, but I love Alan Davies. [smiley=smitten.gif] Especially his stories, like the one just this past week about the frog in the dog's bowl. He makes me LOL every week. Who's your favorite panelist? I'm remiss Bill Bailey didn't make it on this season, and would like to see more David Mitchell.

Another Alan-fancier here. ;D   I LOVE QI - I love Stephen, I love Alan, I love when Bill Bailey's on the show, and Jo Brand, and Jimmy Carr - in fact, my favorite episode of all time may well be the one where they have the boards full of plastic fridge letters with which to make words in their spare time (GAY ELF ROMP) and Jimmy Carr uses all his letters!  [smiley=laugh4.gif]

I love QI loads and I have to say my ideal panalist lineup would be Bill Bailey, Jimmy Carr and Reg Hall. That said, my favourite will always be Stephen Fry for many reasons, one of which is his manner of making little not-so-quiet comments to himself when controversial matters are discussed. :-X

I'm a huge fan. Not only is it funny but it's educational as well.

I too wish they had David Mitchell and Bill Bailey on more. I also like Phil Jupitus except for the fact that he always made a slight issue out of Stephens sexuality which I always found uncomfortable.

I'm not fond of Jeremy Clarkson and Jo Brand. They're never very funny.

DH and I are also huge QI fans!  Alan is funny, but I think Bill Bailey was my favorite 'contestant.'  And Jimmy Carr, he's pretty funny too.  And of course, QI has helped make me a massive fan of Stephen Fry! :)

My favorite episode was "Exploration" with the manakin bird. Everytime I see it, I get an extreme case of the giggles. :)

The other week when they said that Jo Brand and John Sergeant were twins separated at birth was spot on!!!

Forgot to mention, Alan's buzzer from this episode (here, at about 2:20) is the text messaging notification for my phone!  :D

Stephen, to Alan: "You must be a blast by the fridge." ;D

I LOVE this show.  Seconding the love for both Fry and Davies.  I also loved last week's when Emma Thompson told the story of running to Stephen for computer help.  He just looked so pleased to be the one she ran to!
And the story with Alan's dog made my (dog-averse) husband consider having one! Yay!
