So, is it just me, or was Ruby Wax the worst, most useless guest ever on QI? Thank god for Ross Noble, or the "H Animals" episode would have been awful.

I thought she was fine. Not as great as some guests but CERTAINLY not the worst.

My least favourite guests were Terry Wogan and Pam Ayres.

[selenityshiroi]

I just found her doddery, for some reason. It made her really unfunny and a little uncomfortable to watch.

Terry Wogan's appearance was just dire, though.

(My opinions of Ruby Wax, however, are probably helped by the fact that I consider any time away from Sean Lock a good thing. I haven't been able to stand him ever since I realised that he's an absolute douche to any guests of obvious intelligence. The way he acted towards Rory McGrath (who, know-it-all or not, deserves more respect than Sean gave him) and Ben Miller (who wasn't even acting like a know it all, just genuinely answering Stephen's questions on an interesting subject) put me right off of him.)

Agreed re: Sean Lock being a utter dickhead at times. However, I do find guests like McGrath and Miller to be completely annoying. They take up too much time giving detailed, long-winded & correct answers which, in my opinion, is not the purpose of the show. But, that's a personal preference.

Oh, I do, however, agree that Ross Noble was amazing!

(but, what is a 'coite'?)

A "quoit" is a toy ring you throw at a peg in a game much like horseshoes.

I only vaguely remember the context, but if you think about throwing horseshoes at the horned nun's protrusion you're pretty close.

I don't think she was the worst ever, but she was pretty bad. It was kind of uncomfortable to watch. =/

Are we forgetting Johnny Vegas?

But yeah, I just wanted to fast forward through her presence.

Ruby was trying too hard ... she wasn't the worst ever though.

Can someone please explain the appeal of Johnny Vegas? He's the anti-Ben Miller it would seem ... "let's annoy people with dumbness and oddity"

[dracothelizard]

Yeah, Johnny Vegas would be bottom of the list for me, Ruby Wax was kind of average. I can see how she might not appeal, but she knew some interesting things. Vegas, however, isn't funny OR interesting. I'd rather they have an empty chair than him on the panel.

Hmmm... I was ok with her, however I couldn't handle Ross Noble too well (sorry!) and one point I just wanted him to shut up: i don't watch the show for his commentary on EVERYTHING. Sean Lock was my favourite on the panel :)
