Contestants are often guilty of prejudging Daphne based on her 'sweet old lady' appearance, and choose her as their opponent for the [[sports]] round, only for the show's host to reveal that sport is actually one of her strongest subjects. It is often mentioned on the programme that she is a friend and mentor to fellow Egghead [[C. J. de Mooi]]. ==Quiz game show record== {| class="wikitable" |- ! Show ! Year(s) !
