Big fan of today's episode. Wadham are a very likeable team and I am obsessed with Bellamy's style whilst Jarvis was so clearly hugely excited to be there that I couldn't help but enjoy watching her.
Hello again! What a great match! Two closely matched, talented teams. Sadly, I believe we have seen the last of the losing team. The winners are strong contenders. My best to both teams, and to each individual.
very entertaining match between two likeable teams! great to see wadham’s confidence as a team grow throughout the match. as an inappropriate aside, this is perhaps the best looking matchup i’ve ever seen on UC…
There have been some notably attractive single contestants throughout the show (I'd probably give that award to Jarvis for this match), but it's impressive how broadly photogenic Wadham in particular is in this match. Billore reminds me of the Game Master from the first Hunger Games and Bellamy is I think the platonic ideal of a twink.
Thanks, Cosmic P! Well, not exactly a scintillating contest this week! Can't see the winners going much further in the tournament but miracles can happen!
@@PhatInAHat That's not technically true. While St.Catharine's is in 4th place among the losers and are unlikely to return, they did outscore the team they kicked out of 4th place, Gonville & Caius-Cambridge, who only managed 80 points.
Great match! O.O, as usual, someone, somewhere is shouting an answer... here: Eisenstein!!!, but only because I love the Fantozzi "substitutive" of: L' acorazatta "kotiomkin", è una cag**** pazzesca!!!! xD
Classical music round was a piece of cake if that's your thing. You could make a good guess if you didn't know and still get them. Eisenstein -Potemkin was surely a gimme
10:03 St. Catherine's convincing themselves that "arthritis" is of French origin is a season highlight. The captions even gave them shit for it "FRENCH ACCENT: Arthritis"
You can Google them and get fascinated by how there's lots of resources! To begin with, there's UC Question Book available. That's just the beginning of the rabbit hole...... Plus if you're in the UK university, there might be a quizzing club that trained each week! (I was there lol). Plus the fact that quizzing is part of a British culture plus a pride of winning UC makes it a highly competitive one
This felt like a much more difficult match than the previous weeks. I've been keeping my score and got an average of 100 points in the first few weeks. This one, 40. Felt like a lot of science questions (my absolute weak spot).
@@araucariapasquale1 He's a first class wa**er. Best friends with a Russian oligarch (who stole the money) and brown nosed his way to a massive pay deal paid for by the taxpayer on the threat of prosecution. These people are the pits.
When the gong interrupts a series of questions, I always wonder what else would be in the category. Would the remaining two questions here have been about George Bernard Shaw and Eugene O'Neill? Or Samuel Beckett and Jon Fosse? We shall never know, alas.
Another of my 'only-interesting-to-me' comments: as in the previous rounds, I came in between the two teams, at 155. I knew hardly any of the answers the teams knew, but a lot of what they didn't.
Well after 4 weeks of high-scoring we were due a crash back down to earth. We did hit 300 at least - don't think St Catharine's have done enough to hit the HSL mark and unsure on Wadham's future prospects, but it's very early days and we'll just have to see in R2. My alma mater next week Manchester versus the reining champions Imperial - sounds very good on paper at least ;).
K just never understand why the lead question and the follow up questions are never related in any way? Eg first question was about stone castles in UK, follow up questions were about musicals...😒
@@someguy9164 because all the questions that follow are on a theme. But there is no particular rhyme or reason, or internal logic we might discover, just a format that was dreamed up in the 1960s
That’s only the case in the music rounds and the picture rounds. In the other rounds, getting the lead question right lets you answer “bonus” questions (they’re not really “follow-up questions”) which are just not related to the lead question. It _is_ a bit confusing, especially when the lead music or picture round questions are missed and the “bonus” questions (which _are_ music or picture questions) are asked following lead questions that aren’t but that’s just the way the game works.
@@jeff__w thanks for this explanation which just makes it worse. Having said that, all TV or radio quiz shows have oddities, or quite different formats. If you wanted to pitch a new show, you'll have to come up with something original or bizarre
@@g-r-a-e-m-e- Yeah, I have no idea what the thinking was-or if there even _was_ thinking about it-when the show was launched back in 1962. (I don’t recall what the format of the US _College Bowl_ show, on which _University Challenge_ was based was, so maybe _UC_ was just following that or maybe not.) I’ll just say that, like you, I was a bit perplexed about the bonus questions, too, when I first started watching the show-especially the music and picture bonus questions popping up later, with unrelated lead questions-and then realized that that was “just the way it is.”
Two immensely likable teams, but i doubt we see the loser again. I feel the winners need to up their game to go much further but they give the idea they might have it in them.
From Allen,Texas, thanks to CosmicPumpkin for giving us a little culture. Okay, to start... Saint Catherine was never put on the wheel. She touched it and it fell apart. Also - just luck of the questions... Usually I get a *few* no answers and maybe beat the buzzer. This time - I was dead weight (as were two others). A funny thing happened "to me" on the way to the Forum. A bit pedantic. Should've gotten credit. I speculated that Jarvis might be trans - but so what? Even if I were her age, she'd be *way* out of my league - she was a hottie. Also, I noticed that that Myers kept resting her tatas on the desk. Yeah, I'm a guy. Sue me. 😆
I managed 12 correct answers yesterday, equating to I believe 90 points. I was however distracted somewhat by the impeccable beauty of “ Ms “ Jarvis, stunning.
It is how it can work. The place one is 'from' is where one grew up, where one had one's home, and not so very rare now for children to have two homes in different countries because parents have divorced. One's place of birth need not at all be where one is from. For example, my father was born in China, but he was not 'from' China at all. Couldn't speak a word of Chinese.

Jeez, 'give more opportunities to underrepresented groups'? This is a contest between teams of players from various universities, the members of which have volunteered, been tested, and based on those tests been chosen. Much the same with a cricket team: the players are chosen according to their cricket skills, not which 'group' they belong to. And which grouping is then the most important? Colour, sex, weight, height, ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, or what?
@@castelodeossos3947 talent is equally distributed opportunities are not .Merit is a myth it is a product of inter generational privileges and accumulated socio cultural capital given the right opportunities everyone will fluorish

jarvis sounds like he's used to pegging anyway with that voice and adams apple
Pegging on the BBC is crazy work
It's remarkable how frequently the phenomenon of a team providing the same answer three times and finally being correct has happened over the years.
