What a damn fine match - 20/24 on bonuses for Corpus Christi made up for actually being out buzzed by Royal Holloway 8 to 9 😯! And a virtuosic buzzing performance from Mr. Talbot as well. I do feel sorry for Mr. Chingonyi 😞 - so close with Salt Lake City vs Utah - reminded me of Caramel vs Caramelisation in the first R16 game of the regular series. Hope everyone is keeping well during this time.
I think he is superior to Paxman who was full of himself and rude. Amol is friendly and has brought a feeling of congeniality to it. Paxman was from a time when one person could be elevated to a position of favour just because they were around a while. Some of the infamous pedos etc. can be thanked *ignominiously* for making us realise no one is perfect…except David Attenborough maybe.
24:56 “In Greek myth, the gods known collectively as the Anemoi…” 25:18 “Aurora borealis.” Yes, the famed natural light display of the Mediterranean-how could it _not_ be that?

A line of appreciation for Amol. He has done beautifully, against mostly negative remarks about the change.
I'm very impressed with him
He's great!

That was GREAT. Loved this match. Once again many thanks for bringing it to us.
Very exciting match! Very close at the end. Great knowledge from Bellos and Waters. Thanks for these wonderful alumni Christmas matches!
hearing the words "little nas x" in a posh accent made my day. thank you.
I was madly correcting in my head to "Lil, Lil!"
An excellent match. And compared to the earlier rounds the questions were (to me, anyway) much more difficult.
A lot of fun. Very exciting. Thanks for posting this. 😊
Great match glad to see CC go through. Bellos and Waters did quite well especially
If Chigonyi got the answer right on the Utah question, the result could have been different at the end. A real turning point.
Imagine losing because you were too knowledgable :(
Unlucky, but a great example of why it is always important to listen to the full question.
Well played by both teams.

Cosmic! The cosmos is in your debt!
11:30 "Half Life", "Baldur's Gate" and "Metal Gear Solid"
This should've been the final! Great teams
Can't stop thinking Bellos is Michael Sheen.
He will definitely be played by him in "Numberphile: The Movie".
Talbot is like a cross between David Cross and Michael Stipe.
How can he know about Metal Gear Solid but not about Half-Life?
pc vs console at time of release?
Probably only had a Playstation in his life
8:20 -40C = -40 F
Good catch!
Yeah but ≠ ºR, so he couldn't say just "degrees".
