S48 LOSERS' TABLE Sure, it's only a game, but Sidney Sussex have every right to look sad after failing to get one or two starter questions near the end, which could have pushed them into the top four spots. They are thus eliminated, and York live to potentially see another day. 175 Emmanuel - Cambridge 150 Exeter 150 Hertford - Oxford 105 York ----------------- 90 SOAS 75 Pembroke - Oxford 75 Sidney Sussex - Cambridge 55 Strathclyde
Seems strange to have Guyana as the answer to 'Which Central American country'; whilst it has strong cultural, political and historical ties to Central America, geographically it is absolutely in South America, which seems a clear ambiguity that I'm surprised the question setters permitted
British Scorpion Thomas did help with 2 starters but the other 2 had the will but not the knowledge. SS had a fun vibe, sad to seem them go, esp Ojha the teddy bear :)
that was actually a question I did answer right! And I think that 'Wyrm' isn't acceptable since it talked about having great wings and it did not mention anything about the forearms or hands for that matter, so Wyvern seemed like the logical answer.
So far 5/8 one-sided matches, yawn! 17 Qs + 5 misses. Sidney Sussex 5 starters, pretty Ollard 3, Thomas 2, Delaney 0 and Ojha 1 Rogan Josh! Bonus conversion rate 40%. Edinburgh seems like a very cohesive team led by a good captain, and it paid off with 12 starters, Captain FJ on 5, Booth 4, CH on 2 and Malusa on 1. Bcr 57%. Nice touch the Nehru jacket but Ojha is never gonna live down 'Rogan Josh' and will probably never order it again! Lol
The Edinburgh team looked more like a sterotypical Oxbridge team than their actual Cantabby opponents, second time this has happened this series, Glasgow was another one. I wasn't the biggest fan of Edinburgh last year but they were more likeable than this lot. They'll probably do well, Edinburgh seem to have a luck with them on the challenge...
Booth looks like a fat Micheal Palin in various Monty Python sketches (Parrot Sketch for example) dressed as a 1970’s heavy drinking Trade Union Leader having just rolled out of the pub.
100% would take her on a date. Date for a few months till she realized that I'm a moron who can only get the right answer to maybe 2 of these questions an episode. In which she would leave me and break my heart, followed by me sending her desperate texts for the next month or so.
@adam burdt HAHAAA love the honesty my friend- and I'd be in the same boat- on a really good day I may get 3 right instead of 2- but otherwise I'm the same- I'd likely crawl on broken glass just to let her fart in my mouth and to sniff her shoes after she's had them on for 3 days. She'd then call me a grubby disgusting little man and I'd consider the insult a privilege and thank her profusely.
Even totally useless Oxbridge colleges still get on the programme. The programme makers tried to help them with a starter on Indian curry but they still couldn't get it.
That Ojha kid is poor, I'm speaking as an Indian and even I got more answers right. And he is the Captain! The young lady was the sole excellent player in the team. Bad team selection
