    Ohhhh okay. Yay I want York to win too!!! But I also want Magdalen to win next week.

    And then I'll be in a massive dilemma for the final.

    No, but I am good friends with him, which was my motivation to start watching University Challenge. I never watched it before this series.
    I have a crush on Donnelly! First time I've ever fallen for a student on UC

    I've watched the programme for years, love it. I'm really rooting for York this year!
    They were brill last night. Although the quarter-final format kind of stumped me this year, but it's just as well it changed otherwise York would have been eliminated at the beginning of the year!

    They should have a prize for that too! (although I suppose that would raise accusations of dumbing down, haha). No-one would stand a chance against Donnelly if I were the judge! That lovely shy sweet expression of his, and that hair...He even looked good in the first round when he had a ponytail. I never knew Maths and Computing Science could be so sexy!

    York have just been a breath of fresh air all around as far as I'm concerned. I really want them to win.

    Magdalen have to go through!

    But then I'll be in a massive predicament. I feel like I should support York as the underdogs but I love Magd so much!

    Also Clemo vs. Haddad-Fonda AND Chan
