Never have I been happier that a team lost than tonight. :smile:

I'll let the medic off for not knowing an alpha particle. Probably the pressure got to him.
Questions on Russian cities and enzymes were amusingly tricky

I absolutely destroyed tonight's episode, even got the one on zugzwang... so much easier on TV than doing it for real!

Am I the only person who thought ''Suebsaeng'' sounded like ''Super Saiyan''?

Tonight's was fun - fast moving and clever. Both teams entertained - I thought Gallant in the Kings team was a bit of a laugh.

It looked like Gratrex was cumming / battling demons inside his head every time he answered a question

^this. Guy got so worked up :')

Having said that Gallant gets on my nerves and it's amusing to see him get things wrong. I knew all the lovely African coastline questions and only wished they'd have kept them for another two years and given them to me </3

Also another enzyme question? What is it with UC and enzymes recently. :s

I have to same I found Middleton far more attractive than Lenon. Although I am sure I am in the minority.

"India" is a good name - I think it would be nice to be called India.

i thought he was irritating... trying to impress Lenon with his chest hair :rolleyes:

Hood just looks like a Poor man's version of Pemboke Foxall. They look virtually the same to me. Except hood things the Medway is in the ocean

Lol, I loved that one too. Relocating Kent to somewhere off Hawaii.

It was funny how Kings did exactly what they'd done in the previous episodes, eg, basically remain comatose until there was only about 5 minutes to go and then explode into a frenzy of action.

I love UC and have now converted the missus too. She was taking the piss whenever I knew an answer that the contestants didn't know and looked irredeemably self-satisfied but now she is hooked and whenever she gets one, she is grabbing my elbow and giving me the knowing smug nod with the best of them.
