They were so quick in round 1 that Victoria had to add some banter in the connecting wall round. Always good!

[@blabliblublablo]

you know youre not in the group of smart people when you had that teletubbie question but nothing else. :D

[@Harmonikdiskorde]

I am laughing uproariously at these people trying to figure out this sequence

[@KAF128]

I once captained a winning quiz team at work where the only answer I contributed in the final concerned Peter Rabbit's siblings (as was pointed out by the company Chairman at the trophy presentation) !

[@NickiMinajLoveYou]

the american constitution amandmants one was rather easy

[@pikekeke]

​@@KAF128 So then unlike some of these captains you didn't ignore your teammates to stumble through your own wrong answer

[@drjwww]

Just wanted to say thanks for uploading this and kindly ask that you continue to do so. :-) Again, thanks!

[@satnitcboy]

And I love her for it.

[@caitlinerickson7355]

Rarely has being American been useful for this quiz, so at least I got that one. And don't forget Freedom to Petition... it's not so flashy, but it is in there.

[@TheMissdt1]

thanks for uploading- loving this series

[@john16j3]

Thank you so much, love this show.

[@stricklandpropane7090]

"Ah, the music question, nice to hear that!" She is so funny, best host ever.

[@CauchyIntegralFormula]

Glad my being American paid off for something. I got that question after 1 clue

[@SchwarzeWitwe2]

me too!

[@Harambae613]

I was so excited!

[@jennathefool]

OMG teletubbies I'm screaming

[@dkmystery]

oh wow, thx for uploading!! :)

[@jepoyburner]

Damn. Two strong teams in this one.

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

Was it Welsh,🤔 and what does it mean please?🙏 p.s Love QI♥ and Victoria🌹

[@pygiana16]

Victoria asked in Welsh (very well pronounced) what their strengths were and the captain said they hoped they’d be able to deal with whatever came up (rough translation from memory).

[@gerardvila4685]

@@pygiana16 Thanks!

[@jessbarnes8521]

First wall was easier than some, as was the vowels round.

[@awesomdom]

lololol the teletubbies xD

[@star_man]

Did anyone on the Celts team apart from Huw ever smile?

[@cannot-handle-handles]

Happened to read your comment before watching, so I paid attention and … I don't think so? Beverley laughs heartily at 14:17, but does that count as "not a smile" or "more than a smile"?

[@jessbarnes8521]

Yes, during conversation after completing the wall.

[@MatthewPlato91]

Victoria Coren speaks Welsh?! Awesome! Or was it staged? haha

[@SnabbKassa]

Well she speaks French and German, andsome Welsh, but then who doesn't?

I said Punkernickel too! :)))))

[@toadfrommariokart64]

you got punk'd

[@Kawdek]

That last puzzle in Round 1 was insufficiently researched. The last Emperor of China was actually Geneeral Yuan Shikai, who adopted the name of Hongxian after counterrevolutionarily declaring himself as emperor. The argument that he was not widely recognized is invalid, as doubtless those that declared new dynasties were not recognized by those supporting the previous regime, the only difference being a republican form of government prior to that claimed by Yuan Shikai.

[@sidarthur8706]

i rarely get any points at all but i got 32 this time. so what if it's so early in the series, shut up

[@artistsbrandt]

Funny, I was just thinking that I adore this outfit. To each her own, of course. So glad they got her out of those horrid suits she wore in the first series at any rate.

[@dianefields6056]

I think it's a bit weird that people comment on what's being worn on shows, but I'll say that I like this outfit and I'm 10/11 yrs into the future.

[@Shotisspuri]

The poor lady on the Celts team looks like she has smiled a total of 10 times in her whole life 😞

[@jetkirby]

Im embarrassed the Brits understand the US constitution rights immediately after the 2nd is revealed

[@kathleenhutton1566]

That"freedom of speech question"might be one that never sees the light of day again!!

[@BraveLittlePixel]

How can people play this game and practice for it and STILL not understand how the second sequence round goes? They're always trying to reveal the 4th one, or give the answer as spotting a pattern but not giving the 4th step. How ridiculous.

[@pikekeke]

It's usually a bad captain when that happens. Like here when he was provided the answer and instead chose to flounder through the connection until being told again that it's a sequences round.

[@alexandergrant2420]

at 8:00 isn't she saying civilisation is a "super mario computer game"?

[@tyggerjai]

"Sid Meier computer game" - the original Civ was one of many titles released as "Sid Meier's " - "Sid Meier's Railway Tycoon", "Sid Meier's Civilisation", "Sid Meier's Pirates", etc.

[@paulkennedy8701]

No. tiggerjai is perfectly correct.

[@grunclejoe5418]

Its annoying when people reference the answers in the comments section, it's like telling someone the end of a movie before they've seen it.

[@ShaunCheah]

The solution is to save the comments until after the video's been watched, not before.

[@kayehenry3737]

@@ShaunCheah - Playing Devil's Advocate, I will say yes, that is _one_ solution. I skim the comments early in the show in case someone highlights a point I might miss -- like Chinese emperors and references to the US Constitution. A _second_ solution is to say something like, "The Lion question in round 2 was tough although I watch a lot of children's tv." No mention of the specific show, no spoiler, but the point is made. It just takes a tiny bit of effort that anyone who watches this show is easily capable of making. Having said that, I think the safest approach is to read the comments afterward if spoilers are a problem for you.

[@paulkennedy8701]

No. It's like having a conversation in the pub about a movie you've just seen and having a stranger join you and complain that you're spoiling it for them. People are entitled to discuss what they've seen. If you don't want to be "spoiled" don't join the conversation.

[@NickiMinajLoveYou]

pritchard is so efffffin annoyng, I highly dislike his ruddness!

[@luciddreamworks]

You're dang right we have the right to own a gun! That amendment is going to ensure we don't get invaded

[@johnahearn7964]

Exactly! Look at those poor Israelis! Suddenly the government there is letting them openly carry. When you can go to jail for posting humorous memes, you’d better get a gun!

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

First time in a while i don't like what Victoria is wearing.

[@anttibjorklund1869]

Luckily she's an adult woman and can make her own decisions on what to wear without having to listen to a man's opinion.

[@ursula8568]
