[@theomarman1]

I can now see why Oxbridge colleges compete separately, the pool of talent they would be able to draw on otherwise would be unbelievable.

[@tommykl]

Indeed. People complain that they almost always win, but if they had just one team for the entire university, they would *always* win.

[@Ravstar999]

+tommykl Nah, they'd always have the best two teams sure, but every team can have an off day. When you give them 10 teams each you're eliminating that statistical flux

[@Philrc]

i think there should only be one team from Cambridge and one from Oxford actually

[@Philrc]

I don't think that is true

[@michaelfisher7159]

Corpus Christi are very entertaining, especially Emma Johnson and Nikhil Venkatesh

[@terrystickland5770]

I love how Venkatesh just goes with his gut half the time.

love watching Corpus Christi - not taking it dead serious but putting up solid points and having fun in the mean time! cheers for the upload!

[@vlz7393]

what is this magical show ... and where has it been all my life

[@ItsMrFresh]

My first time watching this and whooo boy this is so genuinely entertaining all the way through!

[@KSfan4ever]

Great game, thanks Psi for uploading!! Looking forward to watching Corpus Christi hopefully go all the way!

[@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan]

Good to see Joy Division represented.

[@stylus59]

Can't wait for Venkatesh v Monkman

[@folktheorem]

gjcauilan if Monkman (slightly) won Goldman, Venkatesh will be no problem for him.

[@adamwalker9796]

If we were in the old format (straight knockouts for the quarter finals), then we would have had Venkatesh vs. Monkman.

[@seventeeen29]

She's a stunner.

[@nietzschean3138]

Same goes for Clarke. Both stunning.

I always thought Peterhouse Powell was the cute one

thanks again for the upload!

[@CarlHislop]

Why am I now addicted to binge watching UC? This is the 7th episode I've seen in 2 days and only got ONE answer right 😩

[@thomasjenkins2555]

But you'll learn so much from watching these. Don't worry about it dude and keep nerding😎

[@CarlHislop]

@@thomasjenkins2555 😂😂😂👍 that's true! Might watch a couple now, it's been a few weeks

[@weirdworld2317]

I don’t even understand the answers let alone the questions looool

[@sublimefermion2205]

@ferzy09 I get 80-90 percent if they are from geography of India and Asia. And about Science and Maths. I not interested in politicians, actors, musicians of UK/Europe.

[@lightningmcdweeb]

i hope things have changed in the 4 years

[@sadgirlx619]

This is the most fun I've seen Paxman/the audience have..normally it's so tense

[@saraha5290]

I think Corpus Christi are one of my favourites this season :) Love watching them!

[@justlikeitsounds]

I'd love to see Corpus go all the way. They work well together as a team, all contributing. Bristol looked like they feel asleep at the halfway mark.

[@slightlygrouchy]

justlikeitsounds I am rooting for Bristol. But you are absolutely right, from the first minute on they looked listless, lifeless and strangely drowsy. As if they did not care at all. I am certain that they are actually a much better team.

[@bonnijee]

You forgot about Bristol's previous performances - even the best teams can have a bad day, as we saw in the final last year. I don't mind CC, they don't waste time unlike other teams but about time for a different university to win I think. PS - Paxman not allowing 'macaroni' must have been a factor, made worse by him allowing 'elephantitis' to CC later on!

[@terrystickland5770]

Towards the end there, Clarke seemed to spend several minutes texting, e.g. 23:18 ;-)

[@bigc7326]

Id love to see Johnson go all the way..

[@fraserpaul6583]

Jeremy Paxman sounds so disappointed when they get it wrong

[@andreahoughton5216]

Thank you for uploading. Would not otherwise be able to watch from the USA.

[@stevedl3150]

Do you not have a similar television series in The United States ? Upon reflection, I think such a series would be well worth watching. I would love to see a pitch between the best of our Universities and yours. To wit, a competition between what many over here so often dismiss as a `dumbed down` Educational system and those Universities which are often placed amongst the very best in the world.

[@lucasm4299]

Steve DL I don’t know what you mean? Are you calling the US dumb? We have some of if not the smartest over here. MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, CalTech, Brown, UChicago, Northwestern, Cornell, Rice, etc.......

[@jasonfinch3710]

Lucas M Do you realise how ironic your comment is?

[@JoeCasanovax]

The thirstiness of people in the comments section for UC will never cease to amaze me.

[@diabl2master]

It's KZbin algorithm's fault for pushing the episodes with cute girls in the thumbnail

[@cdsbz3314]

You look quite thirsty yourself with that picture

[@miriiam21]

Venkatesh is so smart

Trivia. Let's all get excited.

[@slightlygrouchy]

Thank you so much for the upload, Psi. You rock! Bristol have turned in a real stinker this time. Hope they can turn things around in their next match. Or are they really not all that good and merely had bad opponents in the previous two rounds?

[@AH-rh9eb]

The questions get harder don't they? So they are only so good up to a certain level of difficulty, perhaps.

[@lMashingMashMash]

Yeah it's at the point now where I don't even understand some of the questions.

[@BelfryClock]

theres a UC video ive been trying to find where a picture round is the lineups for a sporting event. the starter is the 1999 champions league final. if anyone knows this vid, please put the link in the replies. im desperate ngl

[@istvanklein]

Paxman should have accepted macaroni. He has accepted much less accurate answers.

[@IndoPersian1969]

Yup. I'm a new watcher of these quizzes...but it seems to me like he favors Oxbridge colleges and gives them a lot more license and leeway and WAY less scorn when they cock up. At 12:06 Ventakesh is told "Varicella" but he says clearly, "FAricella", and blithely Paxman says, "Yes, Varicella is correct." How often has he scorned contestants saying, "You were correctly told [xyz] but you didn't say that"? Often. But not here. He pisses me off.

[@LucozadeLucas]

I tend to agree his decisions do come across a little arbitrary at times but to be fair for this question he specifically asks for the adjective

[@krishnan-resurrection714]

...stuck a feather up his bum and called it macaroni ....i agree ....

[@RuthvenMurgatroyd]

No. The correct adjective would be macaronic.

[@ItsMrFresh]

When they asked them to identify the composer of some lesser known classical music I was thinking "Oh man thats the calibre of student they're looking for on this show? Someone who listens to classical music in their free time?" but then later when the avengers and studio ghibli questions were asked, I got so excited that I was able to answer them! Even though I only answered two and they answered some 50 questions, I still felt like I was rubbing shoulders with amazing people

[@olivergraf1360]

[@kazisiddiqui6435]

25:27 220 points, but 25:31 215 points. How does that work?

[@aristoteles6265]

Kazi Siddiqui Someone messed up with the graphics. After their 1st bonus question they had 225 points which is correct. @25:55

[@hlund73]

My guess is it's just editing. Paxman's voice over a separate camera shot of the team.

[@IamSuperEffective]

Clarke is so fit

[@memorandom7484]

Bit of a miseryguts, though.

[@gammacurve]

That's what makes her so fit. ;-)

You're absolutely correct - her expression is sexual dynamite.

[@markkennedy9767]

I'm struck by the fact the medical students missed three obvious enough medical questions- right atrium, elephantiasis and ringworm

[@RuthvenMurgatroyd]

27:18 Lol, Bristol decided to wake up after an eleven minute nap (last point gained around 16:00). I'm afraid, they chose a little late into the game to pick up the ball again but at least there was an effort, eh?

[@annasmith6281]

I only got one answer right. This game is hard!

[@castelodeossos3947]

The CC team are exceptionally charming but the Bristol team are in no way opposite, merely not as charming. The Bristol captain's sullenness does not reflect a sour woman for she smiles very sweetly a number of times in this contest.

[@Quarker]

Well, we all know why we're here... Venkatesh 😍😍

[@GroovingPict]

it's nice to see these older episodes again, and a Jeremy Paxman who actually gives a shit about his job as a host. Nowadays he is phoning it in, and barely even that

He's been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease so that is probably he is not so energetic in the later episodes
