I didn't think anyone could replace Paxman, but Amol Rajan has done a phenomenal job of rejuvenating UC in my opinion. A really excellent fit I think. Very charismatic. And it's nice that he reacts so positively when there are astonishingly fast correct buzzes.

Thank you, Pumpkin. What a remarkable player Keskin is. And as noted before, Amol has truly lifted the show. His encouragement and interaction with the teams are really appreciated.

He’s very very good and insanely quick. He does have a bit of the Bezer (Imperial contestant from quite a few years ago now) about him in that he’s brilliant but you could see him getting quite a few interruptions wrong on a bad day and maybe cost his side; nonetheless he was terrific.

Many thanks to Pumpkin. You have taken on the mantle of "University Challenge." And you do it so well. Your attention to the subtitles is first class. I am hard of hearing, so subtitles matter to me, a great deal. Your subtitles do not give me any advantage for answering the questions. You. Sir. Are a saviour for all the people that love this show... Well done...

First off, thanks CosmicPumpkin for the upload! An entertaining match for me, in that I was rooting for the losing team to get a high enough of a score to knock a previous losing team out. And it came down right to the wire. This match, of course, was never in doubt, The winning team was never threatened, and one of their team mates really put on a show. They are a legitimate threat to go all the way. That said, good effort by both teams, and my best to each individual.

@gabsymalone6307 10 ай бұрын

Excellent work from both teams - bonus rates above 2/3 on both sides and even better considering that the losers were staring at a hefty defeat halfway through. This definitely knocks Kings College, Cambridge out of the playoff spots. Will we see the losers again? We'll have to see but it's not implausible. This is also the fourth time we've had a joint score of 350+ this series, and we got to 20 starter Qs answered correctly despite a few being dropped - probably more evidence of Rajan's speed I'd say than the Qs being easier, but what do I know ;)?

@sharanyaray2454 10 ай бұрын

Loved this match. The way Hertford team were admiring Keskin after every correct answer was adorable. Open got off to a rusty start but they were able to catch on and I hope they can go through the repechage. Both the team dynamics are amazing. Balakrishnan Raju gave her contributions at the right time and as an Indian I am proud of her. Also Sourbut looks very familiar to me. Does he resemble any actor?

Thanks Pumpkin. Great match. Some really obscure trivia (for me at least) and both teams cracked them easily. Hope OPEN stays for the repechage. Amol carrying the show quite well so far. One big difference with the Paxperson is the additional trivia that he sometimes gave when teams gave the wrong answer.

Really don't want to seem critical, however, even though he was very knowledgeable, I could barely make out anything Keskin said (nerves? lack of confidence?). Can anyone tell me where he comes from? I think I made out 'computer science (?)' when he introduced himself.

@pranavjoshi8457 10 ай бұрын

Lack of confidence is a fairly neurotypical assumption. Keskin clearly has his own quirks, but that didn't stop him from buzzing (very confidently I would add) on a lot of questions.
