Uni Challenge - Imperial

[brainiac]

Anyone else find the Imperial contestant Brandon smug and annoying, brilliant though he is? And why is he allowed to have 'Brandon' written in front of him on the desk when his name is Brandon Blackwell?

I wish the producer would tell all the students to introduce themselves with their full name - 'Hi, I'm John' etc just sounds naff and juvenile.

enjoyed the clip LB :-D thanks.

As mentioned further down the link, why is he getting stick in some places for correctly answering questions on a quiz programme?

I vaguely remember Wang, would be good to have those 2 characters in the same room!

NAOMI, BRAINIAC asked, 'How can somebody be "between surnames"?'

[naomi24]

THECORBYLOON, I know.

Alba, I would add Freddy Leo - and make it a trio! What a team!

[brainiac]

Alba - he's not getting stick (from me) "for correctly answering questions on a quiz programme." He's getting stick (from me) for being insufferably disdainful and full of himself. I don't care how odd or geeky contestants are, but they should participate with good grace, and not act as if the whole thing is beneath them.

[Peter Pedant]

well they dont
do you remember the kids good at sport at skoo;?

imsufferably full of themselves - the only person I can name who has been on uni challenge is our very own Jim 360

oh and that svelte blonde from somerville 1962

I marvelled at how Brandy cd get most of his hand up his nose most of the time
and then speak

PP - Here's Ted Loveday of Gonville and Caius (never heard of it) with an astounding interruption:

One person's confidence can be viewed by another as crowing and cocky - who is at fault the bright oe or the judgemental one?

[jim360]

A guy who's cleaned up on US Quiz Shows and won hundreds of thousands of dollars probably earned the right to be full of himself though!

I don't think he thinks it's beneath him at all, just a mannerism.

Freddy Leo was great, I was amazed he ended up losing in the final. Still not a peach on Gail Trimble though. Or this season's Claire Jones.

Jim, you don't need to, of course... but are you willing to post a link to yours? I have seen it previously.. x

[shaneystar2]

Oscar Powell from Peterhouse was my favourite.His facial expressions were a sight to behold and I also liked their captain Hannah Woods. I think her eyebrows went viral at the time.

[naomi24]

Who is that pretty American girl? I've forgotten her name. I would add her to my team.

[jim360]

Well, seeing as how you asked nicely ... :)

[jim360]

Claire Jones, Naomi. She is pretty good for sure!

[brainiac]

I think you mean Claire Jones of Wolfson, whom Jim mentioned. Another American!

[pixie374]

Thank you:-) xx

[jim360]

It irritates me that videos auto-embed when I don't want them to, so that I can only post one at a time.

[naomi24]

Yes, that's her. Thanks.
