Original air date 16.10.2017

[@GRAND4x4AutoAccessories]

Krol is a good leader, plus he was quick on the buzzer. Corpus Christi is definitely a top contender this year as well. Thanks for the upload!

[@cansomeonehelpmeout]

Krol is amazing!

[@Gytax0]

Amazingly arrogant

[@FrozenCompass]

tbh if i carried my team like that i'd be arrogant too

[@dorothygilmartin7770]

Sartre won 1964 Lit prize, not Hemingway. Hemingway died in 1960. He won in 1954. Paxman said 1964.

[@byzantinegold]

Something about that question didn't smell right!

[@MrPotsy81]

Yes, Hemingway committed suicide in Idaho in 1960.

[@louisericketts6738]

Some inspired guessing from Corpus Christy. Great episode.

[@Gracken420]

Krol, big player, fast and accurate, he hardly needs his team. And while Royle is really good, I don't think St. Anne's would make it in the next round anyway. Shame for him.

[@adamwalker9796]

They came back. Then went out again, because well...they're St. Anne's.

[@pregerzoreo4886]

​@@adamwalker9796 what does this mean

[@Ramboost007]

The amount of wasted questions related to the US surely makes the gamble of getting an American in your team all the more worth it, although we have a team of two members of apparent South Asian descent fucking up Indian geography. Corpus Christi got lucky with the easier bonuses going to them as well as fluking a lot of times, but Krol is still solid.

[@EvilHopeless]

Ramboost007 They both have Indian names, and honestly as an Indian I was kinda disappointed they didn’t get those simple questions correct. They would have ended with 145 points

[@thomas261989]

Having an Indian name does have anything to do with knowing things about India. They were both obviously born and raised in the UK and the Netherlands and should be treated as a British and a Dutch, not Indian.

[@Ramboost007]

Well Dihal didn't fuck up Dutch geography in their playoff game so that's retribution there.

[@danendrahartawan9268]

Krol is on a Roll!!

[@Sandra27HK]

Krol (I think) has the highest personal score of R1: 9 Starters on a variety of topics: 1940s (maps), Neptune, Hippocrates & Galen, 90 degrees, William, Wegener, Wittgenstein, joker, Yates. Impressive as St. Anne's put up a fight even though they had vague bonuses like English rebellions & popinjays. On the plus side Royle snapped up starters 'electrum' and 'cobalt' as well as the bonuses on 'Chemistry' (Surprise! Surprise!)) and 'CGS units'. Good anticipation by Chandramohan of SDGs though couldn't believe they f*cked up 2 Indian geography questions, considering that's probably where the lovely sweater came from :P

[@unclerogerANKI]

Except I can't stand his smirks, his "except it isn't" and his overall demeanour

[@GLASBE]

Hemingway is 54, not 64. He'd been dead by 64.

[@gordygibson8776]

Hemingway 1899 - 1961. His Nobel prize was in 1954.

[@kalenzypie]

Krol is brilliant and super super cute

[@twelvetwelvetwelve1212]

Krol is one of the best quizbowl players in the UK btw

[@castelodeossos3947]

Funny how there's always comments about contestants' arrogance/smugness. Such comments invariably say a lot about no one but the commentator. Have watched a good many UC episodes and can recall only one contestant whom I would call arrogant, and certainly not Mr Krol.

[@robertolopez1537]

Impressive match today

[@izabela1035]

Love Karol he is amazing z

[@andreysudakov4020]

I don't want to be rude, but I think Mr. McDougall can't look more smug, even if he tries really really hard.

[@Sandra27HK]

Welllllll he did get back-to-back starters 'Aristotle' and the 'Iliad' and the team scored a full house on both follow-up bonuses on 'islands' and 'physics', a solid 50 points in the bag at the start ...

[@danieljude914]

This is rude

[@unclerogerANKI]

What an effort from somebody studying Classics!

[@Sandra27HK]

@Andrey+26likers I prefer well-earned smugness to hypocrisy coz if u 'dont want to be rude' then dont!
Any comments on the actual quiz or did all of that sail right through that space between your ears? :)

[@robertolopez1537]

Can St.Anne's make it to the next round so we can see more of Dihal.

[@Sandra27HK]

She looks very cool at 1:51 :P

[@robertolopez1537]

Sandra27HK Hahaha, thats funny XD!

[@alfredprunesquallor]

McDougall looks like the Wings, huh?

[@Sandra27HK]

Corpus Christi's next Mr. Trimble?

[@charlieoconnor6968]

#Upthesteds

[@PureExile]

15:00 Rimsy-Korsakov? LOL

[@izabela1035]

Why are they drinking so often

[@Correctrix]

Tallpoppy syndrome.

[@thomas261989]

Nerves make you thirsty. Honestly, people don't know that?

[@gordygibson8776]

Studio lights and nerves.

[@MichaelKingsfordGray]

Mostly a test of memory for names, not a test of actual knowledge or understanding.
