Features Gail Trimble
who many hate (on web sites)
as she is clever.


However be Great if Manchester beats the Oxford Toffs.

She's not on form so far.

Oxford Wins

Manchester mad a error by getting a question wrong
then they lost 5 points.

Letting Oxford take the Win
at one point they were both about the same score.

Argh, I keep missing this. When's it back on?

A lot of hate directed toward Trimble is pure unadulterated jealousy. The girl did latin from a young age, and classics too. It's a matter of fact that UC is based around classics - thus she has an advantage. It's not a bad thing she's smart and knows the answers.

However, I hold a lot more envy toward the Manchester team. They held their own against Trimble (I'm not even going to say Corpus Christi, cos she clearly led the win), and only failed once they'd initially faltered.

Great final, though. Trimble held her own (well she had to, her team relied on her too much) by the end, when she saw impending doom, and Manchester worked amazingly to even have a chance.

Yes it has been reported as Jealousy.


Paxman, to his credit,
last evening went on Radio 5 Live
he said many students are clever.
Older Pete Alan presenter
then said one of these girls was offered a deal to go nude in
a Paper.

Paxmen then said trying to be a Newspaper Editor are you
and left.


The BBC News put this up as a Story
making it worse and Plugging their show at the same time.
Very Typical.

There's also inverted snobbery I guess because she is 'posh' and, according to the papers, went to a fee-paying school.

Manchester were looking good in the final but Yeo made a couple of wrong interventions and then lost the impetus.

Real shame Manchester made that Error that led to more
bad points.

On the Wright Stuff on Ch5
they are now going to talk about Gail
and all the debate about her.

So one was not a University student.


"Losing finalists Manchester University
are believed to have demanded a rematch "


Yes a Live Rematch I would want
rushed onto TV.
Rules are Rules.





Do you have a View on this Mark?

One WAS a University Student. It wasn't just a randomer. He just got a job after the first 2 airings.

To be fair, he must've lied at one point but it's not as bad as the story initially makes out.

Yes Lied


And I want a rematch " Live"
with Manchester.


Rules are Rules

You have Standards Lauren
lets stick with them.



Life In The City.

The Guilty One that Screwed
Oxfords chances.


Sign Of The Times.

Should have been a rematch!! What a bad way to win for manchesta!! Lol manchesta!!

How can you have a Rematch when the Guilty One is
not at University.



Mind you
Replace him
and Demand a Live Rematch.
More Tension.

.... Well of course replace the fraud and have a real live rematch... Manchester are not winners, 2009 has a non-winner! But all is done now.

Why are really smart people never attractive?

^she has a yummie brain tho... Mmmmm brains... Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.. Yep.

Yes make it Live UnCut
Tension show.

They would get millions watching.

Trouble is the BBC has no Balls.

Ooh Oxford, you sexy rebels.

Justice has been done

Manchester are the true winners, not a bunch of cheats :mad:

I wonder now if Miss Trimble's fiancé will now consider dumping her, after all who would want to be associated with a cheat?

Yeah! Go Manchester!!

"Manchester are the true winners" Well they did show that in the final... Plus it's not really cheating!:rolleyes:

Yes, Sticks. I'm sure someone willing to propose to the one true love in their life is willing to throw it all away because someone on her University Challenge team left University after the first 2 shows. Sure thing.
