Thanks as always for the upload. I'm here once again to bemoan the total lack of knowledge of nearly every team about British ecology/ fauna and flora. Those bird questions were all very easy, and no, I don't know all the scientific names. The English description sufficed. Very rarely do any of the contestants seem to care or seem concerned that they have no clue. The bee basket was another example.
We just saw two incredibly low-key (and often also very hesitant) captains. I felt that the two teams were carried by Elkington and Dorn respectively, who interestingly also seemed to be their team's most cheerful members. Anyway, if SOAS can gain a bit of confidence from their performance, they should cruise into the second round. Interestingly, both teams have great problems with buzzer-speed (in fact, neither team has got any). Anyway, overall I felt that this was a fantastic match! Thank you so much for everything, CosmicP!
Thank you, Cosmic Pumpkin, for bringing some culture to Allen, Texas (*especially* after the election š )
This was pretty hard. I only got one no/wrong answer which would have put me just above dead weight.
Hasler seemed to have a speech impediment, adding an 'r' to make 'Margritte', which was allowed, like Paul McCartney singing "I never sawr them winging…" And then 'Kittis' was disqualified. Oh, well, it didn't change the outcome.
And call me a dirty old man but Bursey is a foxemous babe with bodacious tatas. š

last week, a miffed poster typed about the 'lack of inclusion' as the teams were all male.
Well……….
Did Hasler not get points for stammering, or did he indeed say "St Kitts" wrong?
Liu is so beautiful.
Hasler instantly gave his team members suggestions as answer. Should've done a quick look to see if others might disagree.

Lambrusco comes from Emilia Romagna not Lombardia!
Great episode!! Looking forward to seeing these two teams again š Thanks for the upload CP!
Oriental studies school is failing its students on the basic tenants of Buddhism though…
Amused that SOAS with its focus on decolonisation blah blah blah fields an exclusively Anglo-Saxon team!
A bit strict on the St. Kitts & Nevis answer. I feel like that could have been just poor pronunciation on Hasler's part rather than a wrong answer.
Liu reminds me of young Martha Argerich
Miss Pendergast is a cutie!
Iām currently in secondary school and SOAS is my dream university, so Iām very happy to see they got through!
Proud of SOAS ššš
I think the Latvian flag could have done with a bit of colour correction ā is it not a maroon?
Joan Didion mentioned loveeeeeee
This was actually my favourite episode, I got a whopping 2019 correct!
Bravo both teams. š
