A new best for me as I continue to log my performances. I got 6 starters and 14 bonuses in this 5th week of tracking, surpassing last week’s 4 starters and 14 bonuses. Thanks as ever to cosmic pumpkin for the upload!
Not allowing "V" was really unfair. Come on! You could ask "Which Korea?", giving a team a lifeline instead of saying it cannot be accepted, but would disallow this?
Anyway, ultimately Birmingham deservedly won. Leicester performed well too. Congratulations to both!
I like Ghani as a captain, especially the way he often nominates others. I think his stats are a bit lowered because he guessed a few dead starters. The team seems well balanced, too. Fogel is good as a right hand man.
Ghani reminds me of a stern Richard E. Grant. Every time he opens his mouth, I expect him to express disapproval coolly. Also, I'm glad to have been able to answer some of the last questions thanks to the 3 legs of house.

14:20 The blood vessel which carried deoxygenated blood is vein, of course. But she forgot a moment the initial letter should be answered. Paxman would have taken another starter question without offering it to the opposite team because she eventually knew the right answer, but Rajan actually didn't do so, and let the other side say ''V''.
''Vein, (ooh,sorry) V'' ''No, you lose five points''…… ''V''
Leicester dithering for an eternity to say Philippines when the answer is Denmark…painful. If you’re going to wildly guess, just guess and get on with it.
As always, thanks to CosmicPumpking for taking the time and effort. The highlight of my week. Birmingham was on the ropes at halftime, but they came roaring back. I hope Leicester makes it through to the repechage. Did have a few screamers this time. I also liked that the captains did a lot of nominating.
The Leicester team were very weak on Victorian novels. They didn’t know Jane Eyre or Great Expectations! Two of the most well known. They lost easy points there.

Glad Birmingham won. Leicester were hella sloppy and annoying. Also took the piss when answering bonuses.
That compound answer had me fuming. Probably the easiest question in the history of UC.
Cetin was really great in this episode!

Superb medical question
The winners made a good comeback though the match was certainly close. Thank you CP.
27:56 Cetin is going to get grilled in her class , CK for cytokinase
10:02 why’d they pan the cam here? 😆
Sending love to you all , and every good wish for a good recovery ❤️🩹. Having a child in hospital is hard , take care 🌸
I so have a crush on Fogel :3 he is very smart~
Thanks for your upload CP!! You are our true MVP 😊
Алға Қазақстан!!!!!!!!!!! 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 after years of watching I never thought I would see a KZ on UC!!!!!! сәлем from almaty))) 🍎🍏🍎
Three of the Birmingham students said "hello". This pleasantly astonished me, so unusual.
With respect, each time Leicester got a starter this was more like watching Question Time than UC.

Very pleased with that result given the shameful timewasting that the losing team engaged in while they were ahead.
I was expecting Moloko to be played in the Clockwork Orange-related music round.

Good match! Well deserved winners with a good captain and everybody contributing. Too much conferring from Leicester. Thanks CP😊
It’s not “bad luck” if the answer is completely wrong and has zero association from the guess. Sharing the same cadence or time period is still wrong.
I like Ghani as a captain, especially the way he often nominates others. I think his stats are a bit lowered because he guessed a few dead starters. The team seems well balanced, too. Fogel is good as a right hand man.
got worried that cetin's mishap on the vein v answer was gonna cost them the win, but im glad they pulled through 🙌🏼
Leicester was practically gifted V starter, should’ve moved on to another starter.
I loved that there was a Heaven 17 question! (And at least that's one thing I can answer…)

Well done Mr Fogel ❤
How the hell would they know a band from the 80s?
satisfying game
Thank you for posting🐨🦘🐨🦘😃
Leicester was taking a ridiculous amount of time conferring. For this reason alone, I’m glad they lost. Amol really needed to rein it in more.

Loughrey looks like harry Potter's twin ; who chose to study than acting 😂
Am I the only one who giggled when he said 'rod'?
