University Challenge 2012/2013 - Match 8
This series really is flying over as we head into the eighth first round match already. After last weeks last second win tonight would find it hard to compete but it was still a cracking show...Anyway, tonight's line up was
Imperial College, London
Pedro Aronica
Dominic Cottrell
Martin Evans
Henry Guille
Dominic Cottrell
Martin Evans
Henry Guille
Jesus College, Cambridge
Alistair Bolger
Thomas Wood
Alex Kite
Nina Fatherston
A bit of a one way battle tonight I am afraid with Imperial College setting themselves up as potential winners of this series with a commanding 225-80 win.
Again, just like last week, we saw a flying start, with Dominic Cottrell, who proved to be a threat all contest, getting the team off the mark and before long an 80 point lead had opened before Bolger, who scored the majority of Jesus' buzzes launched in to get them off the mark. An excellent picture round on the outlines of rivers I thought....these picture rounds vast becoming a very enjoyable part of this series.
Jesus were stopped in their comeback by Pedro Aronica who had a storming night and was masterful on the buzzer. With him and Cottrell playing this well they will be hard for anyone to beat. By the time Nina Fetherston recognised Bo Burnham it was already looking too little too late as the closest Jesus got was 50 points down.
A cracking opera overture round, right up my street, saw an overeager Kite hand yet more points to Imperial College and Aronica made sure there was no let up. Another good picture round with Olympic Stadiums and the rest of the game went to plan for Imperial taking it 225-80.
One minor point from tonight, not that it mattered to the score but Imperial College were given a heck of a lot of time to answer some questions. Paxman is usually spot on in rushing contestants but Imperial College seemed to avoid that!
Either way that is not to take away from their superb performance tonight and definite place as a front runner for this years title.
