Facebook Team Email Address: Gail Trimble – University Challenge Champ 2009 – Super Brain’s team disqualified!. In the Grand Final of the student quiz, the University of Manchester take on Corpus Christi College, Oxford in a bid to become series champions. Jeremy Paxman asks the questions. The BBC has disqualified the winners of University Challenge for breaking the rules by using a contestant who was no longer a student. The title has been transferred to the University of Manchester, who were beaten by Corpus Christi College, Oxford on the TV quiz last week. By the time the final was filmed Sam Kay, from Surrey, was working as an accountant at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Mr Kay has apologised and said “it was never my intention to mislead anyone.” University Challenge champion Gail Trimble is being pursued by a lads’ magazine for a ‘tasteful photoshoot’, she revealed today. The star of the Corpus Christi College, Oxford, has caught the attention of TV quiz fans – and now no lesser bible than Nuts magazine. The 26-year-old told BBC Breakfast: ‘Would you believe it, my brother received a Facebook message from Nuts yesterday morning saying ‘can we have your sister’s email address, we want her to do a tasteful shoot’. ‘So of course he sent them an answer saying, “Seriously mate, would you give your sister’s contact details to Nuts?”‘ Corpus Christi triumphed over Manchester University to be crowned winners of the competition, achieving victory by 275 points to 190 in the grand final of the BBC2 show. Much of the team’s success has been down to Ms Trimble, who scored two-thirds of her …

I think she’s fantastic.
What a lovely girl! I went to Oxford as well and I’m nowhere near as bright as her.
The voiceover guy is getting more and more angry!
It’s pathetic that people can’t just accept a clever woman.
It’s fine if a woman wants to take all her clothes off, or act stupid and be a bimbo – people celebrate those women.
But if a woman has a brain and is very intellectual and dresses normally, suddenly people want to diminish her achievements and comment on completely irrelevant nonsense like her appearance.
Who gives a damn how she looks? She’s clever – lets celebrate women’s minds and intelligence instead of just their bra size, please!
Contrast with our quiz shows in the states…
your personal experience aside, people are not getting dumber, slang has been present in every time period, and a whole nation doesn’t change over the course of a mere two decades. and yes, it seems that compared to you, I am very knowledgeable
But you of course do being so knowledgeable. It’s people like you blathering on about how examination standards have improved over the last two decades when all international bodies have put Britain on a downwards slide in the education tables.In particular the sciences and mathamatics.
The vast majority of idiot’s in Britain cannot even hold a coherent conversation without resorting to slanguage or using ‘like’ ‘you know’ in every sentence.
and clearly you dont know what you’re talking about
People that mock her do so because they feel and know they are intellectually inferior. Easier to worship someone who is dumb as you are and in these times many of whom who have no discernible talent are millionaires on the back of it.
It has always been the way for the last few decades with derisive epithets attached to those with intelligence such as boffin, square etc etc.
Today we have some of the dumbest children in the world and a dumbed down society.
Don’t get jelly, just because you are worthless to this intellectual titan
if i remember right the rest of her team were idiots lol
What an amazing girl!
CORPUSCRISTITRIMBLE!
What a girl! She is amazing, i wish i could have her knowledge!
She outshone her team members 10 to 1, yet is still humble enough to say they all played well and she only did well because of her subject. This is what you call sportsmanship. It’s a shame, in Britain, we value naked and dumb ladies with no talent – Cheryl, Jade, Kate, Jordan – to name a few..
so agree
smart
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore
I’d go for her.
the voice over guy is my hero
The terrible moment you realise that one team isn’t sat on top of the other.
dam, she’s hot
FAG HAG.
horse teeth
You guys have made it onto the news.
