Hi, I’m John Clarke Levin. I’m from Ojai, California, near Los Angeles. And today I am cosplaying as Carl Sagan.

I feel bad for Merton they are such a great team but St John deserved it they are amazing McKeown is just incredible!

[coalencanth]

Well my favourites won, relying largely on McKeown. The look of joy on her face lit up the studio at the end! A bit tempered for me though by the distress on the face of Woodland (who I thought was going to burst into tears) and Peplow. They were worthy finalists and very unlucky I thought. Also noticed Hazell has the manners - he started clapping for Merton (richly deserved) and got Devine-Stoneman to hand Rosie the trophy.

I'm too dumb for this I'm going back to watching flat earther videos

As one who watched all the episodes each monday, it was easy to predict that its going to be Mckeown Vs Wiberg in final. Terrific performance.

Thank you for the upload! Sigh, now Monday nights will be dull again until Fall. Wonderful final, I enjoyed both teams so much all year. I was stupidly happy to get one and almost two, Cassatt and Weber, needed an extra minute or five for the second one...

Once the McKeown machine slipped into a reasonable gear, the end was nigh for Merton. A great series this year with the 2 best teams in the final, full credit to both but the correct Champions in the end.

19:44 the only question that I could answer correctly since 3 days watching this series. In the Chinese Classic Novel Hong Lou Meng, Hong means Red. I'm from Vietnam and our culture is very close to that of Chinese.

Just opened a cnn notification on my phone about researchers at oxford finding some correlation between handed ness and verbal skill. The first name mentioned in the article was Akira Wiberg! Happy to see UC alumni doing big things!

McKeown is probably my first crush that is not human

[KSfanever]

OMG, what a fabulous, terrific, exciting final! Difficult questions and a stunning performance. Well done, winners!!!

[xiao]

Both of the teams deserve the trophy and the title. Merton deserves their own series though! They are both equally exceptional.

[megwood]

Wowzers- McKeown is a phenomenon! Congratulations.

[joenmarklund]

As a Swede cheering for Wiberg, I was quite disappointed at first. Nonetheless, both teams were amazing and it could have ended either way. Behind in score, Merton hade to take risks by buzzing early, something that did not always turn out great. Feeling a bit hollow: what are you supposed now? Mondays just went back to being the worst day of the week.

[saucedupbat]

both my favourite teams however, upon seeing Merton fall flat I sided with them throughout the episode only to feel crestfallen at the end. Nonetheless, they are a brilliant team and could've won perhaps with a different mix of questions. Also, the total sum of Merton's score beats that of St. John's which just comes to show how both teams are of equal strength. Maybe pressure took a toll on their performance? what with the look of pessimism on their faces... that said though, many congrats to St John's! Truly an excellent and awe inspiring set of team members.

29:08 Did Paxman just cop a look at Woodland's

[GabrielConstantinides]

Merton got McKeowned :P She is absolutely amazing!!

[shourya]

1155 vs 1235 meant a fitting end to the series, well deserved St John's!, although have to feel for Woodland (looked like she might cry any moment).

[colinbaker]

Rosie McKeown joins Gail Trimble and Alex Guttenplan as a legend of University Challenge. I wonder when she will appear on Only Connect, as they both have?

[dmitrix]

I cant bear to watch McKeown and Wiberg going head to head. They are my favorites.
