She's a squashed faced young woman, wearing ridiculous green lipstick, posed and pouted through the whole show.
Goldsmiths (her college) won, so you'll get another chance to see her.
Thrusting her chest out when the camera was on the bloke at the end. Ridiculous amounts of smiling and gurning.
Half an hour was plenty, she was irritating.

That was a coincidence, Study. We both created a whinging thread about University Challenge at exactly the same time. :)
and then put the first replies on each other's thread! 
Anyone else on here a graduate of St Catherine's College , Cambridge ? 
Possible, but doubtful, Reynard.

Gail Trimble, Corpus Christi College Oxford was the best contestant I've ever seen on University Challenge, she was incredible.
She was described in the British press as a "TV quiz phenomenon"and the "human Google", while a defeated contestant described facing her as "intellectual Blitzkrieg".

Corpus Christi's progress in the final was initially more of a team effort, with Trimble even getting the odd answer wrong—buzzing to answer "Pollyanna" when the correct answer would have been "Goody Two-Shoes".
The Corpus Christi team was behind for most of the contest until Trimble, with her teammates, accumulated 125 points in the last four minutes, to lead her team to apparent victory.[24] Corpus won with 275 points, beating Manchester's score of 190 points.[24] The winners' trophy was presented to Trimble by the poet Wendy Cope.
However, on 2 March 2009, a week after the final was broadcast, Trimble's winning Corpus Christi team was disqualified after an investigation revealed that her teammate, Sam Kay, finished studying at Corpus Christi while the series was being recorded.[25] The winner's trophy was re-awarded to the runners-up, Manchester University.
Cassandra Jardine, of The Daily Telegraph called on Trimble to seek a rematch, describing her as "the Usain Bolt of general knowledge".[26] Trimble was reported on 6 March as being "too upset to comment" on the team's disqualification.[27]
