Anyone planning to watch this?

I was a little like these children; joined Mensa as a child, but used my ability to coast through school/university rather than to achieve anything noteworthy.

DS2 is also of this ilk. We are not doing any of the things these parents are doing, although when opportunities arise through school then obviously we let him participate.

Oh dear. Poor Rubiyat. He'll torture himself over the "CERN" question.

MissWimpyDimple · 10/08/2014 21:42

Oh bless.

IScreamForIceCream · 10/08/2014 21:43

Ahh, he's happier now.
Yay for Rubiyat's nice parents.

I do hope Sharon wins

RainbowB7 · 10/08/2014 21:45

I felt bad for rubiyat. He always impressed me throughout the series as you can tell he is genuinely interested in his topics etc and hadn't just randomly picked something to rote learn like some of the others. I'm sure he will go far in life!

NoArmaniNoPunani · 10/08/2014 21:45

Rubiyat's subject was much more complex than the other's.

thegreylady · 10/08/2014 21:46

I liked Rubaiyat's parents very much. I do hope Sharon wins as she has done it herself but poor Tudor if he loses.

forago · 10/08/2014 21:47

Come on Sharon, trash Tudorsdad!

TheCunkOfPhilomena · 10/08/2014 21:49

C'mon Sharon!!!

I really like Rubiyat too and hope his friendship with the boy from last week is fruitful.

TheFirstOfHerName · 10/08/2014 21:49

I was really rooting for Rubiyat and Sharon to get to the final. Tudor's parents scare me.

If Tudor doesn't win I suspect he will be forced back every year until he does.

forago · 10/08/2014 21:50

Thrash I mean, she deserves to win

Thrash I mean, she deserves to win

Can hardly watch. Poor Tudor. His parents faces when he got a question wrong.

honeybeeridiculous · 10/08/2014 21:55

Come on sharon

MissWimpyDimple · 10/08/2014 21:55

Sharon seems to be more the natural genius, she has done her studying alone.
Of course she is a few years older too...

I feel for him. His parents are dreadful.

Sirzy · 10/08/2014 21:56

I am pleased sharon is winning but can't help but feel sorry for Tudor, under so much pressure from his parents :(

handcream · 10/08/2014 21:56

Haven't really followed this but Tudor's parents are just awful, he is obviously very bright but those parents....

UsedToBeAPaxmanFan · 10/08/2014 21:56

The maths questions for Tudor seem much harder!

SlightlyJadedJack · 10/08/2014 21:56

Eeeeek!

Italiangreyhound · 10/08/2014 21:58

Poor Tudor. Parents are awful - just way too pushy!

SlightlyJadedJack · 10/08/2014 21:58

Yay!!!!

Italiangreyhound · 10/08/2014 21:58

Oh Tudor!! He did an amazing job, but well done Sharon.

SlightlyJadedJack · 10/08/2014 21:59

Now I'm worried for Tudor.

TheFirstOfHerName · 10/08/2014 21:59

I think Sharon deserved it.
