• Daisy Christodoulou reappeared on the programme, again representing Warwick, in a Christmas special edition in December 2011, this time alongside Vadim Jean, captain Christian Wolmar and Carla Mendonça. In the first round, Warwick won with a score of 225, giving them a place in the semi-finals, in which the team scored 265, securing their place in the final. In the final, the team secured a much lower score of 60, and lost out to Trinity College, Cambridge. In the first round, Christodoulou answered the most starter-for-ten questions out of both teams, and in the semi-final, she also answered many starter questions correctly.
