Topic: Esther Rantzen's debut

Well...

That didn't go as badly as Paul made it sound. I certainly didn't think she made a lot of pedantic challenges. In fact, I think Nicholas denied her challenges earlier (particularly "deviation from English as we understand it") that he'd often grant. She stopped challenging much after that, but when she actually got the subject, thought she spoke well.

So I'm not sure why Paul Merton called her their worst contestant. Perhaps the second episode from this recording session will have the answer?

My thoughts exactly, James. I thought Esther made a good effort on her first appearance.

Perhaps something happened before or after the recording that wound Paul up. Even Nicholas seemed to be giving her a hard time when he's normally a lot more lenient towards newbies...

I suspect many people loathe her...
