Their starter rate was pretty much the same.<br /><br />Downing were let down by their bonus rate of just 9/27, compared to the 25/42 they achieved in the heat. Add to that their not being as hot on the buzzer this time, and there are your reasons.<br /><br />Still, Downing should not be ashamed of what happened; they were great first time around, and may have just had an off-day this time.<br /><br />Well done to Queen's though, and we'll see how they perform next time. Keep up the buzzer work, and we could see more surprises out of them. Who knows?Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.com
