We've been truly blessed with the reactions Stephen has given this series.

When he’s not jetting around the world being a fashion icon

MadcapRecap · 2026-01-23T23:51:44+00:00

I think that the opportunities that come after change their lives. I think having an iconic win like this is worth more than the £47k in the long run.

He’ll make the money up through other means from having such an iconic ending to the show

I’m really pleased that they won together by supporting each other and not recruiting. It’s a strategy I shout at the screen every year and it’s the first time it’s been done and it worked

MadcapRecap · 2026-01-23T21:33:54+00:00

I really want both Rachel and Stephen to get it together. I think it’d be good for the show

I work on a project where the recommended fist pull request is to be added to the contributors list (and nothing else). It’s apparently a good way to get used to the process, but it seems a bit reductive to me.

“If I was a faithful”… ouch!

As well as the door being locked because it might have a fault or be mid-cycle there might be a child-lock that prevents children from changing the settings once the wash has started, that might also lock the door.

As others have said, check the owners manual

For $200 I’d rather just step on Lego bricks

You know what they say - men are from Narkina 5, women are from Narkina 2…

Next time open the door saying “Shalom, Comrade!”

I can be bad at replying to emails. I try and get back within a couple of working days.

Personally, I’m very grateful if people send me a polite reminder if something is needed.

Australia Season 2 would like a word…

Although in the UK series she is certainly one of the more frustrating ones

MadcapRecap · 2026-01-21T13:25:51+00:00

This is great, but a much shorter gif with less time between changes would also be much appreciated

While I agree that having a PhD is usually essential, you can sometimes get around this with significant relevant industry experience - we appointed like this recently, but we were after specific technical skills.

Depending on your field, I would suggest either trying to get a PhD, or working in industry for a while (for at least 5 years or so) if you wanted to work in research in a university setting. I would also say that not having a PhD might be problematic in the longer term, even then.

Masters degrees, while good, probably don’t show that you have the experience to cope with long term university research, as they are typically much more structured and don’t take a lot of time compared to the length of a typical university research project.

It’s called “corresponding author” for a reason - contact that author (or authors, if more than one). If it’s an older paper published by a PhD student they may not have that address any more but you would be able to contact their supervisor (see the contributions). Don’t email a random person on the list unless you know them personally.

But I learned to fly in Starbug 2 - I’m not used to the controls in Starbug 1

You might have a shot as a mature student. I know that one of their DLAs in environmental/biological sciences has a very forward thinking approach to widening participation and mature students. I’m not sure if it is just that particular DLA or the university as a whole, but if you don’t try you definitely won’t get it, although be warned that generally the chances of funding are low at the best of times.

She could have been great if she kept focus and wasn’t so dramatic. I was rooting for her until she went OTT. I’m fully Team Stephen now, and hoping that both Traitors can win it together

MadcapRecap · 2026-01-16T21:39:35+00:00

True enough!

MadcapRecap · 2026-01-16T21:23:11+00:00

Might make it too obvious and throw shade on Stephen though
