UNIVERSITY Challenge viewers struggle to ignore a contestant's annoying habit.
Contestant Bea Bennett from Durham University drove viewers mad with her very distracting "bouncing" habit.
Monday's episode saw Durham university face UCL as the two teams who have both won one quarter-final and lost another have one last chance to qualify for the semi-finals.
The BBC Two quiz show is hosted by Jeremy Paxman who asks the questions.
But Bennett would repeatedly jump off her seat when she pressed the buzzer throughout the show.
Viewers took to Twitter to share their frustration over the youngster's annoying habit and likened her reaction to being electrocuted.

The popular quiz show has now been given a makeover.
The set has been modernised, replacing the previous set which was in place from 2013 and saw 1,736 contestants compete.
To go with the new set, the series has a new titles sequence which will be revealed when the show returns this summer.
Amol Rajan, who has called the show his "favourite programme," will host the revised version, which will air this summer.
Speaking about his involvement in the show, Amol said: “I have spent years re-arranging Monday nights around the need to be in front of my television at 20.30.
He continued: "University Challenge really is my favourite programme. And from their feedback and sheer numbers, our treasured audience has made very clear I am far from alone."
BBC Commissioning Editor for Entertainment and Comedy, Pinki Chambers said: “The competition is fierce, the questions are harder and Amol has taken to the programme in an instant. This is going to be one of our best series yet.”
On August 18, 2022 Amol was announced as the new host of University Challenge after Jeremy Paxman quit.
It comes after Jeremy confirmed he would be leaving the BBC Two programme after 28 years.
