Re: Spoilers for Thursday 14th September 2023 (Series 88, Heat 55)
I don't really see being a word-spotter as Susie's primary job. But it is part of her (and the shadowy back-room earpiece-lovin' word spotters') job. When even Apterites at as crap a level me (aka Crapterites :mrgreen: ) can best her at least once per show, she's let her standards slip too far. At ...

Susie had a terrible day today. I wonder was there a talented back-room word getter who was missing for that episode? Missing so much. Failing to point out that the R could go on the end of OBLIGE was a particular clanger. And there was a round where DC only got 7, when ANTEROOM (a regular CD word) ...
