I got caught by the impalas being valid - thinking impala was a mass noun. Got shown it was valid in apto - that was enough for me and we moved on quickly to the next round... Can't really see how the system used should be improved by adding subjectivity - especially when the subjectivity is often u...

Well i've only done both once - but categorically I prefer lincoln for selfish reasons - the tactics of the letters, feels like you chat more and are more social on your tables. But i do get that bristol has its perks, and it makes it better at the top as you cant be shafted by low scoring games vs ...

Fuck this guy, absolutely wretching.

series 82 got a chance of being considered the toughest now tbh - but would still go with series 69.

Really is amazing how far vegan products have come in recent years. I remember trying some in 2012 and being appalled. The Linda Mccartney duck is genuinely nicer than any duck i've ever had. I dont see myself going vegan anytime soon but having these options has certainly brought my consumption as ...

Having a rollercoaster game like this in the heats is so good for Catriona if she does get to finals - experiencing pressure early on only a good thing

Adam Latchford

Fantastic from Dan, early favourite for the series.

Thought he had some tricky games too in there, at least two banana skins.

Excited to see series 85 break the record for the most octochamps in one series with 82 the way this is going so far!

Adam Latchford

Beserk + speed whilst we at it. Except not speed nobody cares.

Agree

Colin Murray drew in 768,000 on 9 February, incl. one week of catch-up: highest ratings for 8 years, I believe. For 2:10 pm I’d say over 500k is good, 800k even better (Neighbours gets this figure at 1:45 pm). 768k for C4 at 2:10 pm is asking for a shift to 3 pm. that episode slapped... At what poi...

Congrats Adrian, well deserved and good luck in the finals!

Whats the latest I could feasibly sign up to this before the event?

Very very good final.

Final 3 this series all such class competitors - but Ahmed was the deserved winner. Paguroid to seal the win then that conundrum? Outrageous

You're not wrong. Fantastic stuff

Banging semi final. The manner of stu's picking helped massively in round 13. If there ever is a COC or 40thbc or whatever, hope both these guys feature

Round 9 numbers decision to go 1L when 14 behind vindicated by the late letters spot, good tactics and definitely well thought through.

These finals have been pretty good. Not enough misdeclarations for my liking.

I think i'm right in saying FIona had a conundrum on TV that had exactly this issue?

Busy when i'm there just for chat + doing other things in life, available when i'm fine with someone challenging me, seeking when I actually want a challenge. There's definitely people i'd rather have challenge me at that specific time than others which is why i'm also sometimes on busy - such is li...

The sugababes are the opposite of the spice girls.

Adam Latchford

Feel bad for challenger there but it was a fair decision to disallow. I suspect he saw it very last second and with it being such a pressure spot he just couldn't quite remember how he did it.
But fair play to the champ for keeping his composure and an excellent conundrum spot!

Adam Latchford

Most disallowed words total by both contestants in a) any game b) any non-prelim game c) across all seven games in a series finals? Asking because, hoo boy, the series 83 finals have a lot. (a) Episode 5499 had 10 disallowed words. (b) Episode 7534 (series 83 QF) had 7 disallowed words. (c) The Ser...

So... If i'm an average ability apterite AND i found it tricky ... then the numbers game is tricky. And she got it after the break - so no harm done.

Don't be silly Adam... 1. She's not hot enough for the permanent role. 2. Based on just one show, she lacks charisma (though that could just be first day nerves) 3. She moves clumsily when putting up letters. She'll probably be an adequate replacement, but nowhere near 'fantastic'. And that numbers...

Adam Latchford

Great, I hope she does well. People judged her for not instantly getting a pretty tricky numbers game before the break. Training for this sort of numbers takes time, and she came across incredibly well. I think she'll be a fantastic replacement and I'd love her to be permanent cover for things like ...

It's a close call between winning a series and winning a big Co:Event. Maybe on another day I would have ranked the TV higher. The thing that swung it was that to win a big Co:Event you always have to beat at least 1 or 2 very strong players, whereas in a TV series, quite a few champions end up sai...

Whoops formatted that badly, still a newb.

They all have their own subtle differences that make them hard to compare. For me, in order of impressiveness, I'd go 1) Winning anything bigger than a standard CoC on TV (e.g. Supreme C or 30BC) 2) Winning a CoC on Tv 3) Being the player who has spent the most time at the top of the apterous ranki...

The important thing to remember is that it’s who has the longest word, not the obscurest word. So you shouldn’t get het up on bizarre words to the exclusion of everything else.

Seen conundrum tattoos, phrases like 'vowel please Carol' etc etc.
There was once a diehard fan who had the whole 3 minutes of Susie's Origins of Words tattooed onto her labia. She's since educated a lot of men.

Hi all

I'm finalising idea for a countdown tattoo but I was curious if anybody else had one and if so what of? I know someone from series 83 got the conundrum they got on them (asparagus) but otherwise I'm blind and curious!

Adam Latchford

Might seem like a boring one but I saw this the other day...

Series 83 February had someone who made the finals on every single episode. Has this ever happened before?

How many back to back octochamps have their ever been?

Played on series 83, preparing for the annihilation that comes my way in a potential COC / 40th birthday shindig. Nice to see you guys were nicer about me than digital spy was. Just.

Some lovely kind words from all of you. Glad to be able to put on a show for nicks finale. From "the luckiest series champ in history" x
