Thomas Carey

Yeah. You know, I feel sorry for people like James and that Andrew guy (who lost to Tom Rowell because Tom had sautee* allowed and otherwise would have won, and on his second game lost to McCullagh.) They would (probably) have won and that they don't even get a teapot for what should have been a win...

I want a normal person to take over. They don't have to be famous, just good at presenting the show. Jeff wasn't famous (well he does a bit of sky sports but not much else.) If a famous person takes over, they will probably center the show on themselves too much. As someone said, Jeff always finds s...

Dunno, but presumably you have to pass your audition too!

Well, yeah. Assuming I pass. What do you have to do / how hard is it?

A few days ago I was dragged to my mum's work and ended up playing scrabble against someone who'd never played it before and despite her cheating really badly (like going diagonally and putting words on the ends of other letters e.g. putting TAXES next to a D which read DTAXES (and my mum let her!))...

You've got the conundrum guessers the wrong way round.

I'm sure that JimDic, or whatever has succeded, it is online, but I don't know where it is and I had a couple of potential beaters - EGOTIZE and EROTISED. Tom definitely messed up in rounds 1 and 14.
