Round 2: S V E L N A S I N C1: INSANE (6) C2: SNAILS (6) DC: SNIVELS (7) OT: VAINNESS (8) Score: 13–13 (max 16) Still nothing to separate the contestants, but DC can go one better with SNIVELS, prompting a Terry Wogan impression from Jon :D Another darrenic 8 goes missed, however.

Monday 21st May 2012 (Series 66, Prelim 90)
Countdown recap for Monday 21 May 2012. C1: Champion Stuart Wright (3 wins, 283 points) has looked quite strong over his last few games.
