Re: Spoilers for Friday 31st August 2018 (Series 79, Prelim 47)
Those letters were really tricky today- probably the nastiest set I have ever seen on the show, and the numbers were not easy, either. Score to prove it, too

Spoilers For Thursday 30th August 2018
Despite getting his lowest score today, Tony had the most maxes in his run so far. Felt for his opponent as he is probably one of those decent home players, but studio pressure got to him today.

Hi Zarte,
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do I have to state a specific number for the margin, e.g. X beats Y by 9 pts, or can I give a region, e.g. X beats Y by between 5-10 pts?
Thanks.

The regular Nick statement "2 good players" did resonate today , and felt for Paul as he would have probably seen off Adam off. Tony seemed like a good all rounder- maybe he will octo and we will see the series standard increase... Luck of the draw though!

Rooting for Adam to do 8, wouldn't be the strongest one I have seen, but the show needs one and he seems a nice guy, too. It's really the numbers he needs to practice.
