Re: Ask Graeme?

3 of Conor Travers' prelim opponent's have since re-appeared as contestants on the show. Is this the most re-appearing contestant's from a particular octochamp's prelim run?

So that's it for now. Given that the series will be extended until December, there may be a chance for more than 8 octochamps, and it would be a great shame if any of the current players were not to make it. I'll be interested to see if the upcoming octochamps can maintain the standard!

Re: Calling All Wannabe Recappers!!

Hi James, Was thinking of potentially contributing to doing some of these recaps whilst I can- I can do the most recent shows, i.e. Phil's run, today's upcoming show or can continue on from where you are at. Would be nice to get some more recaps up, especially whilst most of us are at home :) Thanks...

Not specifically Apterous, but the wiki has been down all morning.

A particularly good showing by Phil. Congrats to him on winning 8. Could be a bit of a dark horse......
