Re: Spoilers For Monday March 31st 2014
I think 32.Great comeback - how many behind was that from?
There were certainly two 27s in series 65 ....
The biggest deficit overturned in the last three rounds is 21, I recall, but the greatest comeback remains 40 (hope I'm right)

You're right about that.Yup, noticed the score difference was the same as the previous round [18] but then at some point he went back to 46 I thought.

The highest-scoring female octochamp over 15 rounds (up to now) looks to me like Grace Page with 829, the only female over 800 points - so that record has gone after Jen's seven games. Lucy Robert's total would crudely equate to 840 points in 15-rounders, but that figure will be massively surpassed ...

This seems to be the trendy way to say it these days. The French would of course spell it 'hommage'.

What is the record comeback on the show?
