ROARERS may be the best word I've ever heard pronounced in an NI accent.

If the team challenge is chosen, then the team may be discuss their tactics in advance, but after that may not speak, with one player coming forward each round. The others must turn their backs and so will not know what has happened each turn.
Yeah, so, this didn't happen.

Cheating bastards.

Sorry for slow replies, got a stinking cold and cba with anything... Haha. Can we know what the other games were? I was around for the start of the Height one.

No, just you and Umby Pumby.

I still don't think it is unacceptable to buzz without an answer. As far as I'm concerned, as long as you follow the show's rules, then who cares? It's ethically questionable, but not unacceptable. As long as you don't buzz before the conundrum's turned, and you answer immediately when Nick tells yo...

Zarte Siempre

He seems a bit sure of himself, which doesn't make for great viewing. I disagree too, I find him likeable. Confident but not cocky. He was quality today. Didn't watch today's, but when I have watched, he's been likable. He's just comfortable with his ability and enjoying the experience. I don't thi...

As Jen said, I wrote it, just a sentence that makes perfect sense if you're involved. Clumsy phrasing, no need to start any grumbling. One extra word should make intention clearer

I was 3rd spot.

Of the octochamps in my series, Dylan was 3rd spot, Jen was 3rd spot, Alex was 3rd spot, Bradley was 3rd spot, Jonathan was 2nd spot.

Glen was 3rd spot but an overlap contestant, so unsure if it counts.

Callum was also 3rd spot, even though he didn't octo.

For some reason last nights dream took place at the coMK venue. Don't remember the entire dream but Zarte's appeared as a hologram throughout the dream (is this the plan for next month?) and at one point somebody threatened to kill Gyles Brandreth. It's worked well enough for the last 2 years. I su...

How many tributes to a 25th anniversary do you need in a single programme, particularly when there's a nail-biting series semi-final going on in the background? Rachel's bit at the end was fine - short, sincere and sufficient. Alternatively, if Susie really does follow Arsenal home and away, the Ar...

TONTINES as a beater in Round 2.

Not warming to this challenger nearly as much as Carmel yesterday, so far.

Zarte Siempre

Up until the last couple of rounds that was looking like one of the strongest performances of all time to someone who wasn't bothering to check the maxes to see if there were any beaters (were there?) I could only get to 1 away on the last numbers. Is Carmel the most likable contestant ever? Genuine...

Much admiration and respect for Annie but wondering why she's been allowed to come into the finals of the series after the one she was in when other players (e.g. Michael Chadwick, series 63) who've not been able to make their own series finals don't seem to have been given this opportunity?

Wolverton returns are £20, but I can get a single to and from MK for £12. Assume that is actually better for the way home as people will be in MK, but what about the morning bit, how would I get from MK to Wolverton, and what would it cost? Are there barriers at Wolverton or would I be fine just us...
