My picks, game by game:
MD vs DB: Mark by 30-40
GC vs NR: Graeme by 15-20
PK vs DT: Paul by 25-30
CW vs JW: Jayne by 10-15
Semi 1: MD vs JW: Mark by 15-20
Semi 2: GC vs PK: Graeme on a crucial
Final: MD vs GC: Mark by 15-20*

*I actually think who ever had control of the board will be VERY critical in the final if this happens, and if Mark has continued to keep his speciality of four large and Graeme has kept his of six small. I in virtue picked Mark here because I think he's been able to get in slightly more practice than Graeme, but control of the numbers could very well be key.

In previous series Charlie hasn't minded people letting slip if one of the participants couldn't make it.

Maybe I was reading too much into it put I've felt James was kind of hinting in at least one spoiler/recap thread that Matt gets in some how.

Anyone confirm or deny?

I can confirm that Matt definitely ISN'T in the finals.

Heard it from himself.

James told me that noone dropped out, so the games in the original post are for definite.

Finals starting today. Mark is currently favourited to win by 73%, but apart from him only Graeme has votes.

Mark Deeks vs David Butcher today. No prizes for guessing who'll win.
(This is no spoiler - I'm just saying that it is very unlikely that Mark will lose. Not even seen it yet.
