Spoilers for Wednesday November 27th 2013 (S69 P101)

[Jordan F]

Jonathan Liew is up to a 4th win, one more and he can possibly begin to worry Zarte. Can he get the 5th?

Join James for the recap later.

[Tony Atkins]

Wondered what Jonathan was upto on the first numbers as I tried his way and only made 258. Then I found out.

[Tony Atkins]

Alt from yesterday's show in round 4 of BOATIE.

[Tony Atkins]

Couple of 8s in R8 but not "heapings"(+a) that I went for.

Yeah I got fooled by that too!

I got HEROISED for 8 in R1 unlike DC who only seemed to declare HEROISE

[Tony Atkins]

And a 7 from POUTED+FIV in R10

[Tony Atkins]

I guess this was recorded the day after yesterday's show and Jonathan didn't sleep that well in between... lucky escape there!

[Jack Worsley]

And a 7 from POUTED+FIV in R10

PIVOTED surprisingly missed by everyone. AKEBIA (R4) and VITREOUS (R12), both equallers. No idea about the eights in R8. Edit: According to Lexplorer, there's only one eight in that round.

Really enjoyable game despite the low scoring and a good fightback by Jonathan at the end to come back from the dead. MAGNETISE was a quality spot by the challenger.

Yeah only one 8 in that round in the current dictionary, though 2 in the new dictionary.

[Martin Thompson]

Can't remember what round it was but I saw BRUCITES. Probably wouldn't be allowed as it is a mass noun, but the singularly form would have tied the round.

Same here. I'm sure you can have past tenses...

[Dave Preece]

Lowest losing score with a nine? Probably not but still very low!

[Innis Carson]

Don't think that record's going anywhere soon.

I had that impression too. It was almost like it was the last edition to be filmed that day and not the first, and that he had to go home that night whatever, so he wasn't trying. Then right at the end he proves he was after all! Must admit when I saw the last numbers I thought he'd had it, so although it's a bit of a shame for the other guy after getting an unmatched 9, he really should have got 649 from those numbers
