Enjoyed the irony of Antoinette declaring HAIRDO in that round :D

Well done to Antoinette for making the final four and David for making the final eight. If vulgar words like WHATEV can make the dictionary it's about time they let farters in. ;)

Big sigh of relief from Antoinette fans!

I was very happy when one of the words from my shows made a welcome return (TAVERNAS).

Hehe, only missed the last numbers for my max game, but it was another game of few big beaters.

Yeah, US spelling rules it out, I'm afraid, I think CJ De Mooi had it before it was taken out of the British version. :geek:

Well played Antoinette and was good to see David back too. Don't think Antoinette was up to her usual standard, but hopefully she is just saving it for the Semis (or maybe even FINALS) :D

It's not a US spelling. It's only in the US English dictionary, and it's that that rules it out. Read down from here in the Apterous ticket, but basically "Bacteroid etc - for some reason the search engine takes you to the US entry, not sure why, but these are not valid on Countdown."

I came into this thread wondering if MUNCHIE was allowed so the posts above cleared that up nicely. Thanks very much!

Also, well done Antoinette on making the semi finals! :D
