Congrats to John. For a non-apterite, his word knowledge was strong and he may be a dark horse if he works on his numbers....

And it's even more likely if we include people whose heat runs are only partially in Series 81..... :!: :!: :!:
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

It would defeat the purpose if the top nine seeds aren't all octochamps though.

It says on the wiki that Luke Johnson-Davies will appear in December. Has he not got enough time for 8 then? Is that what you were referring to?

No spoilers! But yeah, he's carrying over.

It's probably always been like this and I've only just noticed, but I see that the budget extends to four of the posher poppies, but contestants have to make do with the basic model. Saves buying new ones every year, I suppose.

I wonder why people on television wear poppies so much earlier than everyone else. And also, are they forced to? Let's see what Jon Snow has to say on the matter.

I imagine it's hard to buy them in August or whenever they recorded.
