I certainly hope so. As I have already mentioned, that girl is a fine piece of ass. I may even start a thread to discuss all things Griffin.

Is there enough time for her to get into the seed list?

Certainly there is.
She could make number 8 seed by Friday, and number one seed by Thursday next week. The preliminaries go on for a further couple of weeks or so after that.

So Phillipa could even become an octochamp and win the series.

Was it my imagination, or was there an N in the round where someone just got PARTAKE?

I thought for a second then that SHITTING was available in round 9 :oops: :lol:

EDIT: I found it funny that Carol gave a Maths lesson on the 2nd numbers, even though the same method used in the 2nd numbers, could've been applied to the 1st numbers as well (adding/subtracting 2 then multiplying by a number) but there was no lesson then.

EDIT 2: REMINDED?

Think letters were VICTIONAL (Not in that order) so no CONVICT sorry.

Yes there was an "N" but the past participle of PARTAKE is partook I think.

Am I alone in being strangely attracted to Phillipa? Is it because shes so out of context or because shes so horsey?

Couple of things in common with Joseph here. Same solution for round 5. And I also mistakenly saw SHITTING. It was only when I saw that I had two letters left over that I realised that there weren't two Is.

I made a bit of a meal of round 10, coming up with (7 + 75 - 25) x 5 + 7.

According to the dictionary, you can have PARTAKEN:

PARTOOK - past
PARTAKEN - past participle
