Did you get the third one?

Edit: Thus far the max available is 101 and we are only at round ten!

I saw UNDERFOOT, but was more pleased that the challenger saw it too :D

It'll be in the recap, btw did anyone catch the challenger's surname or am I going to have to watch C4+1?

I think it said NORTON (or possibly HORTON) for the surname, something like that.

I don't suppose anyone knows why he is doing this, especially since in the past 2 games, he has secured the win before the conundrum :?

CRAPULENT is the NEUTRAL round. And yes TREMBLIER is excellent, nor did I get UNDERFOOT

If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

I saw CRAPULENT and also TERRIBLE as an equaller for round 2. Wasn't sure yesterday but I think today was definitely a Jeffrey. I'd only just seen the first 3 or so letters when he buzzed.

By the way in the TREMBLIER round, what did the challenger offer? It sounded like MINER to me, but of course there's no N, so what did he say?

i saw TREMBLIER but thought if DC got TREMBLER, then it was obviously not allowed because they would have said it

Just finished watching the programme now.

Got TREMBLIER, and would have gone with it, but with DC not mentioning it, I'd wondered if I'd got it right.

Also got REINDORSE for 9, and was even more confident with that one. However, it's not in the dictionary, and even if it was, it probably wouldn't be allowed, as INDORSE is specifically mentioned as a US spelling.

As for the conundrum, I got it immediately, as Carl was buzzing. Rarely do I get them that quickly.
