Spoilers for Thursday February 9th 2012 (Series 66 Prelim 24

[Jordan F]

Victoria James is still here, in what was arguably her best performance thus far yesterday, but I still think she probably has a ways to go before getting to an octochamp type level. Can she inch closer today. Kate Humble is still in the Corner...and I think I've decided I don't like her. She seems a bit..I don't know if smug is the right word, but there's something about when she talks about words that she obviously didn't find that bothers me. Sorry Corby.

James will recap into the night later.

[Jon Corby]

Sorry Corby.

Why?

[Jordan F]

Sorry Corby.

Why?

Because you were trying to convince me to like her with that video you were talking about, but I just can't do it.

[Jon Corby]

Not really. I just think it's always better to have as much information as possible when making a decision. I often find that annoying people become far less annoying if I like their boobs.

[Jack Worsley]

SIDESMAN in round 7 and TETRODE in round 13.

1st numbers: (75+9)x8+9+6 = 287
2nd numbers: (75/(4-1))x4x2 = 200
3rd numbers: (75-6)x(10-1)=7-1 = 627

I'll be taking a photo of mine to send you as soon as the tray of ice cubes I've just put in the freezer is ready.

[John Garcia]

Round 12 - ACTIVES for 7 to match DC's ABUSIVE

[Karen Pearson]

I thought I got two nines today but as no one else has mentioned them, I'm wondering if I am mistaken! (I was busy cooking so I wasn't giving it my full attention)
BAROMETER
MANGINESS

[Keith Bennett]

BAROMETER
MANGINESS

Was looking for 2nd R to come out for BAROMETER but it didn't, second T instead

And I got ASSIGNED somewhere which may be the other round you're thinking of, so D instead of 2nd N (assuming I wrote them down correctly).

Bet the food's good though!

[Karen Pearson]

Thought it was too good to be true!

Spicy pork and bean casserole. Smells yummy!

[Brian Moore]

Kate Humble is still in the Corner...and I think I've decided I don't like her. She seems a bit..I don't know if smug is the right word, but there's something about when she talks about words that she obviously didn't find that bothers me.

I'm with you on this, Jordan - tries to sound authoritative but doesn't pull the act off, or acknowledge that she's been fed words. Her comment for FIANCES "doesn't look right" was splendid. Nothing interesting to say, basically.

Other than that, she's great.

2nd numbers alt:
(4x5x2) x (4+1) = 200

[Graeme Cole]

OATIER in the GOATIER^ round.

[James Robinson]

2nd numbers alt:
(4x5x2) x (4+1) = 200

Which is what Rachel did, but put in a different way...........

TETRODE in round 13.

11, surely

1st numbers: (75+9)x8+9+6 = 287

25, surely Your sum equals 687

UNIPED in round 1, ORGEAT in round 2, ABETTOR in round 4, COINAGES in round 6, SOIGNEE & WIGEONS in round 8, DUIKERS in round 9 and LLANERO in round 13.

1st Numbers Alt.: (25 x 8) + (9 x 9) + 6 = 287

[David Barnard]

I think I got BERETTA in round 4, I swear I have heard of it before but haven't verified it, maybe saw it in one of Jack W's games, if I was in the studio I would certainly risk declaring that

[James Robinson]

Unfortunately, it's BIRETTA, but ABETTER is a valid anagram of beretta.

Ah right, that's why it wasn't mentioned then, I thought I had 116 points but now it's been slashed to 109 but we dont mind

[Brian Moore]

2nd numbers alt:
(4x5x2) x (4+1) = 200

Sorry, James. I must pay more attention in class. I was probably wiping lasagne off the keyboard at the time. (I won't bother to put that in the Tonight's Dinner thread now.)

[Andy Platt]

Only just got round to watching this, thought the champ wasn't up to the same standard today - I'd only have beaten her yesterday because of her not being up to scratch with numbers. This time, she was showing a bit less gaminess and was a little lousier.

Round 10 weird alternative, (4+4)*75/(2+1), taking it up to 600 needlessly, everything else posted already. Glad I spotted LLANERO, haven't seen that word for ages
