Spoilers for Thursday September 13th 2012 (Special)

[Jordan F]

We're back. Sort of. We have one of two specials back to back today. This one features two women who each won one prelim in series 66; Gerri Kostrzewa, who was part of CASTIGATE-Gate against Michael Taiwo; and our own Kerry-Anne Alcock, who showed us the legend that is Cavewoman Chic before losing to semifinalist Nick Hall. I should also note that Kerry was going to be a sailor but her plans fell through, and we may also have some dolls to see.

Join who I presume will be James for the recap later.

You presume correctly, Jordan.

Nice to get back in the saddle.

COPULA as alt to CUPOLA and had PERIDOT as alt to PAROTID until DC beat it. Only managed 710 outside the time like RR.
Anyway well done Kerry - a solid apterite performance.

[Tony Atkins]

And Gerri won two games - she also beat Natalie Willbe. (Nice dolls)

Interesting fact: Mauro used a solver to solve the conundrum.

A super impressive performance, Kerry. Beat me with COVETING hands down, were possibly thinking of ROADSTER when you misdeclared in round 6

FIESTAS in round 1, JEHADI (alternate spelling) in round 4, TORSADES in round 6, POLLAN in round 7, ANSERINE in round 8 and SEAMOUNT in round 13.

[Graeme Cole]

Well played Kerry, you win a tnetennba for round 4.

(I only had HAND in that round.)

[Thomas Carey]

I got an 11-max game, incidentally being the first 11 rounds.

Great play by both contestants, and good to see Kerry back on the programme.

Thanks chaps.

4L was for the Apterites in the audience

I think I better retire from Countdown now, as I don't think James Robinson's ticker will hold up if I appear again

[Matt Morrison]

I don't think James Robinson's ticker will hold up if I appear again

I think "hold up" is the one thing you can guarantee his ticker will always do when he sees you.

[Michael Wallace]

Disgusting.
