Spoilers for Friday April 12th 2013 (Series 68 Prelim 24)

Post by Jordan F »

As we end the week, Giles keeps on impressing. In 5 games he's already broken the 600 mark, with an average still over 120 points per game. Can he get the 6th under his belt to end the week?

Join Andy for the recap later.

Presumably Giles will be doing the recap today then. Otherwise, you have just spoiled the result of todays game.

Spooky that Nick started talking about Jimi Hendrix. I'd just been watching Jimi on a SKY Arts prog I taped from last week. Brilliant guitarist.

Another superb game Giles against a very good opponent in Alan. Well done. Looking forward to seeing your run finish next week. ;)

Great game. Alan put up a hell of a fight, but Giles got yet another incredible victory. His average score is going to be huge!

This was an important game for me too, as it is the final one I get to watch before filming. Let's see how I did against today's contestants.

R1 - SWAGGER
R2 - UNEARTHS
R3 - On Target - 8 + 8 = 16 x 50 = 800 - 9 - 3 = 788
R4 - FAMINE (I also spotted INFLAME but wasn't certain if it was spelt like that or as ENFLAME so wouldn't have declared it in case).
R5 - DUTIES (I have a bad habit of spotting DUTIES but not looking for the D or the S to make STUDIED/S)
R6 - On Target - 8 + 1 = 9 x 100 = 900. 4 x 7 = 28 - 6 = 22 + 900 = 922
R7 - MEAGRE
R8 - RATOON
R9 - 1 Away (75 + 9 = 81 x 4 = 345 - 5 = 341... By the time I realized I should have used the 8 the clock was gone and it was already been declared.)
R10 - DEPOSIT
R11 - MOONRISE (I love this word for some reason. Went unnoticed in the studio.)
R12 - CRANKS
R13 - JOTTERS
R14 - 809 - (6 + 4 = 10 x 8 = 80. 6 + 4 = 10 x 80 = 800 + 9 = 809)
Conundrum - Do I need to tell you Giles beat me. Damn, he's good at those.

Final scores: Giles, as you guessed, beat me 129-67. Alan also beat me 95 - 76. Missing the nine and the numbers game really let me down this time around.

Right. So then... no more playing along. On Monday I do it for real.

Another great game and fantastic score

Final numbers game:
(9+4)=13;
(8+6)x4=56; 56+6=62; 13x62=806

I was very impressed with Alan today.

Giles is going to smash Jack Hurst's octochamp record; how close can he get to the holy grail that is 1,000 points?

Good challenger there, I had to gamble moorlines too at home, only had LOONIER. :)

Well done again Giles, is 130 the high score for the new format?

Great game by both, I thought Alan had done it with MOORLINES, for some reason I thought it sounded familiar. I may have gone for it too had I seen it. Well done to Giles for getting your highest score yet and against your toughest opponent so far.

Yup, the previous best was 129 by a certain Giles Hutchings on his début 9 days ago............ :geek: :ugeek:

Supreme effort again, Giles. Alan was a very good opponent too. Probably could have won a few if he hadn't met you. :)

733 points now, an average of over 122 :!: :!: :shock: :o 8-)

Especially since Thomas Carey has also altered his post. Don't worry Gavin, it was nothing mind blowing.

Seconded.

I still can't help feeling that Alan would have been a serious contender for the semi-finals had he not come up against Giles. Fantastic non-apto contestant, one of the best imo.
