Spoilers For Tuesday March 8th 2011

Post by James Robinson »

So, we now enter Tuesday and we still have Michelle as the champion, after another close call yesterday. She now has half-octochamp status, and currently 4th place on the standings. How much further up the ladder can she climb :?:

My internal sources tell me that Apterite Andy McGurn is today's challenger, so how will she handle the firepower of an Apterite.... :?:

Join Joseph for his first current recap later. ;) :) :D

Nice win Andy :) Lost it a bit towards the end, but still a very comfortable victory. I was growing tired of Michelle saying "please" after every letter!

So did Jeffery Hansford, according to the reliable source of the Countdown Wiki.

I didn't watch Countdown back then. It's in the contestant guidelines that you shouldn't say "please" too often. I think when I was on I just said "please" before the first and last letter, and maybe once in between.

ISOPACHS was a nice equaller in round 12. I thought Andy made an impressive debut there. Well done. Although, you are responsible for Michelle going, which will probably make some of us :cry:.

Thanks Joseph, Dan, Josh and Edward for the nice comments. I did wonder if knocking out Michelle might upset her many fans, but she did great to win 4 and I guess the advantage of being an apterite was the difference.

Ed, do you realise that should Michelle (currently no 6 seed) finish as no 7 seed and you remain no 2 seed, you'll have to do the same in order to progress to the semi-finals? How would you live with yourself?

C2: SEATING (7)

Another niner for Adam and yet another century. Well done, that man."

Maybe I will deliberately lose to her to avoid the guilt :o
