Spoilers For Thursday June 16th 2011
So, we're now approaching the first significant moment of Series 65, the crowning of the first octochamp.
Well, it's not guaranteed yet, but with his pretty impressive form over the course of the last 7 shows, you wouldn't bet against Graeme Cole being an octochamp by the end of the day. Can he do it
On another point, he also needs 82 points to join the 800 Club, which shouldn't be a problem, as his lowest score to date was his 91 he got yesterday.
Join me later to see how it all pans out.

Graeme only needs 229 to beat Jack's octo-total. Just needs 11 nines.
Mike Brown: "Round 12: T N R S A E I G U
C1: SIGNATURE (18) ["9; not written down"]
C2: SEATING (7)
Score: 108–16 (max 113)
Another niner for Adam and yet another century. Well done, that man."

Re: Spoilers For Thursday June 16th 2011
Really well done Graeme! Thoroughly enjoyed watching you on the telly - nice that you visibly enjoyed it too. You did well to come through against a few tricky opponents along the way, having to recover from behind on more than one occasion. I don't think it's possible to come across as more genial and fun to be around than you did, so I really hope I'll be able to attend the finals to meet you.
PS - TROIKA was a good spot

Re: Spoilers For Thursday June 16th 2011
Thanks everyone. The whole thing was a fantastically enjoyable experience as soon as I entered the studio, even that fifth game where I genuinely thought I'd lost it after R10.
As for TROIKA, I think that was the only time I deliberately went for an obscure word over a common one, and it was entirely because of this.
Incidentally, I preferred going with more common words (TAILORED rather than IDOLATER, TOASTED over TOSTADA) because I'd invariably make a cock-up of pronouncing some of the more obscure apto-words. It turns out GIAOURS rhymes with flowers, not fires, and MAHOUTS, for which I'd attempted to cover all bases by saying "mahoots, or mahoos?" actually rhymes with shouts.
And as I renew my aptosubscription for another year I should mention there's no way I could have done it without apterous, so thanks to Charlie for all the work he's put into that.
Hopefully see some of you at the finals.
