Not a good day for me today, raw score of just 77, and both both contestants would have beaten me.

There was a "Greg Scott" on the show today. I don't believe it was the British Greg Scott. I suspect he was American. One of the American people in the game show community said so, and I have good reason to believe that.

Is that serendipity or what?

ABOULIA and MARABOU as beaters in round 1, PROEMIAL in round 8 and TURFIEST in round 12.

I watched today's show (first show of this series I've watched) as a mate who works with Greg said he was on the show and didn't want to miss his banter! A confident contestant :P

Correction!

This person was an American who somehow hopped a plane to England to work with Greg Scott.

Hold the mayo -- it was the British Greg Scott!

What if he's the runner-up of the series and he wins 1,000 pounds? Will it go to charity?

Did you read the blurb under the YouTube clip? As was said on the show yesterday, Greg used to be the warm-up comedian and therefore got to chair it.

I know he used to be the warm-up person, but I'm surprised that doesn't make him ineligible!

We don't have to worry about that 1,000 pounds going to charity since he lost his game. Is he still eligible?

It's not like he could have benefitted in any way by having once been involved in the show. What were you thinking of — that Suzie would allow any word he offered, even if it was invalid?

Hugh, I was thinking that if he knew anyone on the show, past or present, that he could have gotten help on how to play the game from them.

On any American game show, the crew does not allow anyone who knows anyone else that works for the network (CBS for example) for this reason. I have seen it happen before, and people just let it slide because all they care about is having a good time.
