Dan McColm is halfway there, 4 wins, 3 of them centuries, can he get a 5th?

Join Callum for the recap later.

I went for that but ODE3 says mass noun.

There were beaters in the PITEOUS/TOPPLES round though.

It is but it's found in the search bar. Some mass nouns are pluralisable and that's as good a reason as any for saying that this is. Especially since lots of them aren't found.

Apterous allows it, but if Susie didn't get it then maybe she would not allow it.

LADRONE, however, is new in ODO and not in ODE3 nor apterous.

Nice to see Dan feeling better and only dropping 2 points all show. Not sure how Samantha could be described
as holding him back? Maybe less skilful on the letter selections?

MILEAGES was last disallowed in 2009 http://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_4927 but it was allowed
http://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_1187 in 1991. Not sure if the change to odo makes it okay again?

Nicely done again, Dan! It was only a matter of time before you got a big score like this.

PULPIEST for the round 4 beater. Also REGALISM (R1), DUENNAS (R2), FATWA (R10) and PADOUK (R11).

I had MILAGES allowed in my fourth game so I'd like to think that Susie would allow it with the extra E too, unless the dictionary definition has changed to suggest it should not be allowed. http://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_5401

Samantha is a returner, having appeared in Series 51, losing by just 10 that time. Great performance watching in the audience, Dan. ;) :) :D
