Spoilers For Thursday September 24th 2009
It's another Countdown, which can only mean 2 things.
1. We get to see Jeffrey go for 7 wins.
2. We get to see Rachel in another stunning outfit.
Although, I don't know about you, but comapred to Monday's & Tuesday's outfits I was slightly disappointed with yesterday's ensemble. But, I'm no fashionista and everyone has their own opinion and I've already seen some more of her new outfits, having been at next week's shows, so I have some sort of idea of what to expect.
Anyway, good luck Jeffrey.

I liked Rachel's dress yesterday as well, as did my mum. Then again, Rachel could wear a potato sack and I'd still be on Youtube five minutes later typing in 'Rachel Riley potato sack 23rd September'.

A final vowel in Round 3 would've been O for GEODESICS. Shame
But good start for JB

PANTOUM in Round 8 (or 9?). Bit of a blindspot for DC I think.

INDUNAS as a beater in round 7 and MADRONOS as a beater in round 13. I missed PANTOUM and UNBOLTS though - nice ones.
Was that our very own apterite Laura Leach on today?
Edit: wow, in the UNBOLTS round there were 10 sevens and I missed them all.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday September 24th 2009
Doh! In the last letters round I thought there was a 9, SZORMANDO. I checked it up and I was talking bollocks. Good job I stuck with MADRONOS I thought. Turns out there was a 9 - SMORZANDO. Argh, so close and would have been an awesome declaration.

Yes it was, she was really lovely as well- I felt really guilty watching it back today, I didn't realise I was as far ahead as 50. Was pleased she got some nice spots at the end though to give her a good score.Kirk Bevins wrote:INDUNAS as a beater in round 7 and MADRONOS as a beater in round 13.

I thought I might have got a max letters game today bar PROSAIC (which I'd never heard of), but c4c scuppers my dreams once again! That said, I've never heard of INDUNAS, MADRONOS or PANTOUM either, though UNBOLTS I do know.
Furthermore, how on earth you got near SMORZANDO I'll never know Kirk. That is an insane shout.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday September 24th 2009
There was another 9 in round 12 in this game that the solver produced but I'd never heard of. There were so many awesome maxima in this game - a lovely 8 in round 7 too which the solver threw out.Charlie Reams wrote:That's still the jizziest nine since EXOPHORIC.Kirk Bevins wrote:Doh!

I don't like to spoil other people's chances if they wanna show off but I'm going to make an exception since you asked. These are all obtained from solvers:
Round 3: DESCRIES (I had DECRIES damn it)
Round 7: PANDANUS (sexy)
Round 12: CARYOPSIS (sexy sexy)
Round 13: SMORZANDO (sexy sexy sexy)
If someone got a max game today, I'll have your babies.
Re: Spoilers For Thursday September 24th 2009
I thought of the crazy nine PSORYASIC in the PROSAIC round, but when looked in my dictionary it was having none of it.

Oh, and the audience were bloody rude today whilst Colin did his anecdote, I thought that was really interesting and there was no applause.
(P.S. I will stand up for Colin all the time now after him saying I'm in the top 11 bachelors, that made my fucking year!)

Oh and well done for a comfortable win today JB, it was clear to me that you had the game sewn up after 2 or 3 rounds and I enjoyed watching the rest of it more for that. Can't wait for tomorrow.

Excellent stuff again today Jeffrey, and totally agreed about Colin Murray, he's been really good all week.

I got LECTION and LACTONE in round 3, I think it was and HOTTIE in round 6. (Probably think of Rachel with that one. )
3rd numbers alternative:
6 + 5 = 11
11 x 2 = 22
5 - 2 = 3
22 - 3 = 19
19 x 50 = 950

Re: Spoilers For Thursday September 24th 2009
I was disappointed with whoever it was not picking a final vowel in an early round (3?), because if they had it would have allowed the rather lovely GEODESICS.
Also there was one round where all I could see was POONTANG, except there was only one N
