Spoilers For Friday March 5th 2010
Yet again, the week is reaching it's natural end, but we do have the possibility of having a second octochamp of the series within a few days. Raheel has made it to 5 wins, despite his best attempts to throw the game away at the beginning and end of yesterday's show.
Still can't get over the 3 max in round 2 yesterday As Jeff would undoubtedly say, "UNBELIEVABLE!"
Is our the champion the "Raheel deal", or is he going to be "Mirza-ed" by today's challenger

It sounds a bit like "murdered", obviously we all hope he doesn't really get murdered, but he could be "murdered" of sorts on the show today.Michael Wallace wrote:Raheel deal, excellent.

I wonder what lies at the end of today's show. Raheel or no Raheel?
Sorry that was terrible!

If anything, you should also thank Marc, since I pinched "Raheel deal" from something he posted in yesterday's spoilers.
No plagiarism intended, Marc.

Re: Spoilers For Friday March 5th 2010
I was there in the audience and the crew and cast must have been tired at the end
of a long Tuesday. Rachel in reply to Jeff's opening spreach said "Olympics" instead
of "Oscars" and then cracked up - you couldn't see the join in the edit when just broadcast.

Re: Spoilers For Friday March 5th 2010
No blunders by the crew in that part - it was on Wednesday's show that Suzy's earpiece
fell out right at the end of her monologue and she had to redo the last sentence.
Nice to hear funny man and football fan, warm-up guy Dudley, mentioned.
In the break he likes to discuss the teaser with the audience (as well as who is
going to the match that night). In the first break he was discussing with the woman
in front of me why the answer was BACKREST - I had to put them right.

Re: Spoilers For Friday March 5th 2010
Somebody ought to have made at least some attempt to make that numbers game interesting!
(8 × 7 - 3 × 2) × 10
Did anyone think up a more interesting way?

Re: Spoilers For Friday March 5th 2010
On the original filming of the conundrum, Jamie buzzed on 27 seconds to say he
didn't know the answer but just wanted to buzz in. So the time was restarted but
the music started again from the beginning and didn't stop when Raheel buzzed on 29
to say he didn't know either. They reran the condundrum with the instruction not to buzz.
The final error was we all cheered for the closing credits, but there were no credits,
so we had to do that again. Time for a rest!

Re: Spoilers For Friday March 5th 2010
Possiblely. I even tried to justify my idiocy to myself by saying it was weird for a word that ended -le to just drop the -e and replace with -y instead of adding -ly.

Alec, you are most definitely a pedant. Wait, have I spelt that right or did I mean something else?
