Someone else hoping to reach a nice milestone is Claudia, who has reached game 7, and will hopefully try and become an octochamp tomorrow.
Quite different compared to last year when a handsome, if slightly overweight, 21-year-old admin assistant from Mirfield, West Yorkshire, was about to start his own quest for glory on this show (That's me, incase you haven't, or couldn't be bothered to work it out), and I think we all know how that ended up.
I'll be back later for the recap.
