Spoilers For Tuesday October 12th 2010

Post by James Robinson »

Here ye! Here ye! Today we possibly crown the 5th octochamp of Series 63, following on from Scott the First, Tom the Second, Daniel the Third and Eoin the Fourth.

Will Michael the Fifth take his place on the octochamp throne by 4:10 this afternoon, or face beheading by today's challenger.

A win will see him take 5th place in the rankings, but a win of over 113 will see him topple Tom and get up into 4th place. And if he loses, a score of 44 will see him jump over Peter Godwin.

The recap with Oliver (I think) will be around later.

He actually only needs 112 or more to pass Tom, and a loss when scoring 43 to pass Peter, cos he's got a better highest score.

You've forgotten to add that he can still achieve number one position, but that would require nines in all eleven letters rounds, together with ten points from each numbers game and the conundrum.

And what's happened to the emoticons? :)

Is the Andrew an apterite? I love it when people go for HOGTIE(D) (and I've made the mistake at least twice on apterous) as the only reason I know the word is from the name of a porn site.

EDIT: Yup, Mr. Greenway.

I think it's highly likely that every single one of us knows what happens for the next eight shows.

Amazing finish! Great telly, me and my mate lolled out loud when Andrew pumped his fist at the realisation he'd broken the record for lowest ever winning score.

I think you mean PRODUQERS mate.

Like how they were light hearted at the end there. Michael has to go back to his "Bedtime with the Bear" slot on bo selecta' until the finals, if he gets there. I'm prety sure his tail popping out put him off there. (Sorry Michael if you're reading this! Feel free to kick me in the balls if we ever meet!)

I really liked both those contestants. Michael had a great run, and Andrew seems like a quality guy too. I hope some fucking dick off of apterous doesn't come along and hammer him tomorrow. If anybody did that, I'd probably hate them forever.

At least my worrying that he might get the magical 112 went out the window quite early on... what a great game that will go down in aptohistory

There were actually 2 records broken today.

As well as Andrew's 47 being the lowest winning score in 15-round history, the combined total of 91 is the new lowest as well.

SUBEDIT in round 3 and ROMANISE in round 12.

One of the numbers rounds. Target 787?

C2 "787."

C1 Long pause. "787 - I think."

Jeff "OK let's hear it."

C1 Long pause. "100x8=800." Long pause. "4+1=5" Long pause. "No, I've lost it."

Or something like that. Don't like pauses, personally.
