So yeah-was horrified at the time-obv have had two months to get over it so not soo bad now-least that solves the mystery of why I haven't been on apterous recently

Shoulda spotted 'unbiased' tbf, and my numbers were iffy to say the least-but then again, they always have been (despite allegedly teaching 'maths')-I've never heard of 'yardage' and didn't expect Ryan to know 'paeonic' tbf. Anyway to be fair the guy did really well, v fast on the conundrums too, so well done to him.
Newayz, thanks for the commiseratory messages everyone 'tis much appreciated. Enjoy the rest of the series and best of luck to Scott!!
ps particularly looking forward to seeing Edward Mcculagh on the show if he makes it this series....just don't lose your first friggin game like I somehow managed
I was heartbroken when you lost out man, but at least you are taking it well. Ryan was pretty good today - such a shame your first game was against him.
Quality game though - great to watch despite the bad ending.
I look forward to playing 'Ali' some more in the future
P.S. The studio is gonna go up in flames whenever I lose!

Too hit and miss I thought although that doesn't stop him becoming an octochamp.

unlucky Jonathon some real good spots on there, thanks for the good luck message as well
. i'm puzzled how u managed to get beat, when i was going through the recap i noted what my score would've been against u and ryan, i was only 9 in front against u going into the conundrum but 29 ahead of ryan (ryan got the conundrum before me which i certainly no surpruise)which puzzled me lol. could tell u were definitely the stronger player, no direspect to ryan as he's certainly decent as well.

Wow Ben. Due to work commitments, I was just skimming through last weeks spoilers for the first time. Love the new avatar. Crikey, what a likeness (unless you've shaved recently).
Shame you weren't on today's episode, but looking forward to seeing you on the prog in the near future.
p.s. your prediction is looking good thus far.

I wonder if Jon will Wynn on Thursday.
Hope so as his twin is playing on friday, making it a Wynn double.
On the subject of doubles, is Jonathan related to Steve Wynn? Steve is a massive name in Las Vegas. After running several famous Vegas hotels, he spent a fortune on building the Wynn hotel. Following the success of that, he built a twin / identical hotel next door called Encore. Allegedly, they have excellent restaurants with food being flown in by Jumbo from Italy on a daily basis.
However, my recommendation (for a suite circa 2,500 sq ft and budget of about £100 per night for the suite) remains THEHotel at Mandalay Bay. Great hotel, bars and themed restaurants.
