Spoilers for Friday July 4th 2014 (S71 P5)

[Jordan F]

Rob Jennings set a record yesterday, winning with the lowest ever winning score on Countdown in the 15 round era, just 41 points. Nevertheless, he has two wins, will he get a third today to wrap up the week?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Rachel is correct 905 is best by the simple (7+1+1)x100+5

[Tony Atkins]

No word beaters today but a few alts around eg TANGELO to NOTABLE.

Alt last numbers ((25x10)-9)x4-2

I think Rob was just happy to lose there.

The way things were going Jessica and I thought someone was going to try CAKETIN^ in the DETAIN/TACKED round.

In the TANGELO round I told Jessica ONGLAZE and though I meant the French for English!

FWIW: SPASMED^ (in the IMPASSE round) was CSW only.

Mauro (+ Jessica)

[James Robinson]

Deary me, I glad that week of shows is over

It can certainly only get better from here.

JOINTER in round 1.

3rd Numbers Alt.: ((50 - 4) x 9) - 8 - 4 = 402
4th Numbers Alt.: (((25 x 4) - (9 - 5)) x 10) + 2 = 962

I reckon Rob would of have won today if he hadn't ventured UNINVENTED for the crucial conundrum, thus almost gifting the solution UNINVITED to his opponent, in footballing terms it was like a suicidal back pass!

[Philip Wilson]

Another 4th numbers alt: ((25 x 9) + 5 + 10) x 4) + 2 .
I was a paranoid deviant today, but I hadn't spasmed as I tried that last time it was there and told it wasn't allowed.
There can't be many Countdowns where nobody spots TANGELO or JOINTER!
Also in the PLAINS round, if the letters had been chosen C C V C C V C then my initial and surname would have been spelt out. I know, wow, that's amazing huh?!
