Aptoforumite Rhys Benjamin is on three wins to start off the series. Can he get a fourth today?

My version of Mr Blue Sky has a different tune to the one Mr Murray sang!

CURIOSA as an alt in R1

I guess the beaters (7s) in R4 were editted out after the declaration of PENILE.

(9+2+1)x75+9 = 909if you don't want to use the 100.

If Jesse Owens only knew one word of German, how did he know what Luz Long was saying?

ZEOLITE in round 4 and POMATUMS as an alt. to OPTIMUMS.

PLAINED as alt to QUAILED and BANJOES to NOVATES.

Apparently Colin Murrays Olympic story today has been proven to be total fantasy, he should check his facts in future!

My way to 908 was
(100/4)-7x50 then add the 6 & 2.
I don't seem to have a plus sign sorry!
Well done again Rhys!

Is PALUDINE (to beat QUAILED) OK? -it's good in Scrabble

You're going to come unstuck sooner or later if you limit yourself in such a fashion.

No. Also, favourite the link to that dictionary!

Well done again Rhys, Abby totally fell apart in the last 2/7ths of the show. Shame, I was really rooting for her

A quick check through my notes and the answer is no, DC didn't find any sevens. PENILE was best. A few equallers have been cut out in previous episodes, though.

Thanks again for the "congrats" messages. Yes, Abby was quite unlucky. I think that after STAIRS was disallowed and then that dreadful selection, I think her confidence just plummeted.

I could hear Colin whispering to Susie that he'd got the conundrum, which caused me to panic a little bit for some reason. Then I saw JAIL and ER and hit the bell.

I think that if my political ambitions don't work out I could always be a JAILBAKER...

Because he spoke in English perhaps?

Let's hope.

Me too. Abby looked alot like Laura Bertram who plays Trance Gemini in Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda.

According to Colin Murray, Jesse Owens thanked Luz Long for "helping him" with the only German word he knew, Danke, (German for thanks) if Luz Long spoke to him in English, why did Jesse Owens feel the need to thank him in German when English would have sufficed?
Jesse Owens himself, has admitted the whole "helping incident" never happened, but why let the truth get in the way of a good story!

So the last 4.29 rounds?

Well I'm rooting for Rhys to become an octochamp. Even if he is a Tory.

It's more polite innit, like when you're abroad on holiday and you try and speak a bit of the local language.

I've got nothing against Rhys, Abby was just sweet. She also looked a lot like Laura Bertram who played Amanda Trimm in Showtime's Ready Or Not.

Also, Rachel today. Jesus.

4-in-a-row.
