R1: Love that Champ played BOSTIN - this is a very Black Country word so nice to see a local playing it and it being in
R6 solve: (((50 x 10) - 7) x 2) + 5 = 991. I'm surprised Rachel missed it... a simple split multiplication.
R8: SMOOTH+E = SMOOTHE... would have thought Susie might have mentioned it but maybe sparing contestant's blushes.
Felt for Challenger in R13 - always painful to find a good word that was valid, but misspell it...
R14 Alt: (((50 + 5) x 2) + 7) x 8) = 936. Thought Rachel's way was unintuitive - seems strange to make two separate parts and add them when it divides by one of the smalls.
Edit: Made a mess-up in R6

Round 6 must be 50 × 10, not 100 × 5 because you've used the 5 twice. Otherwise it works!

In the '361' numbers round, alternate solution is (25 - 6) x (8 + 8 +3). That's squares for you.
In the round where Susie got REDCOATS (with the P unused), is there a 9-letter answer there connected to something she does with Gyles Brandreth ?

Alt r6: (50 x 5) + (75 x 10) - 7 - 2 = 991, but out of time
