After discussions in the bar after the studios, I finally got to speak to the wonder that is Demi, the shuffler. Great to speak to but hard to hypnotise. I'm still waiting for DTCSX and AIO on the top of a pile!

Please read my comment made in the now rather boring Danielle Appreciation Thread.

Yep. I said this already too, but Demi is really cool. She also gave me the real letters distribution as used on the show, so I'll update Apterous with that soon (at a glance it looks like we deduced it very accurately, but you can never be sure of the exact numbers of Es and so on.) I think Kirk grilled her about her shuffling technique but she's some magic you just can't reproduce automatically...

Noooo - her shuffling technique is the best - I didn't grill her at all. I was teasing her to try to get her to produce high maximums but she wasn't having any of it.

Grill means interrogate, not criticise, you wang.

Oh, I'm not very good with words.

Note: would also have been a bit harsh if he'd cooked her under a grill for her shuffling technique.

Last time I went to the studios, I enjoyed listening to her happily singing to herself while shuffling the letters! Maybe that's part of the magic to which you allude
