It's Ben who gets ahead not long after, with Brett not having the FAINTEST idea that word was in R2! Brett does not go 4 Large here as he probably knew doing so and missing the target would make him worse-off here, so 1 Large it is and it's too damn easy for both to handle! "STOP THE COUNT" as Ben shouted in the Daily Chat, too bad we can't hear him 
Hang on, Ben decides to gamble now and go with 6 Small for R6! But, once the target "980" was there, and you have "9", "8" and "10" as numbers, the solution is staring at your face, let's pass on this one even though both now have more than half a century of points! Into R7 after the anecdote about Cilla Black where Christopher surprisingly couldn't remember anything except for that one funny song. Wow, just wow, Brett spots LIONHEADS in R7 and roars ahead just like that animal (Just a note, Jase Cullen played along and he would have gotten this, and I know the actual word means a fish like what DC said, but you get the idea...). Both try to OUTVIE each other in R8 next, but it fails, and with Brett playing safe again with 1 Large in R9, I give up (I had the Omelette Method for that one, and don't ask me why I went for that way and failed to spot the easy way like both of them did). Looks like a double century game could be on the horizon after all!
The crucial conundrum prediction from Colin yesterday comes true and with that as well, we have a double century game, marvellous achievement! Comeon Colin, stop giving praises now, you can save them for after we know who wins. Here comes the crucial conundrum, gosh the atmosphere brings me back to Series 90's Grand Final last year already. Is the answer the SUM of an ENIGMA of this episode? I'm guessing not, with many of us in the Daily Chat solving this easily, with one of us even pointing out that was their audition conundrum for the show! I got this easily because I like Chemistry, but whoever solves this will win the battle! Two seconds left, Ben buzzes in, does he have it??!!! NOOO, he doesn't with a made-up word of meganiums, allowing Brett to slump in his chair and cry tears (yes, that actually happened according to him and I only noticed it after rewatching the recording carefully. You could tell his pose was different after the camera cut away when the time was up plus I bet there were bits and pieces cut out before Rachel said the answer; kudos if the crew actually stopped filming to allow him to recover), for he's now in the Grand Final!I correctly predicted like Colin, this game would end in a crucial conundrum, with Brett coming out with a less than ten point margin against Ben with the conundrum foxing both. Turns out both of them scored exactly as what they did in their Quarter-Finals, talk about coincidence! Forget about the game where Angus Faraday faced Brett Davids, this, as per Colin said and perhaps all of us can agree, was definitely the best episode of 2025 (as of now, if the Grand Final can be as good as this, then I'll be happy to take those words back). Wow, as Ben agreed with me after the show, it was almost as if watching Max Verstappen catching up to Lando Norris in F1 Terms for the Champion Title, only for the latter to win in the end. Maybe not a slow-burner as in here, but it really could have swung either way. This game will definitely live on for a long time and it's in no small part thanks to you. All the best to your podcast and I can't wait what you'll comment on come the next F1 Season. The lights may have gone out on you here, but I'm sure it'll be shining brightly on the tracks wherever you'll be saying your words!
