These contestants have not been bad. They have spotted some good words, but they HAVE had 3 easy numbers.

it was just some things like missing loiterers when they got loiters, and a few other things here and there

don't worry, I'm just being bitter

actually...I'm having trouble thinking of good words they spotted...

Probably the first time in over 17 years that I've actually watched a programme live. Must try it more often as I did better than usual. Got the niner and PISTOLES, but missed POTHEEN - never even heard of that, and EXORDIAL.

Frustrating thing is that for the first time in over 17 years I couldn't fast forward through the adverts.

For both contestants to get LOITERS and miss LOITERERS is pretty amazing. Add to that PISTOLS but not PISTOLES, POINT but not POINTE and "degaused" but not DEGAUSS and you have a very weird episode indeed. Still not quite sure how they made it to such high scores.

When I played Jono at COLIN, he came up with EXORDIA in one of our rounds, so I would've played that, but wouldn't have known that you could add an 'L' to it.

I think the answer to that is 30 points worth of unmissable numbers
