Well, the weekend is over and we have now reached the final week of Series 62. /

But, the mystery of who will be the new champion of Countdown is far from resolved. Following Nicki's win on Friday, we are now down to 1 octochamp remaining in the competition.

But, that doesn't necessarily mean that Oliver is going to romp this series yet, especially as there are still some tricky customers still to be unleashed in these finals.

First up this week are the No.3 Seed Dave Wilkinson and the No.6 Seed Lee Graham.

Here are the stats:-

Firstly, No.3 Seed Dave Wilkinson - 7 Wins, 618 Points
Highest Score: 88 vs. Charles Bockett-Pugh (2nd Game)
Lowest Score: 66 vs. Barry Watson (8th Game)
9's Achieved: 0/2
Conundrum Success: 4/8

Secondly, No.6 Seed Lee Graham - 6 Wins, 627 Points
Highest Score: 109 vs. John Williams (6th Game)
Lowest Score: 76 vs. Nicki Sellars (1st Game)
9's Achieved: 1/2
Conundrum Success: 4/7

In DC for his 2nd stint this series, and sure to give us a magical ending is magician extraordinaire Paul Zenon.

So, will we have another shock in these finals. Find out with Ryan later.

Howard PM'd me about Monday recaps. From now on I will be recapping Mondays apart from the days which I desperately can't in which case he said he would step in.

Keep us up to date James - football wins every time this week.

Dave probably kicked himself afterwards for missing REFLUX
SEEDILY as an equaller next round

DYELINES as a beater for 8 in round 4.

Aborted in round 3 as a player beater.

Got 574 (1 away on the numbers).

ARMIGERS was there as an equaller to GRAZIERS

VIBRIO as a Dictionary Corner equaliser in Round 12.

ALKANET as a beater in round 13.

Jack and Josh on TV in the same week, mum will be proud!

Which is as close as you can get.

Pfff, thought the conundrum was SPIRALLED for a second then.

WARTIEST in round 1, SNIDELY as a contestant beater in round 4.

3rd Numbers Alt.: (8 + 7 - 1) x 3 x 10 = 420

I thought it was RASPILLED.

Edit: Oh wait, no I didn't. I haven't watched it yet. Recap coming around midnight tonight

Paraguay blatantly fudged the numbers just before the break. Surprised Jeff didn't call it.

Negative. I'll be resuming my recapping post Tuesday June 15th.

Which means that you were supposed to have done last Tuesday's recap, unless you flogged that to someone else on the quiet, of course.

You just got TOLD Ryan.

I hope that wasn't too strong, or he might flee to Uruguay.

Yeah I couldn't be arsed to do it last night. Didn't realise I had last Tuesday's to do. *sigh* Will do it eventually but right now I'm gonna watch New Zealand and Slovakia.

Is WARTIEST in the current dictionary? I'm an edition or two behind, and it isn't in mine, though WARTY is.

It's allowed in this one, David.
