Post spoilers here, if any.

JITTERS as an equaller, but theres probably a few.

PLAINEST too as an equaller.

Once again, I'm sure Carol was writing the solution before Phillipa was giving it.

I'm sure she had +8 before Phillipa said it. And then the X appeared before Phillipa said times.

Yes, she wrote it up there beforehand but I have my doubts that Philippa is the next Jeffrey Hansford.

STIFADO as an equaller.

Awfully flat rounds thus far!

It's this new plague of 3 vowel players, it's getting a bit annoying (although admittedly the 4 vowel rounds have been pretty lame too this game).

IIRC wasn't HEADSCARF the Goatdown Conundrum used at COLIN 2007?

(75+10+6*7)*3 as a fun (in my opinion) alternative

That conundrum ruined my perfect game .

pwned

(although I possibly only got it because I have horrors about HEAD conundrums after BLOCKHEAD In my game...)

I had [7-(3*4-10)]75+6

I should have got it since I scanned for head (?!) and just couldn't get the scarf .

Mine too. That was the flattest game I've ever watched.

I had yet another.

(4 + (7+3)/10) x 75 + 6

Strangely, I've only watched two games live in the last decade, and both turned out to very similar in that way.

Do us all a favour, Howard, and just stop watching them completely .

Did DC mention HEIGHT in the HILIGHT/HITLER round. Also ENROBING as an anagram of RINGBONE.

I got the conundrum after the 30 secs just before it was revealed.

I don't think they mentioned HEIGHT.

They did mention HEIGHT, Martin Jarvis appeared to get it.

Ok, David. If I find myself free at 3:30 again, I'll bugger off and walk the dog.

Yeah I've noticed she does that, I find that quite annoying. In the same way, they again disallowed PILATES* before the young lady gave her word, so if she'd have thought quickly enough (and been dishonest enough) she could have tried something else.

She did look very strong and I think she could win a few more, she looked as good as Peter Davies did in his first game. I was a bit surprised at PILATES, I thought she might have the eight there because she played very well, but still I don't expect her to lose tomorrow.

Having got only 73 from 117 with such flat selections, I'd be surprised if she made it beyond a third game. It would be nice though if she won a few more as she seemed to enjoy herself, much better than an endless stream of dour old blokes.

I would.

Don't forget though, there have been some good contestants who we all thought would do good but then lost after only a few days, this series. Griffin may surprisingly become an octochamp. Anythings possible.

Its possible this was a retake and edited together, although yes Carol does seem to premonish what people are going to say.

I'd like Philippa to win a few more because she seemed pleased to be there. I also like her accent and the way her body looks, and wouldn't mind objectifying her over the next few days.

You disgust me.

Also, what kind of plum refers to a young lady by her surname?
