A new week begins after that brief hiatus due to racing. And since our last episode featured Chris Marshall becoming an octochamp, we start this week with two new contestants. Who could be the next octochamp? Coming straight off the special as the guest this week, swimmer Mark Foster.

Join Graeme for the recap later.

SECONDO in round 6 and APOTHEMS in round 11.

ABSENTIA is actually invalid as it only appears in combination.

Quite a high scoring contest today by C1 Dad was saying how he knew she got the 9 the second the A came up. I was so close to 9's in the last 2 letters rounds i argued with the TV

Zyzzyva found some nice words again.. Most of which i am jealous of 2 of which were 9's in R2. WRITABLE in R8 which i'd never guess..

Rachel also did the first and last numbers games the way i did them, she must have been copying me..

Jessica

BTW i think its the 6th today? Though being on study leave i barely remember what year it is!

3rd Numbers Alt.: ((100 + 6) x (9 - 1)) - (5 - 4) = 847

FOLIAGE in round 3, SPREADS in round 4, ESCAPING in round 7 and DHURRIE in round 13.

The flange was in the crowd for this. We wondered about ABSENTIA at the time - I tweeted them about it and they said it was a mistake and they'd edit it out. Guess they forgot.

Also, I got CALUTRONS in round 2 and ABSTINATE in round 12. One of them's actually a word! And one isn't.
