Spoilers for Friday August 16th 2013 (Series 69 Prelim 31)

[Jordan F]

After Dylan Taylor broke records yesterday, we have two new contestants today. The apterous drought will not be happening though, as we have another apterite tomorrow, Gemma Church. Can she get a first win?

Join Andy for the recap later. (I'm on vacation so this is a bit simple.)

[Jon Corby]

Tomorrow?

Was still Thursday night my time when I posted. Usually I catch that but I didn't.

Nice 8 for Gemma to start with.
Shame she missed 3 points on the numbers - alts (100+6+4)x(6-1) and (100-8)x6-(6-4)

[Tony Atkins]

Well played Gemma (and Steve also) for a high scoring game (though not by Dylan or Zarte standards of course).

Anybody get the 8 for a beater in the last letters?

SONGSTER was there. Also GERANIOL/LONGHAIR in round 11.

Very good debut there, Gemma! SPACIOUS and TABLOID in particular were great spots and I hope you can keep this up.

Thanks Jack, the nerves were quite ridiculous and I will never stop cringing about 'aerilon' but I'm so happy to have a teapot, no matter what happens in the next game!

Apterites coming thick and fast this series! Well done Gemma, great to start off with a ton! For what it's worth, I didn't find 'aerilon' particularly cringy but may never stop cringing about "[Plymouth] Narghile" when Susie has the pen-cam at the ready and the dictionary explains how to pronounce things at the bottom of each page.

Unrgh!
