Six wins for Gemma Church, and what should solidly be the number 3 seed is in her hands either way. Can she improve her resume with a 7th win?

Join James for the recap later.

Quick question: Is there an allocated job for whoever does the spoiler threads or do you and JR just do them as nobody else does?...

DC could have put in the other S into UNIONS for UNISONS

Here's how I remember it happening. James used to do all of them until about...early 2012 or so when his work schedule made it harder. I figured the time I would put them up is about when I wake up in the morning so it's easy enough. So I just sort of have kept on doing it.

4th Numbers: (5+4)x(100+7)=963; 75/3=25; 963+25=988

Well played over your seven games, Gemma and unlucky today. Hopefully you'll have done enough to make the finals. Well done to Peter though, loved his fist pump when he buzzed in on the conundrum.

SATIATE for an alt. to MATIEST in round 5.

Thanks Jack - I had a good run but was gutted to lose at this point - I was looking forward to playing (and losing to!) Jen in the next game!! But the better player won - Peter was a very nice chap and thrilled to win his teapot!

Fingers crossed for the finals but with only 6 wins and the fab standard we've seen so far, I won't hold my breath

Very well done on your 6 wins Gemma! Awesome game today, despite the fact the fist pump when he buzzed in may have been unsportsmanlike but I found it funny both very likeable characters and hopefully we'll see you in the finals!

GENTOOS as an equaller in R7.

Too much excitement at the end that it caused my screen to freeze up 15 seconds into the conundrum.
Still took me 3 minutes to solve it with all the ness/less/ful possibilities with those letters.
Anway well done for an entertaining set of shows.

Just checking on the archives, and it seems our new champion is a returner

It says he won 2 shows back in Series 24 in '92, unless there happens to be more than one Peter Etherington who's from Skelmersdale.

AILERON/PARBOIL in round 1, HELIPAD/RAPHIDE in round 2, TATAMIS in round 5 and DISUSED in round 12.

Evening - yes he is returner - he mentioned that he'd been on before

I thought he looked a bit too comfortable for a challenger. Makes sense. Well played Gemma, and bad luck on the loss today. Hope to see you in the finals.

Great run Gemma, you came through some close contests but Peter just had the edge on this one. Some great emotion on getting that conundrum after having those two smelly numbers hiccups, although the fist pump was a little bit much! A very enjoyable contest; I especially liked the itchy nose bit when you both had KISSED.

Really enjoyed this game. I think it helps the entertainment when both contestants show their emotions. Love a crucial conundrum too. Not seen one of those for a while.

Not Peter's first nail-biter but it has been 21 years. http://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_1272

Well done on your run Gemma. Hope you make the finals.

Just catching up on sky+, entertaining game and a great run Gemma. I think 7 games in 2days took its toll, I saw a couple of uncharacteristic mistakes ( missing an ING for example). Good game and Peter seems like a nice bloke... no harm in the little fist pump, it wasn't exactly in yer face, and it made me laugh.
With a bit of "luck" you could be back to have a go at Dylan in November, Gemma. GL !
