Worth a watch just to see Susie make her contestant debut!

Yup, although it wasn't the first time she had picked letters, as she did pick a round in the 25th Birthday special between Chris Wills and Conor Travers in 2007.

Rachel outscored everybody on every round she played, which wasn't entirely surprising tbf.

Including Susie, although I think a lot of her stuff comes from Damian anyway when she's in DC.

Yeah, although there was only one letters round and I guess she was a little unlucky in that she went for something that wasn't in (but might have been, I guess, there are references online).

You're right - there wasn't much to go on. I'd back Rachel in a match between them but those rounds don't prove all that much really.

NEOWORDS was a good spot by Susie even though it wasn't in.

There are loads of words like that, which are so new to the language that they're not in the dictionary yet. There should be a word for that but I can't think what it would be.

I think it was poor judgement coming from the weight of expectation!

Edit - Yes, very good Graeme. But from my Google searching, it seems that it's less of a word and more of a name of a book someone wrote. I can't find any evidence of anyone using it as a word (other than the one person who wrote a book and hyphenated it anyway).

Edit 2 - If someone offered the word against me at COLIN or something, I might say "Unlucky, good guess", but really I'd be thinking that it never stood a chance. It doesn't become a good guess because it came from Susie and it sounds sort of clever!
