Boy I thought Friday would never come. Thankfully it has and the weekend is within touching distance.
But before that let's see our new faces after Wendy Roe said goodbye to what has been her home for the past week or so.
You will not believe who we have in store for you today, it's none other than alcoholic, junkie and gambling man John Dalyp. Cheers all round. OK so he's not the real John Daly but boy is he wearing some wacky trousers. (He's from Low Moor, Bradford if anyone actually cares where challengers are from...didn't think so)
Our other dude is Damian Cook who doesn't share his name with someone famous so I can't say much on him then. Oh, he's from New Busford in Nottin...ahhhh I remember now, no places! Got ya
So these are our shiny happy faces and another one is Alistair Stewart. Perhaps not shiny. Or happy. And is that classed as a face nowadays?
PLAY
Enjoy the show.

C1: unmast
C2: SLANG (5)
DC: MANUALS (7) SULTANA (7)
OT: MANTUAS (7) MUSTANG (7)

Round 3: M V S P E A R I N
C1: SPEAR (5)
C2: SNIPER (6)
DC: VAMPIRES (8)
Score: 7–18 (max 22)
DC get their teeth stuck into this selection. I coudn't resist, as Damian shoots down John. Better than shooting up I suppose.
Round 4: T L D E O I S T E
C1: TITLED (6)
C2: TOILETS (7)
DC: TOILETED (8)
Score: 7–25 (max 30)
Damian is at it again and John is left with his 7 points still. Numbers game should fix him right.
Round 5: 50, 9, 7, 3, 2, 1. Target: 462.
C1: 462. 9*50+7+3+2 (10)
C2: 462. 9*50+7+3+2 (10)

C2: TROUNCE (7)
DC: TOUCHIER (8) NEUROTIC (8)

DC: PEDALO (6)
OT: DIPOLE (6) EIDOLA (6) GAOLED (6) LAPDOG (6) PLEIAD (6)
Score: 24–48 (max 54)
A risk by Damian and what a risk. He maxes the round and doubles John's score. John is slightly above par today.
Round 8: B R N O E R A T O
C1: BARONET (7)
C2: BARREN (6)
Score: 31–48 (max 61)
Bite me. BARONET from John shuts me up sister.
Round 9: F D T M O A E W S
C1: MOATED (6)
C2: FOAMED (6)
DC: MEADOWS (7)
Score: 37–54 (max 68)
A chance missed by John as he needs to somehow gain some ground on Damian. Numbers might sort him out...
Round 10: 75, 50, 2, 6, 8, 8. Target: 526.
C1: 516. Mistake in working.
C2: 536. 50*2*6-8*8 (5)
CV: 526. 50*2*6-75+(8/8) (10)
Score: 37–59 (max 78)
...not if he prats about like that. He'd worked it out wrong whilst Damian had actually sovled it after the time and (Carol's method). Still Damian, at least you're not called John Daly.
Teatime teaser: SIRTOOT -> RISOTTO

C1: JUNIOR (6)
C2: JUNIOR (6)
DC: HONOUR (6)
OT: JOURNO (6)
Score: 48–70 (max 90)
Bravo chaps. Good maxes but you need a 9 John to stand a chance of a comeback.
Round 13: T K G S E I O M N
C1: STOKING (7)
C2: MONIES (6)
DC: EGOTISM (7) MOISTEN (7) TOKENISM (8)
OT: MITOGENS (8)
Score: 55–70 (max 98)
The basica EMOTING=MITOGEN is useful but not it you don't know it or remember it.
Round 14: 100, 8, 4, 3, 6, 6. Target: 144.
C1: 144. 8*6+100-4 (10)
C2: 144. 8*6+100-4 (10)
Score: 65–80 (max 108)
What a gross numbers game. Well done Ryan, truly hilarious.
Round 15: L I G H T R U F F
C1 buzzes on 13 seconds to say FRIGHTFUL which is correct.
Score: 75–80 (max 118)
13 seconds to get a frightful conundrum. Something wicked this way comes.
Even with John Daly getting the conundrum he was not up to the pace today. He was handicapped from the start and always used to getting low scores I think he misunderstood the rules of Countdown. "NEW LEADER!!"
Welcome Mr New Champion - Damian. All hail Damian. How long will he last, find out tomorrow (today). This is tense.
