C1: ESSAYS (6)
C2: SAVED (5)
DC: ADVISES (7)
OT: DASSIES (7)

Tom makes all the S's count in this one, as he takes the early advantage.
A DASSIE (otherwise known as a HYRAX) is any of several species of small mammals of the order Hyracoidea, of Africa and the Mediterranean region, having short legs, ears, and tail, and hooflike nails on the toes.

C2: UPON (4)

C1: 643. ((100 + 5) x (4 + 2)) + 9 + 4 (10)
C2: 645.
Score: 30–10 (max 36)
A good solve by Tom sees his lead extend to a score.

Teatime teaser: INEPTACT -> PITTANCE
Round 6: R J P I E A R K W
C1: PARKIER (7)
C2: parker
OT: PAWKIER (7)
Score: 37–10 (max 43)

PAWKIER derives from PAWKY, meaning cunning or sly.

C1: MURDERS (7)
C2: MURDERS (7)
DC: REEDS (5) RESUMED (7) RUDERIES (8)

C2: AIRLESS (7)
DC: SNARLS (6) RAINLESS (8) ARSENALS (8)

RR: 980. (7)
OT: 980. (50 - 1) x ((9 x 2) + 5 - 3) (7)
Score: 65–30 (max 73)
Both contestants get 3 away, Rachel gets 1 away, and that's the best that can be done.
Teatime teaser: HUGEPOLL -> PLUGHOLE
Round 11: T R G O E U X T E
C1: EXTORT (6)
C2: GUTTER (6)
DC: TEXTURE (7)
OT: URTEXTE (7)

C1: COASTED (7)
C2: COATED (6)
DC: COATS (5)
OT: DOTAGES (7)

C1: MARMOT (6)
C2: MATTER (6)
DC: TROUT (5) MUTATE (6)
OT: TAUTOMER (8)
Score: 84–42 (max 95)
The experts are completely beaten this time as 6 is the best in the studio, leaving the darrenic 8 undiscovered.
A TAUTOMER is a compound that exhibits tautomerism, the ability of certain organic compounds to react in isomeric structures that differ from each other in the position of a hydrogen atom and a double bond.
Round 14: 50, 4, 9, 4, 7, 1. Target: 452.
C1: 452. (50 x 9) + 7 - 4 - 1 (10)
C2: 452. (50 x 9) + ((7 + 1) / 4) (10)
Score: 94–52 (max 105)
A simple numbers to end with today, and for the 6th game running, Tom is on a score in the 90's, as we head to the coundrum. However, his conversion rate from 90's to 100's stands at 20%. Will it go up today
Round 15: K I S S S I R E N
C1 buzzes on 3.5 seconds to say RISKINESS which is correct.
Final Score: 104–52 (max 115)
The answer is yes, and Tom gets his 2nd century, dropping only 11 points on the way too. Just 2 more wins to reach octochampdom. Can he do it Join Mike tomorrow to see if Tom can make it a magnificent 7.
Because of more horse racing next week, the next Robinson Recap won't be till August 25th, when there'll definitely be 2 people that we haven't yet seen in the chairs.
So, till then, bye bye.
