Posted: Wed Sep 01, 2010 5:48 pm
Welcome to the Robinson Recap. The new month has begun and with 10 Robinson Recaps planned for this month, this should be a fantastic month for recapping. Enjoy. 
Countdown recap for Wednesday 1 September 2010.
C1: Champion Peter Godwin (6 wins, 556 points.) From Southampton, Hampshire. He likes travelling around the world, particularly Canada, Nepal and China. In Shanghai, the hotel he stayed in was directly underneath the football stadium, where he and his wife were treated like royalty when making a tour of the stadium.
C2: Challenger Mick Egan. From Netherfield, Nottinghamshire. He works as a cab driver. His hobbies are playing pool, snooker and poker. His nickname is "The Fridge", presumably because of his size. Hence, Jeff suggests his nickname could be "Icebox".
DC: Susie Dent and Gloria Hunniford.
RR: Rachel Riley.
OT: Other words or solutions.

Round 1: T N D E I O P G M
C1: PIMENTO (7)
C2: POINT (5)
DC: PIGMENT (7) POINTED (7)
OT: DEMOTING (8) PIEDMONT (8)
Score: 7–0 (max 8)
Oh dear. A bad start for Mick as he points out POINT, but doesn't point out POINTED. Amazingly both 8's are missed in the studio.
Round 2: R M S R U E I P O
C1: SUPERIOR (8)
C2: PRIMES (6)
DC: PROMISER (8) PRIMROSE (8)
OT: PRIMEURS (8) PROSUMER (8)
Score: 15–0 (max 16)
Peter picks out the SUPERIOR 8 in this 1.
A PROSUMER is an amateur user of electronic equipment that is of a standard suitable for professional use.
Round 3: B C E E O F N E G
C1: BEGONE (6)
C2: FENCE (5)
DC: CONGEE (6)
Score: 21–0 (max 22)
A tricky selection here, but both 6's are found in the studio.
Round 4: S M S A I T E H P
C1: MISSHAPE (8)
C2: SHAPES (6)
DC: SHIPMATES (18)
OT: STEAMSHIP (18)
Score: 29–0 (max 40)
Peter's risky 8 proves to be a risk well taken, but it's full steam ahead in DC as they pick one of the 2 available 9's
Round 5: 100, 10, 4, 6, 2, 8. Target: 575.
C1: 574. ((100 - 10) x 6) + (8 x 4) + 2 (7)
C2: 576. ((8 - 2) x 100) - (4 x 6) (7)
RR: 575. ((100 - 4) x 6) - ((8 + 2) / 10) (10)
Score: 36–7 (max 50)
Mick gets off the mark at last, but Rachel finds the odd target with the even bunch.
Gloria tells of the time when she was mistaken for Judith Chalmers, when then leads to Jeff "admitting" to being mistaken for Leonardo DiCaprio.
Teatime teaser: MANSLIFE -> INFLAMES
Round 6: N W L D U I E T L
C1: WILTED (6)
C2: DILUTE (6)
DC: UNTILLED (8) DILUENT (7)
Score: 42–13 (max 58)
Peter plays safe with 6, but he did wonder about the illegal unwilled and the darrenic 8, UNTILLED.
Round 7: S F M A U O D T A
C1: FAMOUS (6)
C2: FOAMS (5)
DC: SFUMATO (7)
Score: 48–13 (max 65)
Peter pulls away further, but DC get themselves a Gazette of Garner with the darrenic 7.
Round 8: S N E A X R O S K
C1: SNAKES (6)
C2: REASONS (7)
OT: KRANSES (7) SENORAS (7) SOAKERS (7)
Score: 48–20 (max 72)
Mick manages to win a round with that 7.
Round 9: C T N A I O R L A
C1: RATIONAL (8)
C2: RATIONAL (8)
DC: CANTORIAL (18)
Score: 56–28 (max 90)
Brilliant 8's from the contestants, but DC trump them again with the darrenic 9.
Susie's Origis Of Words talks of the origin of The Chequers pub in Oxford.
Round 10: 100, 7, 8, 1, 5, 6. Target: 465.
C1: 465. ((100 - 8) x 5) + 6 - 1 (10)
C2: 465. (100 - 7) x 5 (10)
Score: 66–38 (max 100)
Both players get the max, even though Peter goes a slightly odd way round.
Teatime teaser: NICEMUSH -> MUNCHIES
Round 11: C T Z D I E A N I
C1: INDICATE (8)
C2: DETAIN (6)
OT: ACTINIDE (8) CTENIDIA (8)
Score: 74–38 (max 108)
Peter INDICATEs that he's just one round away from victory with that 8.
An ACTINIDE is any member of the ACTINIDE SERIES, the series of radioactive elements that starts with actinium and ends with lawrencium.
CTENIDIA (plural of CTENIDIUM) are any of various comblike or featherlike structures, as the row of stiff bristles on the legs of a psocid.
Round 12: T S B L O I A D O
C1: TABLOIDS (8)
C2: BLOATS (6)
DC: DIABOLOS (8)
Score: 82–38 (max 116)
Peter wraps up the win with that papery 8.
Round 13: R E I P T S A R E
C1: reparties
C2: traipser
DC: RESPIRATE (18)
Score: 82–38 (max 134)
A double negative here as Mick's dodgy 8 is just that and Peter's dodgy 9 is misspelt, leaving DC to take the glory again with the 3rd 9 of the day.
Round 14: 100, 9, 4, 6, 7, 6. Target: 224.
C1: 224. ((9 - 7) x 100) + (4 x 6) (10)
C2: 223.
Score: 92–38 (max 144)
A perfect solve by Peter puts him in range of getting his 2nd consecutive century.
Round 15: P R E S S E D I T
C1 buzzes on 26.25 seconds to say PERSISTED which is correct.
Final Score: 102–38 (max 154)
A very late solve there by Peter gives him the century and puts him on 7 wins. Pretty impressive century considering he missed all 3 9's available. 
Can he win tomorrow and complete the first back-to-back octochamps since Mubeen & Laddiman in Series 59
Join me tomorrow to find out.
Till then, bye bye.
