Score: 79–69 (max 104)
Wow! Paddy's tactics pay off on the final numbers game as he only just manages to get 7 poins by being 5 away. This sets up a semi-crucial conundrum.
Round 15: D I G S U S I E D
C2 buzzes on 26 seconds to say DISGUISED which is correct.
Score: 79–79 (max 114)
An incredibly long time elapses and I think it was because they both thought it was too easy to "solve". Eventually Paddy goes for it not sounding convinced but is pleasantly surprised. Crucial conundrum coming up...
Round 16: C L O N E S I G N
C1 buzzes on 2 seconds to say ENCLOSING which is correct.
Final Score: 89-79 (max 114)
A close game that Denise manages to Nick. My advice would be to catch up with it on 4oD as this recap doesn't do it justice.

Ciao bellas.
