Welcome to the delayed Robinson Recap. If this carries on, I'll be coming down to Mike's level in a snap. 
Still, enjoy.
Countdown recap for Wednesday 26 January 2011.
C1: Champion Jamie Humphries (1 win, 91 points.) From Lisburn, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. As he demonstrated yesterday, he likes to do a spot a balloon modelling, and manages to do flower bracelet, leading to Jeff "making" a bouquet of flowers, which "wilt" almost immediately.
C2: Challenger Steven Thorpe. From Liverpool, but originally from Wigan, hence he has a season ticket at Wigan Athletic. He says he never lets his fiancée wash up, because she never puts anything back in the right place. He plans to get married on May 28, after getting engaged in Cambodia. Interestingly, he is planning to marry his fiancée in...... Telford.
DC: Susie Dent and Andrew Castle.
RR: Rachel Riley, displaying a dog on her top, accompanied by some lovely puppies as well.

Round 1: W P G E O E L S O
C1: LOOSE (5)
C2: SLEEP (5)
DC: GOSPEL (6) ELOPES (6)
OT: POGOES (6)
Score: 5–5 (max 6)
5's for the contestants, although Jamie was considering something more. What it was though, we'll never know.
Round 2: R A I C D S E M S
C1: SCREAMS (7)
C2: misdeclared 7
DC: MISREADS (8) SIDECARS (8)
OT: SIDEARMS (8)
Score: 12–5 (max 14)
Oh dear, Steven admits to using the A twice, so Jamie SCREAMS into the lead here.
Round 3: R V I E E Y N A U
C1: RAVINE (6)
C2: nervy (declared as 6)
OT: AVENUE (6) ENVIER (6) VAINER (6) VENERY (6) VINERY (6)
Score: 18–5 (max 20)
Ironically, Steve's nerves seem to be hampering him at the moment, as Jamie pulls further ahead.
Round 4: Q N R O O J M E S
C1: mooners
C2: MORONS (6)
OT: MOROSE (6) SERMON (6) SOONER (6)
Score: 18–11 (max 26)
Still no mooners in the dictionary. Well, that's one bit of good news for Steven today.
Round 5: 50, 10, 4, 8, 2, 3. Target: 255.
C1: 254.
C2: 255. ((2 + 3) x 50) + (10 / (8 / 4)) (10)
Score: 18–21 (max 36)
And amazingly, he now takes the lead as Jamie blobs on a seemingly simple numbers game.
Andrew talks about his brief time on Strictly Come Dancing in 2008, and how he practised learning his steps..... NAKED
Teatime teaser: FUNLOOPS -> SPOONFUL
Round 6: D I O N S T D A H
C1: STAND (5)
C2: HANDS (5)
DC: SADDO (5)
OT: TOADISH (7)
Score: 23–26 (max 43)
Just 5's in the studio. Surprised that the semi-regular DHOTIS was also not seen, but the darrenic 7 was also missed.
Round 7: N T S Z E A I P X
C1: ZANIEST (7)
C2: PAINTS (6)
DC: PANTIES (7)
OT: SAPIENT (7)
Score: 30–26 (max 50)
A few 7's, but Jamie's 7 gives him the lead once more.
Round 8: N G R O E I V T E
C1: VETOING (7)
C2: RIVET (5)
DC: INTEGER (7)
OT: EVERTING (8)
Score: 37–26 (max 58)
And now Jamie's lead is back into double figures, as another darren is missed in the studio.
To EVERT is to turn outward or inside out.
Round 9: L M T O A E R C D
C1: TRACED (6)
C2: COATED (6)
DC: CAROMED (7)
OT: DEMOCRAT (8)
Score: 43–32 (max 66)
If missing the last darren was acceptable, then missing this one was very surprising, as was missing the legendary LEOTARD
Susie's Origins Of Words talks about some more origins from the cockpit, namely "well heeled" and "sparring".
Round 10: 75, 50, 25, 7, 10, 9. Target: 837.
C1: 840. (75 + 9) x 10 (7)
C2: 840. ((75 + 25) x 9) - 50 - 10 (7)
RR: 837. (75 + 25 - 7) x 9 (10)
Score: 50–39 (max 76)
After seeing Jamie go for the "inverted T", Steven goes for an "uninverted T", to which both get 3 away, while Rachel makes it seem like a piece of cake.
Teatime teaser: RANSTAGE -> TANAGERS
Round 11: L T P G A I A N D
C1: PLATING (7)
C2: PLANT (5)
DC: ADAPTING (8)
Score: 57–39 (max 84)
DC get the darren this time, and it looks like Jamie might be about to wrap this up thanks to that 7.
Round 12: F N H E U I F L A
C1: LINE (4)
C2: misdeclared 7
DC: FINALE (6)
OT: INFULAE (7)
Score: 61–39 (max 91)
Even with a 4, Jamie seems to having all the luck now, as Steven thinks he has a 7, then realises that he hasn't.
The INFULA (plural INFULAE) are one of the two embroidered lappets of the mitre of a bishop.
Round 13: D N S R O E A U L
C1: LOANERS (7)
C2: ordains
DC: UNLOADERS (18)
Score: 68–39 (max 109)
Jamie wraps it up with the 7, as DC find the unusual looking 9.
Round 14: 25, 3, 1, 5, 2, 9. Target: 156.
C1: 156. 3 x 2 x (25 + 1) (10)
C2: 156. ((9 - 3) x 25) + 5 + 1 (10)
Score: 78–49 (max 119)
Well, at least Steven's numbers still haven't deserted him.
Round 15: A B A L D P A T E
C2 buzzes on 4.25 seconds to say ADAPTABLE which is correct.
Final Score: 78–59 (max 129)
And his conundrum skills aren't too bad either, but that's probably of not too much consolation to him, as Jamie gets his 2nd win so far.
Join me in a few minutes time to see if he can get win #3.
See you soon, bye bye.
