OT: VOGUEING (8)
Score: 29–37 (max 54)

DC: POMMELS (7) PUMMELS (7)
OT: PUMMELOS (8)
Score: 29–43 (max 62)

RR: 598. ((75 + 10) x 7) + 4 - 1 (10)
Score: 29–43 (max 79)

C1: DALLIES (7)
C2: DALLIES (7)
DC: LADDIES (7)
OT: AEDILES (7) ALLSEED (7) DALLIED (7) DIALLED (7) SALLIED (7)
Score: 36–50 (max 86)
He has now, as both players find one of the many available 7's.

ALLSEED is any of various many-seeded plants, as the goosefoot, Chenopodium polyspermum, and the knotgrass, Polygonum aviculare.
Round 12: S T I A B S I T E
C1: BATTIES (7)
C2: BASTES (6)
OT: ASITIES (7) BATISTE (7)
Score: 43–50 (max 93)
Nick might not have realised that BATTIES was a slang word for bottoms, but he probably won't care, as he shrinks Michelle's lead by half.
BATISTE is a fine, often sheer fabric, constructed in either a plain or figured weave and made of any of various natural or synthetic fibres.
Round 13: A O O I P F R P J
C1: PROP (4)
C2: apropo
DC: POOJA (5)
OT: APPRO (5) PROOF (5)
Score: 47–50 (max 98)
An awful set of letters provides a few 5's, whereas Michelle is very unlucky with her 6, as it's only in the dictionary in its plural form, which requires an S.
Round 14: 75, 25, 9, 5, 8, 4. Target: 613.
C1: 613. (75 x 8) + 9 + 4 (10)
C2: 613. (75 x 8) + 9 + 4 (10)
Score: 57–60 (max 108)
An easy numbers means that this low-scoring game will be decided by a crucial conundrum.
Round 15: R E D U C E D P I
C1 buzzes on 5.5 seconds to say EPICURED which is incorrect.
C2 does not buzz.
The answer was PEDICURED.
Final Score: 57–60 (max 118)
Oh, the agony for Nick as he seems certain with his declaration, but unfortunately for him, it only has 8 letters in it. But, even with nearly being the answer, Michelle is still none the wiser, as one of the many audience members is picked out to share the answer.
So, Michelle becomes the first female winner on the show since Denise Smith, nearly 3 months ago Will she still be as happy tomorrow
Join me tomorrow in Robinson Recap 3: Recap With A Vengeance.
Till then, bye bye.
