Re: Spoilers for Wednesday October 9th 2013 (S69 P66)
Interesting to compare Abdi's body language after his conundrum buzz today compared to yesterday :roll: Indeed, and it took him 2 to 2.5 seconds this time, rather than 0.5 to 1. I'd been waiting to see this game before passing final judgement on whether or not he was aware of his actions in the pre...

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday October 8th 2013 (S69 P65)
Hi guys, thanks for all your comments; I hope you enjoyed the episode. Despite it being my losing one, it was the game I enjoyed the most. While Abdi may have attempts a few fudges ad Hansfords, ultimately he won because he had that little extra bit of quality over me throughout most of the game. I...

They did actually spot CAMPIEST in the studio, but that bit has been edited out. I imagine it's because Susie said "you can be the CAMPEST or the CAMPIEST, if you like" and Nick replied "I wouldn't like to be any one of those, thank you very much". Can't believe I missed those tw...
