There aren't many I dislike in the current crop tbh, and I'm pretty intolerant, so I think you must just be more intolerant.

Same thought process I went through.

Berkan seemed somewhat surprised when Rachel said that 77*12=924. Makes you wonder if he had perhaps miscalculated It as something like 914 and added on the 10 after, but just blagged that that was his final step when Rachel said 924. The way he said it certainly didn't make it sound like that was ...

I very rarely watch the show now, unless someone I know is on. I like to watch with someone else, but the Apterous viewing room often has people who want to shout stuff out instantly, and I prefer to muse for 30s, and there's no-one at home to watch with.

Genuine question - does cheating not have to benefit you? For instance, Ben saying he's not given players a 4th consecutive vowel... That implies he's hosting... which means it gives him no benefit.
