Spoilers For Friday May 20th 2011
With Tom Barnes retiring as octochamp we will have two new players today. If it is like previous such situations we should get someone who lives in or near Manchester (the standby contestant) and someone quite brainy taking part today. Find out soon!

Re: Spoilers For Thursday May 19th 2011
I assume Tom meant PLATTER, that Rachel showed on the board, and not plaiter, as that's not in. I think Tom is getting tired - a couple of easy spots missed - but he did solve a tricky numbers.

Spoilers For Thursday May 19th 2011
Can Tom Barnes make it to octochamp? His run that started by beating Cliff Barnes (no relation) is nearly over. His 726 points so far is already more than his mate Ned's total, but he needs the 8th win to get 3rd seed and a day off from taking part before recording his quarter final.

I think it is quite unusual to only see 1 of the big 4 letters in a show. Maybe they were

Of course Roger has had 13 days since recording last week's shows to get some practice in
and take lots of long walks to help clear his brain of any nerves. Don't forget he also has
the pressure of knowing that if he is still champ by Thursday he will have to play his best mate.

Roger's tactics of taking a big block of consonants first is paying off.
His hesitence on the numbers was caused by him not being used to

Other ways (25+10) * 7 + 1 or (25 * 7) + (8*10) - (10-1) etc
