Re: Spoilers for 18th March 2019

I was surprised to see that Maggie only got 794 points actually. Especially considering Dinos got 918 and I didn't think he was actually that much better. I suppose it was the lack of 9s and also greater inconsistency on the numbers. I think that the 1st score played a part, though she was up again...

I've said this a few times this week about players like Adam and Jimmy, but Kerry seems like the consistent type to win a few more. Does not strike me as octochamp material as it stands, but 109 is a very nice score to debut on nevertheless, and it was a good game to watch!
