You just make sure that your recap on the 24th is a blockbuster. ;) Ah, you misunderstand - that was me backing out altogether... Oh dear. Well, I'll continue interimming until a new permanent person can replace you then. Hopefully, it won't take too long. Maybe Ryan would like the job. He's done p...

No, he meant his toned body.

Haha. Thought Jack was joking but the way Ryan reacted maybe you youngsters haven't heard of 'fingering'. It was in relation to referring to the challenger's entourage as looking like a police line up - fingering people in terms of investigative policework type thing is pointing the finger at them,...

I actually have no idea it sounded so wrong! Possibly fingerprint him or something but that doesn't make sense.

Ryan Vickers (Series 61) had a phone audition. He was in Canada at the time though I think.

Wow. Did not expect that comeback at all. Lee took it well, if that had happened to me I would have been furious, it's bad enough when you lose on apterous from what looks like a winning position, but on the show, damn. Great contestant, hope he is in the finals.

Hmm the contestants keep matching each other, very fishy. VULVA round 7.

Dear Matt, I just installed Mozilla Firefox on my laptop and now use that as my default browser.

Nonsense, we can have a bit of craic without cheating, right?

I like Lee a lot. He has a nice voice and face and I enjoyed his banter with Rachel today. He's spotted some cool words too like PANCETTA whichever game that was. <3 Argh, ffs.

Following from that conundrum anagram today, I wonder if the rest of the conundrum anagrams this week are going to be people on this forum/past contestants?

What was the scramble?

Well, this is my attempt at a recap as Oliver was away filming the finals stage of series 62 and Dinos is otherwise engaged. C1: Champion Nicki Sellars (3 wins, 256 points.) C2: Challenger Annette Sutton. Annette is from Litlington, Cambridgeshire and is nicknamed "fatty" by her friends. S...

Unlucky Nikki, just ran out of a bit of steam there and it was the 5th of the day. I really liked Lee though and he was so confident in his first show with good spots too. Good run of contestants and I lked JP in DC.

This being my thread, I get to make the rules, and they're in. But the red ones are disgusting.

The blue ones (Cool Original or something I think) are a pathetic excuse for a snack. Cheesy all the way.
