She was really good in the letters round I thought. Bizarre that her letters seem to be so much better than her numbers (given she is a maths tutor).

Handbaker for the conundrum - classic!!!

Was it just me, or was that the easiest conundrum ever? I'm crap at conundrums, but even I got that almost right away.

p.s. this was my favourite part of the show, at the start of round 12:

R8: OLEANDER for 8

r13: SUBACUTE for 8

That was an amazing game. Could hardly've been better. I wasn't expecting for you to go for six small at the end, but it paid off. The 806 was very, very good. Is that optimal? I think Jeff might not have been kidding when he said it was impossible; perhaps Damian put the numbers in and told him. Y...

Go Graeme!

I've just realised that watching Mark go out yesterday was like watching Omar get a bullet in the head in The Wire. Thanks for spoiling The Wire for me. He forgot to mention that at the end they come across the statue of liberty and realise they are still on planet earth. Also the ship hits an iceb...

I could tell Mark wasn't himself and that something was definitely amiss. The lack of sleep totally makes sense. This wasn't the same guy I'd seen in earlier shows.

I'm SOOOOO looking forward to this.

Way to go tempting fate!

PASTORED was another 8 they could have had in round 8 (carl had ADOPTERS and DC had READOPTS).

I was a bit disappointed that I didn't give him a closer game, especially watching it back and seeing obvious words I'd missed such as dosage and causes (and shogunate!) But for me it was fantastic to be part of the finals, particularly Jeff's last shows, and I met some lovely people so a great exp...

Can someone upload some of these clips. I'm really wanting to join in with the whole group-rage thing going on, but find myself unable to get worked up without having seen the footage myself.

If they did, they kept pretty quiet about it. I don't think anyone got it.

Just out of interest did anyone in the audience get the nine in the final letters round?

SHOGUNATE for 9 in the final letters round was missed.

Round 6, PANSIVOLN, they missed SAPONIN for 7.

Yes I got marinade. I tend to get the food-related ones!
