Still have to put up with it for another year though. Personally I hope with more episodes needed it means we might get some more specials!
Definitely not Jamie McNeill or Schrodinger's Cat....

That is a big assumption.

Hopefully it will happen, and hopefully it will realise my dream of nine octochamps in a series.

Is your dream to have nine octochamps in a series, or is it to cackle with schadenfreude as an octochamp with a subpar average is sent home?
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

A bit of both. I thought it would happen after we got eight at basically the first opportunity (series 47) as well as some seven-time winners, and we haven't had that many since.
