I simply can't see Bradley losing this, but good luck to both, and here's to a close and exciting contest.

Nick talks such shit.

POSTBAG as a beater in round 1 I think.

DERISORY (8)

[Jojo Apollo]

Good contest, well played chaps.

[Tony Atkins]

Must have been easy numbers Tuesday! Too many alternative ways to mention.

Both players did well - I didn't even come second today.

[Callum Todd]

Ah, this was the episode where Nick and Richard attempted to destroy everything Zarte stands for. Good game though. Impressive stuff from Bradley especially, he looks capable of challenging Dylan tomorrow.

[Philip Wilson]

Not sure about this, but I think I may actually have a word round beater - in the badges round. Starts with bags---

-ied? Yeah, it's valid. Nice spot.

[Andy McGurn]

Not on Lexplorer.

[James Robinson]

I spotted MONOPEDS in round 13. Is it valid?

I saw it in the audience too, but was sure it was UNIPEDS, as opposed to monopeds.

SCLERITE/TIERCELS in round 10.

Anyone also notice the slight difference in position of the clock hand at the end there

[Matt Morrison]

Ah, this was the episode where Nick and Richard attempted to destroy everything Zarte stands for.

I fast-forwarded through most of it. Anti-disabled or anti-gay?

Neither. Although at the rate they were going I wouldn't have been surprised to see some of that towards the end.

More "Bloody non-meat eaters" and then "bloody smokers" and I'm pretty sure there was something else in there somewhere.

Ok, it's an outrage. Glad I didn't see that for myself now.

I've been fast-forwarding the episodes so far this week, has Richard done his Ali G yet?

[Adam Gillard]

Well done Bradley, very strong performance there! Alex, you also played well, which made it a high-scoring contest! Well done on making it to the series finals and for portraying yourself at the end there as an accountant who likes to partaaaay. I'm looking forward to watching your semi-final Bradley, should be quality.
