Spoilers for Friday May 24th 2013 (Series 68 Prelim 47)

[Jordan F]

We end this week with Joe McGonigle in what could be his penultimate game of the prelim run. Can he get a 7th win? He probably has some work to do to be able to improve on his number four seed, but we'll see. And we also end the week with a new guest in Dictionary Corner, comedienne and the queen of Pussie Rot herself, Jo Brand.

Join...Thomas for the recap later? I think? I never know 100% what's going on with recent Fridays.

[Andy Platt]

Someone please give me C2's declaration in R2 (the round was OEFTZGMAS)

Edit - Alternative in R3; (75-3+1) x 5 + 100 - 1

They were STEAM and FEAST (not sure which way round) .

(Did the numbers the same way as you.)

[Tony Atkins]

NERVOUS in R4

[Andy Platt]

Cheers Tony!

LOUVRES alternative in round 4, AILERON round 5.

[Jordan F]

Also, I didn't realize he'd be playing today, but Greg is an apterite.

[Jojo Apollo]

Couldn't you have had HOARSENED in round 1?

[Andy Platt]

Couldn't you have had HOARSENED in round 1?

In ODE2 yes but not ODE3.

PRESIDED in round 7, PARISONS and ARSONIST in round 8

Edit: Haha, I did the exact same as Greg in round 10. Hope that's not decisive.

[Jojo Apollo]

Ah cheers Andy.

[Andy Platt]

Shit, I forgot to get the conundrum scramble for the recap, can anyone save me the pain of going through the whole game again on +1?

[Tony Atkins]

OAFVIRTUE

[Tony Atkins]

MIXTURE as beater in R13

[Andy Platt]

This guy!!!

[Andy Platt]

Just noticed that Joe missed AILERON in round 5 but played it later in round 11.

Wonder if DC did actually mention it at the time (but it got cut for one of Jo's stupid words) and Joe sponged it.

[Philip Jarvis]

Beaters:

Rd 2 - OMEGAS
Rd 8 - SPRAINTS
Rd 13 - MURIATE

[Jack Worsley]

ARSONIST for another beater in round 8, although I stupidly went for PARSONIST^

[szodiac]

ARSONIST for another beater in round 8, although I stupidly went for PARSONIST^

PARSONIST^ what you get when you cross an ARSONIST with a PARSON

Coincidently the answer to OAFVIRTUE was similar to today's Sprint final of DCDL, one of the conundrums was VADERESOIF = DEFAVORISE .

@ Andy to confirm round 2 Joe declared FEAST and Greg declared STEAM.

Well done Joe, hard luck Greg - don't know where Joe got that final surge to get past Greg
