Following on from yesterday's show, you might want to go through these again.

Just shows how addictive these recaps are, I'd already sorted the wiki problems, but forgot to mention it on here :!: :oops:

I'll just blame the fact that I had just come back from my holidays at the time. :)

C2's declaration in round 10 should be RANCHES, not RACNHES.
