OT: ALIENOR (7) LORINER (7) OPALINE (7) PROLINE (7)

Round 7: N D Q V E O E W G

C1: WOVEN (5)
C2: WEDGE (5)
DC: WaGON GOWNED (6)
Score: 42–40 (max 52)

DC get the darren despite seeing an A. If there was an A then the darren would be AVENGED. (Well, I think so. I replaced the Q with an A but I doubt you could get anything else with the Q.)

Round 8: 25, 9, 2, 3, 1, 7. Target: 776.

C1: 778. 3*7=21 21+9=30 30+1=31 31*25=775 775+2=777, which is closer than what he declared. Unlucky.
C2: -
CV: 776. (((((9+3)*2)+7)*25)+1) (10)
Score: 42–40 (max 62)

Tim should have declared 775 or 777 (although he would only have won after this round if he got it exactly), but now octochampdom is so close yet so far. Can Elizabeth prevent him from being the first octochamp of the series…?

Round 9: D E I I M N N O S

C1 buzzes on 11 seconds to say DIMENSION which is correct.
Score: 52–40 (max 72)

No! Tim gets his 8th win with 533 points (although a draw against Mary Hawes helped him there) and becomes Series 17’s 1st octochamp! :)

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER Although Tim only gets to the semi-finals of this series, losing to one of tomorrow's (well, Monday's) new contestants, but he goes on to win the fifth Champion of Champions!
