RW asked Eileen for her method because he wanted to hear her Dorset accent.

Round 9: A B D E O O R R V

C1 buzzes on 8 seconds to say OVERBOARD which is correct.
Score: 69–5 (max 72)

If Evan had got VADOSE in the second round, Eileen wouldn’t have scored at all…
A no-maxer, just like Christine Buffrey of Series 64.

James will (or ‘has’) take(n) over tomorrow, with this.

So… bye! :cry: :cry: :cry:
