Enjoy the show.

Round 1: U O R L P E T Y S

OT: PROSTYLE (8)

I think one of the contestants offered POULTRY.

Round 2: I E L B Z O G N I

OT: OBELIZING (18)

Nice niner, but one of the contestants or DC offered IGNOBLE.

Round 3: O U N W T N O E X

OT: NEWTON (6)

One of the contestants or DC offered NONET.

Round 4: 25, 9, 1, 7, 8, 10. Target: 823.

OT: 823. (((10x9)-1)x7)+(25x8) (10)

Round 5: A B N E I T B T I

OT: BATTEN (6) BITTEN (6) TIBIAE (6)

Round 6: E O T B N U Q K J

OT: JUNKET (6)

Round 7: I V G E O P G R O

OT: GOOPIER (7)

Round 8: 75, 50, 9, 10, 1, 8. Target: 580.

OT: 580. (50+8)x10 (10)
Score: 46–40 (max 71)

Round 9: O R P T E U E C S

C2 buzzes on ? seconds to say ????????? which is incorrect.
C1 buzzes on ? seconds to say PROSECUTE which is correct.
Score: 56–40 (max 81)

I think what happened on the conundrum round (but not confidently enough to add it to the wiki) is that Len buzzed after 22.5 seconds and offered PROSECUTES, which then prompted Harry to buzz in immediately afterwards with the correct answer.

All words not in the COD7 have been excluded from this recap.
