I thought Rachel was a bit off saying the next contestant would be another sacrificial lamb. They were presumably there listening to that.

Should have chose to cut that bit out rather than Martin doing some magic for us!

FTR, I also maxed this game playing along, my alternatives being OUTCRIES, then ASPERITY and NEGRONI from the first 8 and 7 letters in their respective selections.

Ooh that would have been fun. Well done by the way. Back on track for the 1000+ as well as the max.

Let the Hurricane roll on!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Ubergeek question: Has any max game ever actually been confirmed on screen to have been a max game? I could see them doing this for some of the newer ones.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Kirk's max game in the 30th Birthday Championship was announced by Nick Hewer at the time but that bit didn't make the edit. I'm sure at least one of Conor's three max games in that competition was announced in the broadcast, but I don't remember which.

I'm pretty sure Rachel referred to Kirk's max but not on the actual episode.

(Edit 2 months later because I didn't want to say anything at the time)


Philip, the fact that all you could think to say was the fact that YOU got a max game watching at home shows just how arrogant and disrespectful you are. I got only the 13th in the show's history, under studio pressure and all. But it's hardly any surprise coming from you, is it?

Edit again: If you happen to come across this post, PLEASE delete/edit out that post. Please.
