Spoilers for Wednesday 7th June 2023 (Series 87, Heat 98)

Post by Ronan M Higginson »

Good to see a battle between 2 players who originally lost to series champions on crucials. Unlucky Adam, but still got the finals to go. Can Graham stop a rematch between me and Jonathan happening?

RAMSHAG in the AROMAS round. I didn't get it, but I'll never miss it again.
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.

Gutted for Adam. Wonder what stopped him going for legations ? Must have come across it on apterous many times.

Probably one of those is it or isn't it a mass noun things, especially with GELATIONS also being there and invalid

I have 3 excuses:

1) I saw it late (28s)
2) Thought it might be a mass noun
3) Would rather be 7 up than 1 behind. Thought I'd probably be able to steal a decisive lead in the remaining rounds

Won't be chickening it again though!

Absolutely great run though Adam, as someone that's played against you a bunch that run was worth watching.

Watching at home, I saw LEGATIONS and GELATIONS and forgot which one was valid!

Great game! Very unlucky there Adam.

ROAMISH/MARGOSA also in R4
PARENTELE in R13

R14 alt.: 75*50/(5+1) = 625

Unlucky Adam, that could have gone either way. Glad you'll be back for the finals.

Good to see Graham get the teapot though, and Colin playing up the whole thing about a certain pasta dish and history repeating itself in multiple ways. It seems appropriate to mention that on this occasion Graham got the conundrum before I did.

Bad luck Adam, but congrats at the same time for making the finals, and I think you will be favourite against whoever you face out of Peter and Greg in the QFs (assuming you will play one of those two)
