I have no recollection whatever of this round. I can only think I found I’d made a mistake at the last second. There must be a thousand ways of getting closer than this.

Round 9: REVWOOPER

C1 buzzes on 2 seconds to say OVERPOWER which is correct.
Score: 62–13 (max 74)

Rose was a quiet lady, unsure how to react to Richard’s stereotype of an Irish lifestyle centred on alcohol, and nerves seemed to get to her. Not a comfortable show.
