That result means that Steve Wood will be gracing the finals in a couple of weeks. Who will be the 8th
![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
Any one who becomes an octochamp within the next 15 days will be in the top 8. Will Jennifer be that 8th octochamp

I expect pureed kiwi fruit is available commercially, even if only in smoothies and fruit drinks.Marc Meakin wrote:What about kiwi fruitSue Sanders wrote:Hmmm. Chinese crispy seaweed is made from a type of lettuce.

I thought today's anecdote was a bit rubbish. Why go through all that history for one fact about a pub's name. Hmmm.

Well done. Thought you'd misspelled it at first. Good spot.Phil Makepeace wrote:Got there for R9.Phil Makepeace wrote:AEGROTATS?
Yeah same here, was hoping the A would appear. I think Jennifer was looking for it too. Hopefully Jennifer will make it to the quarters.Kirk Bevins wrote:Was screaming for a final A for PECULIARS in that last round. 3 nines meant I managed 151 points --- sexy letters today matched by an attractive champion.
Rather more obviously, kiwi fruit is sold in cans.Sue Sanders wrote:I expect pureed kiwi fruit is available commercially, even if only in smoothies and fruit drinks.Marc Meakin wrote:What about kiwi fruit
Yep - that was spotted in this house too.Phil Reynolds wrote:Did anyone else notice that Paul declared CROUTS in round 7 which Susie accepted even though it's not a word. Rachel put GROUTS up on the board so presumably both she and Susie misheard him, but watch it back on 4oD - it's not even indistinct - he quite clearly says "crouts".
Thought the max today was only 150, but who am I to argue with the Kirkulator? (For the record, I have the round-by-round maxes as 6,8,6,18,10,7,7,6,18,10,8,18,8,10,10.)Kirk Bevins wrote:Was screaming for a final A for PECULIARS in that last round. 3 nines meant I managed 151 points --- sexy letters today matched by an attractive champion.
I was hoping that an alternative spelling would be allowed once the other E appeared.Kirk Bevins wrote:Was screaming for a final A for PECULIARS in that last round.
Haha you're quite right, I had to turn the page between rounds 10 and 11 and I miscopied. I went from 96 points to 106 points. What a cheat I am. Missed the max in round 13 but when DC said "we have an 8" I was like "ah damn - EPICURES".Mike Brown wrote: Thought the max today was only 150, but who am I to argue with the Kirkulator?

We clearly noticed it in the studio as well - I think to completely avoid an accusation of racism for the word (even though the spelling was completely wrong) there may have been an accidental on purpose "mis-hearing".Phil Reynolds wrote:Did anyone else notice that Paul declared CROUTS in round 7 which Susie accepted even though it's not a word.

Surely if that was the case, there'd have been a retake and they'd have asked him to offer a completely different invalid word. Or maybe I'm wrong.Jennifer Bett wrote:We clearly noticed it in the studio as well - I think to completely avoid an accusation of racism for the word (even though the spelling was completely wrong) there may have been an accidental on purpose "mis-hearing".
Then again, I'm only speculating - maybe I'm wrong.
