Well, we're closing in on the Series 61 final bash.
Jennifer is putting in a strong claim for that last finals spot. Another 4 wins will see her in the finals along with the 7 octochamps.
Can she do it
Based on her previous 2 performances, she seems a good Bett to me.

And to think I scrapped "Charlie Khoo-ly played on, but Jennifer Bettered him" . . .
I hope she does make the finals though, as I am going and it would be nice to meet her.
Having said that , Jacqueline seems nice aswell.

Shhh, she's a member here! Anyway, she has a fiancé, and I'm sure Kirk would have mentioned if it was him!
Does "Bett" sound the same as "beat" (or beaten) with an Irish accent then?

'STRICTLY COME DRINKING'...he obviously didn't see the Oz Clarke and James May programme then.
And, years ago there was a programme on Channel 4, I think, where Jools Holland took Rowland Rivron out with the sole intention of getting him pissed. Brilliant!

Another evil conundrum there.
I Wonder who got it on this forum?
Well done Jennifer, for winning a close one.

Yup it was STRANGERU (wrong order) cos STRANGER and GRUNTERS were the declarations.
Another smashing victory Jennifer, congrats

Can't remember the round but one of the contestants got EASTERN
I do remember Susie saying that there wasn't an 8.

I missed the beginning so maybe I'm wrong if it was in rounds 1-4.
btw Kudos on the conundrum scramble Damo. They're getting awesomer and awesomer

Yeah I got TERRANES as a beater too. The spare letter was a Q and it was in round 3.
That's a first hearing someone shout out a wrong answer from the audience. POTGARDEN I believe?

IIRC the answer was DISHWATER once and some old dear could be heard muttering WITHDRAWS

It was Pentdragon (according to the subtitles), although to me it sounded like pentagon.

In the STRANGER round, if Jennifer hadda picked a vowel, which was O, SURROGATE woulda been there.

The incorrect gues was PENTRAGON, as if Jonathan Ross was reporting on 9/11
If I suddenly have a squirming baby on my lap it probably means that I should start paying it some attention and stop wasting my time messing around on a Countdown forum
