So, the late afternoon session, and if things go my way, I had a faint chance of making the final, as luckily there were only 3 people on 4/4 wins, so only 1 person could have 6/6 wins.
So, can I step up to the plate

David clearly had the answer, and I knew what he was trying to say, but unfortunately he was stuttering so much, that I had to time him out unfortunately, and that also knocks out the MAX game for Zarte, but at least the win is now secure.
Round 9: T R E N D O I D U
C1 buzzes on 2 seconds to say ERUDITION which is incorrect.
C2 does not buzz.
The answer was OUTRIDDEN.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

And a 9 I've never even heard of, just proves it's not my day today, and as a nice little bonus, Zarte has qualified as the #2 seed for the final, where he'll play Jack Hurst.
