So, the final shows of November are nearly with us, and with just a dozen preliminaries left, the chances of making the finals are running out fast..........

I think most people "in the know" might have had some money on Edward Byrne taking one of those places, but after being pipped on Friday, he's now out of the running, so we have Andrew Avery in the champions' chair. Is he the one to possibly take a spot

We do have Antoinette Ryan coming in on Wednesday as well, as the last member from Apterous to try out this series (I think......?), maybe she will provide us some late magic..........

Michael Whitehall finishes off in DC today and tomorrow, before we have head Strictly Come Dancing judge, Len Goodman into the chair on Wednesday.

Join Andy for the recap later.

FUGATO as an equaler to TAUTOG.

Alt 1st numbers (75+9)x(9-2)-5

CARBENE as one of the alts in R5.

I was hoping for an A to come out as the last letter in round 13, but was stupidly disappointed when it was an E....
Did manage 869 as an alt to 871 to cheer myself up in the next round though.

ALEVINS in round 10.

I did stupidly get 871 a silly way having not spotted the simple way (9 x 75) + (4 x 50) - (100 / 25).

NOTE: Paul Worsley has now qualified for the finals, so just one spot left now.
