Today brings us the battle of the Jons. To quote my idol "Anyone could win it... so erm...yeah"

[Paul Howe]

ANAPAEST in rd 2

Nice

[Kai Laddiman]

Jeff said THESAURIS.

[Kai Laddiman]

ANAPAEST in rd 2

Yeeaahh, I got that, I was just waiting for someone else to post it.

[Paul Howe]

Kai told me he also got HORNEROS in rd 7

[Kai Laddiman]

Kai told me he also got HORNEROS in rd 7

Good, my e-mail is working then.

[Kai Laddiman]

So ABORAL is a word. (YES!)

[Ben Hunter]

SIGHTSEER was an impressive spot by Jonathan.

[Stewart Holden]

SIGHTSEER brings back memories of driving past a road named The Sigers somewhere in west London with Mark Nyman in the car and him setting it as a puzzle. None of us got it.

[Dinos Sfyris]

Had exactly same words and solutions as Jon for for all rounds except rd 8 MOSEY, rd 11 UNISONS, rd 13 BORON and didnt get the last numbers so we were 92-92 at the conundrum which Jonathan got before I could even get a proper look! Nice game. Looking forward to Reams vs Corby immensely!

[Kathleen Batlle]

Great game and congratulations Jon. Is it me, or were the letter selections awful? I also got MOSEY, which is something of a miracle as I'm not very good at all. Bad day for Jonathon and I felt he'd given up by the time the last numbers game came up.

[Joseph Bolas]

SIGHTSEER was an impressive spot by Jonathan.

That was a very good spot by Jonathan.

Well done to Jon and commiserations to Jonathan. Can't wait to see the match between Corby and Reams.

[Paul Howe]

Well played JC's, Corby again looking very difficult to beat and a great conundrum spot from Coles to round things off.

Like everyone else, looking forward to Jon v Charlie.

[Ben Wilson]

Ahead of the much-anticipated Reams/Corby, I give you... Reams/Corby!

[Phil Reynolds]

I did the last numbers round as:

100 - (9x5 + 7 + 1) = 47
47x5 = 235

Jon's way was a lot more obvious.

[Martin Gardner]

Very high quality again, and I got ABORAL which beat the panel. One final thing, has anyone noticed that Jeff asks the contestants to declare in the wrong order? I.e. the person that picks the letters declares second.

[Chris Corby]

What you won't see on Thursday are the two contestants entering the studio holding hands and walking like that to their seats. The audience laughed, then applauded. Dudley-the-warm-up-man-Doolittle said he had never seen anything like it in all his years introducing the players. The last shot as the credits roll is also priceless but it may get lost as C4 splits the screen to trail the next porgrammes That's why I said in another post to record the early morning repeat about 36 hours later.....


However if you can't wait til Thursday and want to see the result, hlghlight below:


I can't believe you did it

This doesn't bother me, as long as he is consistent.

[Michael Wallace]

So, I've never seen anyone use SWMBO, and I spend Far Too Much time on IRC. Am I just not hanging out with the cool kids?

[Richard Priest]

ENTERIC, round 12, BANAL round 13.

Well done Jon, great performance, commiserations Jonathan.

Just as a totally pointless aside - I thought Jon's hair had grown back quite quickly since the game with Richard.

[Jon Corby]

Just as a totally pointless aside - I thought Jon's hair had grown back quite quickly since the game with Richard.

Well, it was 12 days ago....

[Dan Vanniasingham]

Another quality Corby performance. Next week is going to be a real shock to the system after all this.

I'm pleased Jonathan got the conundrum to go out in some style - he performed well, but ran into a man in fine form.

Just the Liverpool v Chelsea battle tomorrow to decide the SF line-up.

I missed the show (first in ages), so humour me - what happened?

They pulled up some advertising on the side of the credits where Jon and Charlie were... grr. So what happened? My guess is that Jon kissed Charlie.

[Dinos Sfyris]

My guess is that Jon kissed Charlie.

Yes but where...
