WE HAVE A CRUCIAL CONUNDRUM...........WHICH ONE OF THESE LEGENDS WILL BUZZ FIRST ?????
Round 15: B M A P O L I C Y
James buzzes on 9.5 seconds to say POLYAMBIC which is incorrect.
Adam buzzes on 29 seconds to say BIOCYMPAL which is incorrect.
The answer was AMBLYOPIC.
Final Score: 109–102 (max 121)
Another impossible conundrum that is guessed incorrectly by our legends .......This has been a cracking contest that could of gone either way.......firstly congraulations to James for getting into the champion of champions semi final where Florence Cappleman Lynes is his next opponent, Secondly take nothing away from Adam whose unbeaten run came to an end, he put up a really good fight against James and gave him a run for his for money, he can be proud of what he has achieved in his Countdown career......Join me again for the Semi Final recap......it is bye for now !
