Spoilers for Tuesday 5th September 2023 (Series 88, Heat 48)

[Ronan M Higginson]

The hunt for a female Octochamp goes on

[Ryan Lam]

It was literally that one Numbers Round in R9 that cost her the game, that is so, so painful

[Adam Dexter]

Colin was saying she was in the finals no matter what. I thought there would be around 60 heats left so don't think this is a given.

Is it a short series or was Colin mistaken?

[Toby McDonald]

Very unlucky Rachel, so close!

IDIOTAS in R10

R9 LNAFP: 3*6*8 = 144

Yeah, we cannot 100% guarantee at this point because there's still around 70 Preliminary Episodes to go. You never know, there could be contestants down the line that either become Octochamps or get 7 wins with a score higher than her. I would say at this point she is a strong contender to be in the Finals, but yes, definitely not automatically in at the time of writing.

Rick wearing his wife's clothes, presumably.

I don't think the ones in this game were too bad but generally a better response to seeing the answer is "Ah yes" than "???".

I think he was saying it was basically going to happen.
