Spoilers For Tuesday November 24th 2009
Well, Charlie must have felt the Monday blues yesterday, falling to Jennifer.
That result means that Steve Wood will be gracing the finals in a couple of weeks. Who will be the 8th
Any one who becomes an octochamp within the next 15 days will be in the top 8. Will Jennifer be that 8th octochamp
Wait and see......

TONNEAUS as a beater in round 4 but better still NANOTUBES for 9.
I thought today's anecdote was a bit rubbish. Why go through all that history for one fact about a pub's name. Hmmm.

Well done. Thought you'd misspelled it at first. Good spot.Phil Makepeace wrote:Got there for R9.Phil Makepeace wrote:AEGROTATS?

So obscure that you wouldn't even think there was a word for it.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday November 24th 2009
Was screaming for a final A for PECULIARS in that last round. 3 nines meant I managed 151 points --- sexy letters today matched by an attractive champion.

Yeah same here, was hoping the A would appear. I think Jennifer was looking for it too.

I had TAILLESS in round 2 to beat DC (although only equalling Jennifer's SMALLEST).
Rather more obviously, kiwi fruit is sold in cans.Sue Sanders wrote:I expect pureed kiwi fruit is available commercially, even if only in smoothies and fruit drinks.Marc Meakin wrote:What about kiwi fruit

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday November 24th 2009
Did anyone else notice that Paul declared CROUTS in round 7 which Susie accepted even though it's not a word. Rachel put GROUTS up on the board so presumably both she and Susie misheard him, but watch it back on 4oD - it's not even indistinct - he quite clearly says "crouts".

Jennifer's doing well - I'll be quite happy if she keeps it up and stays on our screens for a few more days.

There was another "did anyone else notice" moment in today's game.
R10, challenger's declaration: 100...16...plus them together.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday November 24th 2009
Thought the max today was only 150, but who am I to argue with the Kirkulator? (For the record, I have the round-by-round maxes as 6,8,6,18,10,7,7,6,18,10,8,18,8,10,10.)Kirk Bevins wrote:Was screaming for a final A for PECULIARS in that last round. 3 nines meant I managed 151 points --- sexy letters today matched by an attractive champion.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday November 24th 2009
Haha you're quite right, I had to turn the page between rounds 10 and 11 and I miscopied. I went from 96 points to 106 points. What a cheat I am. Missed the max in round 13 but when DC said "we have an 8" I was like "ah damn - EPICURES".Mike Brown wrote: Thought the max today was only 150, but who am I to argue with the Kirkulator?

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday November 24th 2009
We clearly noticed it in the studio as well - I think to completely avoid an accusation of racism for the word (even though the spelling was completely wrong) there may have been an accidental on purpose "mis-hearing".Phil Reynolds wrote:Did anyone else notice that Paul declared CROUTS in round 7 which Susie accepted even though it's not a word.

Then again, I'm only speculating - maybe I'm wrong.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday November 24th 2009
Surely if that was the case, there'd have been a retake and they'd have asked him to offer a completely different invalid word. Or maybe I'm wrong.Jennifer Bett wrote:We clearly noticed it in the studio as well - I think to completely avoid an accusation of racism for the word (even though the spelling was completely wrong) there may have been an accidental on purpose "mis-hearing".
