As the first week draws to a conclusion, we see Oliver in the champions' chair after demolishing gay air steward Troy yesterday. Can he continue his run today?

In what seems to be a week of anniversaries this week, today it's 1 year since the word GANDISEEG first came to prominence on the show. Where would this show be without it

Brian Capron's been in good form in DC this week. How many more times are we going to see CAPRON in a selection when he's on the show. Maybe it actually will be a word in the near future.

Still, I'll see you all for the recap later tonight.

I notice you don't find it necessary to mention the sexual orientation of straight contestants.

Maybe, James is trying to reclaim the word, gay, meaning happy.
Although I have to say he is more guilty of tautology than homophobia.

Oh dear Jeff that was toecurling.

I was more worried that in yesterday's missive, he claimed Troy had a husband.

WASPIE in round one for a contestant beater.

KAIROS as a beater in round 4.

ASSORT in round 4

I thought kairous was a word, but no.

Surely therefore TROIKAS is there for a 7?

You guys are pants.

Where's the T?

Edit: I see....Peter has it wrong, ASSORT wasn't there as there was no T.

ZETETIC Darren of the week

Best spot/word of the series so far. Brilliant!

I was surprised that Susie didn't ask Ollie to spell it, as I spelt it wrong.

Did Oliver just inhale that water..he didn't seem to swallow!

Trust you to spot a water related incident

Is that due to my unnatural consumption of water during the show or untimed water drinking whilst on? Or something else?

All of the above

COLLEEN for a DC beater

COLLEEN in that round for contestant and DC beater?

Bugger - too late...COLLEEN, a young Irish woman. A definition can't hurt!

Nice spot.
Another recycled joke.

Tough conundrum, I liked Andy buzzing in "just to press the buzzer"!

Hehe that's what I did when I was first on.

Another great game, Oliver, well done. That's two opponents now that have been down and out and decided to go 4 large and/or 6 small just for fun. Unlucky if you're looking for that points total. I was lucky in that I didn't have many that did this...I'd like to believe that being a maths teacher scared them out of playing such games!

The guy who lost today looked gracious in defeat and was a real sport I thought. A nice handshake.

Edit: I was so tempted to go for BELLEND in round 12. Sadly, it's not in.

I have to agree, that was awesome.

I also enjoyed the guys rock band cover of the Countdown clock music. Alec Rivers eat your heart out.

I won't lie, I wouldn't mind a bit of my mix getting an airing, actually. How's about it, wonderful, sexy Damian?

Anyone forumites in the audience in that game?

Didn't see any

Never even heard of ZETETIC, great stuff. Very well played again Oliver, Andy was pretty good as well.

Guess who got the pencil for it on Apterous? A certain Mr. O. Garner
