Spoilers For Tuesday May 25th 2010

Post by James Robinson »

Well, is it going to be 3rd time unlucky for a 7-time winner this series, or 2nd time lucky for a 7-time winner this series :?:

Apteforumite Danny Pledger is one step away from octochampdom, a #2 spot in the rankings (unless a perfect max game is about to come out of nowhere all of a sudden) and a lot of praise by all of us for reaching that seemingly elusive title this series of octochamp.

I won't mention "you know what", so as not to invoke the wrath of "we know who". (starting to turn into Harry Potter now, isn't it :?: :lol: )

Ryan will be along with the 2nd half of his double bill later on.

77 or under will be it, 78 will tie, over 79 will be clear. Of course, if he doesn't win today, it doesn't matter, although we do hope he wins obviously. ;)

Am I the lowest scoring octochamp then?

How about that. Just goes to show that it was very much luck of the draw..

Whoops!

Forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS DANNY! An octochamp is an octochamp, forget what you got, many contestants don't get one victory, celebrate winning eight.

Yeah, but you're an octochamp, which about 98-99% of the people on this forum can claim not to be.

Well done, Danny. Good luck in the finals. ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-)

At least tomorrow will be the first Robinson Recap featuring 2 new people. 8-)

CORTEGES to equal DCs ESOTERIC. Guess Dr.Phil couldn't find a nice tie-in to the medical profession.
Congrats, Danny & good luck in the finals.

Well done Danny. :D

(50-(8+4))x7+3 = 269, as an alternative for the second numbers.

Rather surprised by your vague percentage here, James. ;)

I was also surprised that Dr Phil's Carry On-esque "I've got a large one" didn't start Susie off giggling.

But well done to Danny - there have been some nail-biting moments, but each time he's pulled through, and produced good games to watch.
