So, Niall didn't quite have it all his own way yesterday against Stuart, but he came through and got his 5th win, meaning he can still make it to the finals, although he'll definitely need to make sure he acquires a lot more points to make sure of his place.

I say that, all he has do is maintain his average points haul, and he'll be just fine.

Right, in terms of recaps, it was supposed to be Oliver's turn, but he's busy with educational matters, so I offered to take his place, but then realised that the mighty Terriers are playing MK Dons tonight, so I wouldn't be able to do a noteworthy recap, so I've decided to pass it on to the "Gentle Ginger Giant", Ryan Taylor to fill in tonight.

P.S. Ryan, if you hate that nickname, please say so.

This sounds like a game.

Not quite. Winning is probably more important. If Niall doesn't win both today and tomorrow, he won't pass Peter, no matter how many points he scores.

On the other hand, if he wins today, tomorrow and Thursday, then he's in the finals even if he scores a lot lower than his average.

Thank goodness we have you around, Howard.

I think we'd all be a bit worse off without your wise mind.

I definitely disagree with you there, James.

Looks like Rochelle might have lost the head here. Hope she can turn it round. She's way hotter than Niall.

A win tomorrow and Thursday with 234 - 270 points between 2 games will put him 6th. (234 will take priority over Tom by number of conundrums spotted (270 will mean Scott takes priority))

A win tomorrow and Thursday with 271 - 294 points between 2 games will put him 5th (294 gives Marcus priority).

A win tomorrow and Thursday with 295 - 300 points between 2 games will put him 4th (300 gives Daniel priority).

A win tomorrow and Thursday with 405 - 436 points (because 437+ is impossible - it is only possible to get 218 points per game) between 2 games will give Niall the octochamp record and the lead.

Reopen that calculator because it's possible to get 238 points per game.

And I won't pretend I read the rest.

When Jeff was doing his "top ten songs played in Indian restaurants" thing, is it just me who thought he was building up to "Ring of Fire"?

But can you make eleven valid nine-letter words from the standard letter distribution?

Exercise for the reader.
