This game should be exciting for a few reasons: Kai has left us
after his impressive string of 8 victories, but on the plus side we have 2 exciting new contestants, and one of them is Irish, which is always good for a laugh, and furthermore he's a priest! Also the winner of today's game has to take on some David Beckham lookalike called Charlie Reams. I think he built this whole forum or something. Anyway lets crack on with it!Enjoy the show.
