    His impressions are OK, sadly the jokes to go with them aren't.

    What planet is Nick on? He introduced Becky, who talked with a fairly strong Northern Irish accent, then asks her if she's an American.

    If you watched Jon Culshaw's piece yesterday that was explained.

    She did it about 6 times on the trot then stopped. I think she was being fed the result via her earpiece and that became too obvious.

    Now she does it occasionally so it seems likely that is all her own work like the numbers is.

    Why would she be fed this via her earpiece? How did it become obvious exactly? Did she do a David Coleman with her finger in her ear?
    As bad as suggesting that Susie is fed suggestions despite her background and qualifications.

    At a recording, we could see Rachel putting Susie's words up on the board before Susie had mentioned them! Obviously done to save time (the schedule is tight), but it means Dictionary Corner probably aren't quite as good as they appear on TV.

    (Granted they have a dictionary, and have somewhat more than thirty seconds, but if the contestants could be given a dictionary each, I doubt it would help them much!)

    Was wasn't it. I thought that Andy was going out, after the first few rounds he was way behind.

    Not negative but positive for Andy, I don't click on links as they sometimes spread viruses, [or is that viri]?:confused:

    You think a .jpg file is a virus as well. I rest my case.

    Well you obviously knew that he was going at least one day further!

    Of course I did. :p I also know if he becomes an Octochamp.

    Kicking myself at some of my misses today though, also did at the time. But at the end of the day I was just there for the experience and to enjoy myself, anything else was a bonus.

    The contestants and audience failed to get it six times in a row?

    (There might be good reasons for not clicking the link for the paranoid: a malicious file which has been given an innocuous-looking extension being one.)

    I was disappointed you didn't get 'perkiest', as you seemed generally to be on better form than the other contestant. (BTW I think I was in the audience for that show, if it was on 11th December, although none of the rounds seemed that familiar. But then it was nearly two months ago.)
