You can, as long as what you submit are your own thoughts. A ~10 point deduction for lateness sort of counters the advantage of seeing what the averages are to be honest. And for all we know the averages could (and probably will be) way off...

It would be a shame anyway for you to miss this whole week since you're currently a contender for the overall season title.

I think that I will don't get any points with my prediction for X-Factor after I saw the average and the other end of the range.

Hehe! To be brutally honest, me neither. But you're doing really well at this game for someone who lives in another country and doesn't know the UK market too well. Well done mate.

Predictions sent! The 10 point deduction is fine mate. Like you said, It would be a shame to miss the entire week.

Cheers Dancc, much appreciated

I think I've underpredicted the Big Brother launch, and over predicted the X Factor...

Thank you very much. I am very surprised sometimes about my points.

* Average score: 9.0 points.
* mattpinder kicks things off with two back-to-back 5ers and a well above average position in the table- tsk, it's almost an advert for submitting late!
* But it's sn_22, who achieved the same thing last night, and current DSRPG champion Georged123 who share the lead with 5 days to go.
* Good luck with tonight's predictions, including the first of this week's specials Who Do You Think You Are?.

What a bad day.

I've been waiting ages for a really good day on this game.

Been languishing in mid-table for months now - its about time I made a go of a week.

In my defense, Holby has averaged around 5.2m for around 4 weeks now so that was a no-brainer. As for the Dwarves, I thought hmm, 2m was a little too low and 3m a little too high, 2.5 sounds about right.

Now I can be content with 3 pointers and just need to make sure that I can score something on every programme. Famous last words I know. Nice to be mid table even for one night.

LOL, fair enough, I'll let you off in that case!

Secretly (or not now) I'm just gutted that you caught up with me so easily despite my 'head start.'

Twilight tonight could be anywhere up to 4 million, so hard to predict. WDYTYA ought be a lot easier 5.5-6.0m would be the range surely. 15 points available - 9 points (3 + 6) would be amazing, but 7 would be good enough.

Some trivia - mr average score, would be on 12 points from 20 so far.

Jonwo

18-08-2011

I'm doing good this week, hopefully my WDYTYA predictions are spot on or at least close.

BTW is there any slots left for Season 16?

Twilight slumped - all the HP fans watched WDYTYA. So hoping 'Our War' & 'CBB' can do better tonight.

mr average score, would be on 19 points from 35 so far - if my arithmetic is correct after 3 days.

Thanks, as ever, to Dancc.

Thanks also to Roscoe for the schedule. Tough week, again. I suspect our Serious Predictors will await the first ratings for BB and X-Factor before rushing in. But I thought I'd just go out on a giant, lost limb as usual.
