It is all good banter with Charnham, I intended to start playing the DSRPG way back in 2009 but work and life intervened. So I only started playing this past Summer. If there are an average 30 players, then each player could on average wait quite a while to score a win.

My target is to win one week by the end of 2011, so fingers crossed so to speak.

Charnham

I did think of joining a couple of times before I actually did, but finally got around to it, we both basically started at the same time, so in that respect there is nothing between us.

As for how long it takes to win, well that is tricky, plenty of people with good track records you need to beat to win, I fully confess I was a little shocked by my win, wasn't expecting it to come quite so soon. I really would have been happy to end the season with that 5th place the week before.

Young Apprentice surprised me, and most others by the looks of it.

Strange as it is basically a carbon copy of the original, just with people 5-10 years younger!

CBR was easiest to predict, I bet most people went 1.8m-2.2m and scored a 3 at least. YA seems to have caught out most of us, look at the range of predictions, 7.2m difference!! BBC News was very high (0.8m-1.1m above recent Monday editions.)

Better luck tonight.

Despite not having any full scores and my news rating being rubbish im happy with last night. However I tip my hat to Pizzatheaction

Me and Mr Average dont have a whole lot in common this week.

Charnham

25-10-2011

grahamzxy & Mr Average are quite close however, other than "The Impressions Show with Culshaw and Stephenson"

Im less sure about James Mays Man Lab, having seen the figures.

grahamzxy

25-10-2011

I find that I am pretty close to average most weeks. I know the top players can get 50pts each week. If I can get 40pts I am more than happy. I just hope ratings tonight are closer to averages.
