larkim 20 Aug 11:18am, 20 Aug 2024 25,391 posts	0 larkim Enjoyed the missing words last night - more or less kept pace with the contestants. Annoyed I couldn't get the final connections on the wall, think we as a family got three out of four on both of them (helps to be a catholic household when popes appear!) Didn't look like the Sprouters (?) were entirely harmonious as a team; a bit of needle seemed to come across (e.g. the debate about which was the most common blood type) with their star performance (left hand end of the table) somewhat lacking in some apparent social skills in the way he interacted. That said, it must be tense for those taking part and difficult to present your most relaxed and happy-go-lucky demeanour when you're of the nerdy persuasion and OC may well be a bucket-list / life goal type thing so I'm not criticising him, just posting an observation!
JamieKai chameleon 20 Aug 11:44am, 20 Aug 2024 19,046 posts	0 JamieKai chameleon I had a rough OC last night, was mostly lost in the walls and didn't get many connections. Really enjoying VCMs not-opening monologues, looking forward to the story as the series goes on Don't think either side will trouble the later stages of the competition, although Sprouters were annoyingly quick at missing vowels.
Diogenes 21 Aug 10:46pm, 21 Aug 2024 87,701 posts	0 Diogenes I was equally annoyed at the second wall, the groups they failed on I spotted quite quickly, but it helps knowing one of the groups having already seen the first wall.

I thought he was a remake of the computer geek on The Office.
Raemondo 23 Aug 8:01pm, 23 Aug 2024 12,023 posts	0 Raemondo Does anyone else think that the ordering is wrong and OC should be last, rather than UC? Or am I just biased by my love of VCM?
