This time around:

1. BOHEMIAN
2. DISCOVER / DIVORCES
3. 858 = 8*(100 + 1) + 50
4. UPDATING, DEPUTING
5. FETICH, HACKIE; saw HOTCAKE a little after time
6. 171 = 2*(75 + 7) + 8 - 1; also (after time) 171 = (8*7 + 1)*(2 + 1)
7. REASSIGN; found ORGANISES after another twenty seconds or so
8. 659 = (8 + 5)*50 + 9; a shame that Brydon missed this version
9. CIRCULATE (12s)

So the higher-ranked seed won each game, which I guess one would have to expect. Each quarterfinal involved one contestant from each half of the season, so we'd only seen four of them in these re-runs. And of those, only Anthony managed to reach the semifinals.

Pretty ordinary game from me. Must be the pressure of the semi finals (Ha!)

NIMBLE
SCORED
Contestants' way
TINGED (wrote down DEPUTING but was not confident to declare)
FACET
2*(75+8+1)+1=169 (2 off)
x GASSING (sadly used G twice)
x used a number twice
x

*chuckles* I know what you mean, Mike. Bad luck about the last three rounds!
