Ep 338: Hiep Do, Camilla Horn (December 14, 2011)

Rounds: Here.


The pre-game chat seems a bit light today.  Hiep is asked about what sports he plays, and mentions that he used to play soccer but has been injured for the last three years (ouch), so he's taken up badminton.  Then Richard and David talk about the origins of the word for a bit, as it was the subject of one of David's talks a while back.

Tonight's challenger is Camilla Horn, a personal assistant and karaoke enthusiast.  There's some general poking of fun at karaoke, and Camilla plays up to that.  Apparently she only wheels it out at the staff Christmas party, but then there's no stopping her.


It's a pretty shaky start from both contestants, with several invalid selections or just not having an answer at all.  At the second break it looks very plausible that we could be in for a new record lowest winning and/or combined score.  Fortunately the final numbers game is very easy and saves them from this fate, otherwise it would have been a new record for both, with the conundrum proving elusive.  Hiep hangs on to win, 32 to 23.

I missed some words that I should have seen (and that I did see not long after time was up), but I still feel much better about today than recent games, courtesy of solving all the numbers tonight.  They were easy, admittedly, but it's still nice to be back on track in that regard.  Now if I can just get it together on the letters again...

As usual, details after the jump.
