Time for the weekend's HugWatch action!

(Improvise some kind of tune)
Every one needs a hug once in a while, a hug can do wonders!
(Insert one of those traiangle instrument things!)
When your feeling down a hug is all you need.
So hug hug hug until your arms drop off...

Give me an H! H!
Give me a U! U!
Give me a G! G!
Give me a W! W!
Give me an A! A!
Give me a T! T!
Give me a C! C!
Give me an H! H!

What does that spell? HugWatch!

Friday 6th July

It was Mike aka Severed's turn in the Crazy Chair and, after dealing one deal too soon, there were lots of hugs after the LTL. Gavin came over from the West Wing and dished out the first hug.

Asim aka Uncle Fester closely followed and there were then hugs from the likes of Carol, Vicky, Maria, Debbie, Jenny and two others but I couldn't quite tell who they were. Here's the Leader Board:

Sunday 1st July: Asim
Monday 2nd July: Usha
Tuesday 3rd July: Gavin
Wednesday 4th July: Asim
Thursday 5th July: Gavin
Friday 6th July: Gavin

Sunday 8th July

Now, to today's action. Following Maria's very astute deal, Gavin was the first to hug her after the LTL results and Vicky closely followed. There were then further hugs from Alex, Rossano, Debbie, Annie and, last but not least, Robert.

Will Gavin make it three in a row? Will Asim or Brian beat him to it? Will Carol or Annie be HugWatch Queen for the first time? Find out in the last week of HugWatching before DoND's Summer Break....

(Piano)
Who will be the first to embrace?
Who will win the mighty race?
East or West?
Who's the best?
Lynn or Vicky?
Soon it won't be tricky!
Gavin or Caz?
Who's got the pzazz?
Will Asim rush to congratulate
Or will he commiserate?
(Fading piano)

HugWatch ohh yey!

Monday's HugWatch report is here:

Following Igor's ground-breaking game in which he dealt at 2p, there were loads of hugs after the LTL. Gavin strolled from the West Wing and Igor moved away from the Pound Table before they hugged. Annie closely followed and then there were hugs from Asim, Rossano, Debbie and Vicky. Here's the Leader Board for the first time in this, the last week of HugWatch before the Summer Break:

Sunday 8th July: Gavin
Monday 9th July: Gavin

Will Gavin win the Stakes again? Will Brian, Jon or Annie beat him to it? Will Siobhan be HugWatch Queen on her second show? Tune into Tuesday's HugWatch and all will be revealed....

Before I cover today's action, I'll tell you who dished out the hugs on Tuesday and Wednesday:

Tuesday 10th July

Following a nail-biting game culminating in Lynn's £50,000 win, there were quite a few hugs after the LTL results. For the first time ever, Jon dished out the first hug and he was closely followed by Asim aka Uncle Fester who gave one of his trademark Hunchback Hugs.

Carol was the next person to cuddle Lynn and then I think Karen followed but I'm not sure. Rossano, Alex, Joan and Vicky definitely hugged and I think Siobhan did as well.

Wednesday 11th July

As Gavin was in the Crazy Chair, he was out of the running to be in the HugWatch Stakes. Asim, his rival for the crown, won after the LTL on Gavin's show.

Rossano closely followed and there were then hugs from the likes of Vicky, Carol, Annie, Siobhan and Brenda.

Thursday 12th July

Now, to today's action. At the end of Carol's smutty game with her excellent OPW of £15,000, Rossano casually strolled to the Pound Table and gave the first hug. WOW!

Asim the Hunchback Hugger closely followed and hugged in his unique way and there were then hugs from Vicky, Siobhan, Alex, Jon, Alan, Norman, Joan, Claire and Daniel who dished his hug out just before the credits rolled to an end.

Yes, Carol bent over, and not for the time, to allow Alan to cuddle her!

Right, here's the Leader Board:

Sunday 8th July: Gavin
Monday 9th July: Gavin
Tuesday 10th July: Jon
Wednesday 11th July: Asim
Thursday 12th July: Rossano

Will Jon or Asim win the Stakes again or will there be another surprise victor like Rossano? Find out in the last HugWatch of the season....

(Piano)
Who will be the first to embrace?
Who will win the mighty race?
East or West?
Who's the best?
Rossano or Vicky?
Soon it won't be tricky!
Jon or Claire?
Who'll be the quickest there?
Will Asim rush to congratulate
Or will he commiserate?
(Fading piano)

HugWatch ohh yey!

Ooops, I accidentally deleted Friday 13th July's report by editing it and posting tonight's instalment!

HOORAY, DoND season 3 is here and now it's time for the first HugWatch report after the Summer Break complete with a BRAND NEW theme tune:

(To the tune of “Maneater” by Nelly Furtado)
Everybody look here, here
It’s time for the report of the HugWatch action
It’s HugWatch with all the news, all the opinions
It’s HugWatch with the Leader Board and the cheesy songs
That you all love!

Give me an H! H!
Give me a U! U!
Give me a G! G!
Give me a W! W!
Give me an A! A!
Give me a T! T!
Give me a C! C!
Give me an H! H!

What does that spell? HugWatch!

Sunday 19th August

Now, to tonight's action. For the third time in a row, Ron was the first person to dish out a hug, thus making him Sunday's winner of the HugWatch Crown.

Fellow West Winger Irene closely followed and there were then hugs from the likes of Jon, Kulwant, Brenda, Annie, Norman, Alex, Vicky and Claire.

Will Ron continue to be unstoppable? Will Liverpudlian tanning shop owner Claire be crowned HugWatch Queen? Will Brian surprise us all by being the first to hug a fellow contestant at the end of the show? Find out in Monday's HugWatch....

What has happened to this? David hasn't done a HugWatch report since Jenny's game which was on the 19th August?!

I think David gave up on it.
