SPOILER:

All the Sarahs (and indeed Sara and Sarah-Jane) have been absolutely lovely, there seems to be a thing about them in general.

Yes, the double deal days over Christmas have of course meant that players who would've otherwise been on 6 shows by now are actually on 8 , and with all the craziness of the Christmas shows, I think their arrivals were a bit overshadowed, so I have to admit that I haven't really noticed the last 5 or 6 players yet!

Alfie - 27 shows (replaced Ian)
Frank - 21 shows (replaced Lynsey)
Mariette - 20 shows (replaced Adie)
Paul - 19 shows (replaced Jim)
Conor - 18 shows (replaced Donna)
Craig - 17 shows (replaced Simon)
Laura - 16 shows (replaced Sarah)
Nicola - 15 shows (replaced Brian)
Brian - 14 shows (replaced Claudine)
Thanh - 13 shows (replaced John)
Don - 12 shows (replaced Gary)
Jennifer - 11 shows (replaced Sue)
Elton - 10 shows (replaced G.K)
Gabrielle - 9 shows (replaced Karen)
Jasmine - 8 shows (replaced Wendy)
Catherine - 7 shows (replaced Rachel)
Stuart - 6 shows (replaced Wrighty)
Ryan - 5 shows (replaced Jenny)
George - 4 shows (replaced Danny)
Sarah - 3 shows (replaced Joey)
Daniel - 2 shows (replaced Neil)
Whoever replaces Lucy - 1 show

HURRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooh, also, Alfie has to play on Sunday. The previous three players from W7 (Pat, Spiky and Margaret) were all followed by players from W11 (Mark, Mark and Ian). I love trends like that...

But then no one would have done more than 22 shows.

True!! I'm so torn...nah, I'll stick with wanting Alfie to play. Then maybe Mariette can be a long-runner.

Spoiler:

I want Mariette to be a long runner, she's so cool.

Nobody on more than 22 shows. But still, I'll be happy for Frank to play on Monday, but then Mariette must do at least 30 shows. I hope her promising Noel that she'd tell us her New Year's resolution tomorrow isn't a sign that it'll be her game.

Hurrah! Still no one on more than 22, but now Mariette is the longest-runner! Now she can do 45984398 shows, then win the £250,000 and not cry.

Well I think Jasmine could be an early player. She seems from todays show to be pregnant.

I'd imagine she's been pregnant since she joined... (Unless Noel's been up to no good again )

I was thinking it last week but didn't want to accuse her of being pregnant when she wasn't...it was obvious today though. I love her even more now. I hope she gives birth on the show.

You can love her all you like but I am sure when she plays she will be married and had one other child already.

Damn...so I bought that engagement ring for nothing?

Awww... I think somone else might have beat you there, must check to see if she is wearing a ring.

Hahahahahaha! That would officially be the best thing ever! There was a conversation in the chatroom awhile ago about what would happen if someone gave birth on the show. They'd be some great break lines from Noel!!

"I think I'll have box 7 ne...oh Noel, I think my waters are about to break!"
"Oh, did you say break?!"

"What's the weight of that baby?"
"Dunno, 7 pounds?"
"No 2 or 3 minutes while we go for a break..."

"Congratulations Jasmine, it's a girl. The Banker is now offering you a chance to swap for a boy! Swap or No Swap?"
