'''Grace Page''' was the runner-up of [[Series 48]], losing to [[Julian Fell]] in the final. She won 8 heat games with scores ranging between 90 and 120. In one game she got two [[nine letter word]]s -  {{word|FLAGSTONE}} and {{word|INSPECTED}}. She qualified as #2 seed (some way behind Julian Fell with 924 points), but beat [[David Nickeas]] only narrowly in the quarter final before beating [[Joe Zubaidi]] more convincingly in their semi-final. In the final, the numbers #1 and #2 seeds matched up against each other. Grace made a bad start, missing {{word|CREMATION}} in the first round and never recovered despite beating Julian with {{word|KNITWEAR}} and the final numbers game. Grace appeared in the [[Championship of Champions XI]], losing to [[Rupert Stokoe]] of [[Series 47]] by just 10 points. Grace is the only woman to score over 800 points in eight heat games, and the only female Octochamp to make the finals of a Series since the [[15 round format]] was introduced - [[Anita Freeland]] made the final of [[Series 56]] but was not a Octochamp.
