Appearances

Heat games

Pini made his debut against Sandy Aiton, securing a very comfortable win despite missing out on a century. This was after a mistake on the final numbers round, and Aiton beating him to the conundrum of BANDWAGON. This would not happen again as by coincidence within the seven further victories that Pini managed to log, he solved the conundrum at every time of asking. This ended up being a very helpful skill in his fourth, fifth and seventh heats; all of those solved conundrums were crucials, perhaps as a nod to the rollercoaster-esque nature of Stimler's octorun.

He managed to spot three nine-letter words: FEUDALIST, REPULSION and GASOLINES. He also had quite the variation in heat victory scores with his lowest being 69, and his current highest of 126 being logged in his final heat appearance against David Dales. In the aforementioned game, Stimler broke clear early on and never looked back with his octochampdom officially secured before the last letters round.

Rachel Riley then dubbed Stimler "The Kingpin", as a final mark of his achievements on the show to date. He was eventually the last octochamp to get given a nickname (as Tom Stevenson was the starter, and then Series 87 was the official starting point of the cast members anointing nicknames to octochamps).
