-In Gough's debut episode, transmitted on 11 May 2009, he defeated [[Paul Casimir]] {{score|115|84}}, scoring in every round. Throughout his run, which would prove to be that of an [[octochamp]], he got numerous nine letter words such as {{word|LIONHEART}}. On [[Episode 4818|one occasion]] he spotted two nines and achieved his highest score of 116. His conundrum offerings were infamously terrible, with five incorrect buzzes, including offering {{word|baulkline {{x}}}} as the solution to the conundrum scramble {{word|BAULKLINE}}.
+In Gough's debut episode, transmitted on [[Episode 4814|11 May 2009]], he defeated [[Paul Casimir]] {{score|115|84}}, scoring in every round. Throughout his run, which would prove to be that of an [[octochamp]], he got numerous nine-letter words such as {{word|LIONHEART}}. In [[Episode 4818|his fifth game]], he spotted two nines and achieved his highest score of 116. His [[conundrum]] offerings were infamously terrible, with five incorrect buzzes, including offering {{word|baulkline {{x}}}} as the solution to the conundrum scramble {{word|BAULKLINE}}.
-Gough's final octochamp total of 782 points was exactly the same as [[Cate Henderson]]'s. However, Henderson was declared the #2 seed over Gough because she answered more [[conundrum]]s correctly in the heats. As the #3 seed for the quarter-finals, Gough thus took on [[James Doohan]]. In a closely-fought encounter, he led going into the conundrum by just 9 points. {{word|NINECARAT}} was revealed; neither player could spot {{word|INCARNATE}} (though Gough did make a good guess, {{word|centarian {{x}}}}), so Gough advanced to the semi-final. Therein, he beat [[Hamish Williamson]] by 30 points, largely thanks to the nine-letter word {{word|REEDLINGS}}. All that now remained was the [[Episode 4843|grand final]] against [[Kirk Bevins|The Kirkulator]]. Though Gough made a good showing, he was beaten a few times by Bevins, who maxed the first 13 rounds, and a very hard conundrum, {{word|ROVINGERA}}, defeated both grand finalists to relegate Gough to runner-up position.
