-years later and with over 9,000 games on [[Apterous]] behind her, she came back for another go and kicked off with a very confident ten-max debut against Tom Iorio while also solving the [[conundrum]] to post an impressive opening score of 116. She followed that up with three further victories, with the scores dropping each time for an aggregate total after four games of 376 points.

-Pearson made her initial debut towards the end of [[Series 53]] against eventual [[octochamp]] [[Richard Heald]], who would coincidentally turn out to be the last octochamp run [[Richard Whiteley]] would preside over, before his death only a couple of weeks after the broadcast of the [[Episode 3943|episode]]. Pearson unfortunately could not quite keep pace with Heald, and ended up losing by a hefty 47-point margin.
