 But upon her return almost 18 years later, she made a much greater mark by securing her [[teapot]] thanks to a closely fought victory over [[Mel Smith]] in the [[Episode 8549|first show of Series 92]]. She then followed it up with six further victories, before just losing out on [[octochamp]]dom to [[Chas McLaughlin]].
-Her seven wins were eventually enough to qualify for the end-of-series finals as the eighth seed against top-ranked and eventual [[Series winners|series champion]] [[Jase Cullen]]. Unfortunately, in [[Episode 8667|the aforementioned encounter]], Cullen had far too much in the tank and powered away to a very dominant victory similar to [[Craig Beevers]]' performance in Kirby's first match back in 2007. This meant Shemina was knocked out for a second time, coincidentally to the [[Series winners|champ]] again, and she finished with 658 points from nine games in her 2025 appearances.
