 His [[Episode 8175|semi-final]] against [[Ben Bazzard]] was an extremely close-run affair – both players traded rounds early on with Bazzard spotting {{word|HORSEMAN}} and Seelam cracking a six-small numbers game. The two could not be separated by much after that – only an unfortunate gamble by Bazzard on {{word|snowday {{x}}}} and Seelam getting closer to the target on the final numbers round that gave him the breathing space needed to seal victory before the [[conundrum]], which he also solved. Seelam ultimately finished with 10 rounds maxed and marched into the [[Episode 8176|grand final]] against [[Harry Savage]].
-In the grand final against Savage, he got off to a flier by maxing the five of the first six rounds which included the solve of a tricky six-small numbers selection to put Savage on the back foot. However, Savage gradually put himself just in front by the second commercial break, and then played two aces in {{word|COMPANIES}} and {{word|GAWKIER}} which Seelam did not see. Seelam was unfortunately not able to claw back any ground after that, and the match was wrapped up before the final numbers game. After neither player cracked the conundrum, it made official Seelam's first defeat and status as the runner-up of the season with his lowest score of 77 points, and a final total of 1,145 from eleven appearances.
