He followed that up with six more victories which were not quite as emphatic; Bridgstock actually to solve two crucial conundrums as a testament to the strength of his opponents, and others like Tim Lawrence were not shaken off until the last numbers round of that game. Nonetheless, his seventh victory, where he also spotted another nine-letter-word UNEARTHED confirmed his qualification for the end of series finals with his last heat still to be played. In the aforementioned last preliminary, challenger Jo Goymour did well to pull back within range before the last numbers round, but an impossible 6-small pick ended up securing octochampdom for Bridgstock, who also spotted the conundrum SWANKIEST to secure the No. 2 seed at the time, with only two weeks worth of shows still to film.
