Jack Harvey was an octochamp and quarter-finalist in Series 89. He was originally from Grimsby but now of Milton Keynes.
Appearances
Series 89 Heat games
Jack kicked off by beating three-time winner James Hussey on the crucial conundrum GOWNEDELK, which would become a recurrant theme throughout his games as he had to solve a further four crucials throughout his heats; one of those was after a very unfortunate guess from Katharine Randall, who wrongly gave ☓ unpowder instead of the correct GUNPOWDER which Harvey swooped in and solved after that error.
Despite never hitting the century throughout his run, and with some interesting guesses in his word choices which were hit-and-miss in terms of accuracy, Jack held his nerve and finished off by beating challenger Keith Aldridge before the final numbers round. After the game was done, this left Jack with a points tally of 696, an average of 87 per game, and made him the third octochamp of the series within roughly six weeks; it also provisionally set Harvey as the third seed for the series finals.
Series 89 Finals
He returned just over four months later fresh from his stag-do, where No. 2 seed Mark Finnerty lay in wait. Jack ultimately produced his best score on the show, hitting the century mark for the first time and playing close to Finnerty the whole game, which ultimately ended with the crucial conundrum LISTENPET after Finnerty blanked on the final numbers round. Unfortunately for Harvey, his guess of plentiest ☓ was wrong, which meant he suffered his first and only defeat on the show despite it being a personal-best score. His final points tally across 9 games was 796, equating to an average of roughly 88.5 points per game.
