Pini Stimler was an octochamp in Series 94 from Hendon, North-West London. He was an antiques dealer and marketing professional as at the time of broadcast, and will almost certainly be back for the end-of-series finals in December.
Appearances
Series 94 heat games
Pini made his debut against Sandy Aiton, securing a very comfortable win despite missing out on a century. This was after a mistake on the final numbers round, and Aiton beating him to the conundrum of BANDWAGON. This would not happen again, as by coincidence within the seven further victories that Pini managed to log, he solved the conundrum at every time of asking. This ended up being a very helpful skill in his fourth, fifth and seventh heats; all of those solved conundrums were crucials, perhaps as a nod to the rollercoaster-esque nature of Stimler's octorun.
He managed to spot three nine-letter words: FEUDALIST, REPULSION and GASOLINES. He also had quite the variation in heat victory scores with his lowest single game tally being 69, and his current highest of 126 being logged in his final heat appearance against David Dales. In the aforementioned game, Stimler broke clear early on and never looked back with his octochampdom officially secured before the last letters round. His final points tally came to 765 (just two points behind current No. 1 seed, Karen Pearson) to take the second seed position, but with the rest of the series still to be played out. As a final send-off, Rachel Riley then dubbed Stimler "The Kingpin" as a mark of his achievements on the show to date.
