Appearances

Series 94 Heat Games

Pini made his debut against three-time winner 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 BANDWAGON. By coincidence, this would not happen again, as within the seven further victories that Pini managed to log, he solved the conundrum at every time of asking. As part of quite the rollercoaster octochamp run where three centuries were logged, this ended up being a very helpful skill in his fourth, fifth and seventh heats; all of those solved conundrums were crucials.

He managed to spot three nine-letter-words; those being FEUDALIST, REPULSION and GASOLINES. He also had quite the variation in heat victory scores, with his lowest victory tally being 69, and the-then highest of the series 126 being logged in his final heat appearance against challenger David Dales. In the aforementioned game, Stimler broke clear early on and never looked back, with his octochampdom officially secured before the conundrum. His final points tally came to 765, only two points No. 1 seed Karen Pearson to take the second seed, but the series was still in its infancy at this point. As a final send-off, Rachel Riley then dubbed Stimler "The Kingpin" as a mark of his achievements on the show to date.
