2nd May Shout Box

Union Jack

Hoisted by jules44#2

First Blood to the UK & Co

That's it...start as you mean to go on

1. jules44#2 UK And already aiming for 3 In A Row...Brave girl

2. WorldB#2 USA Hah..leading the USA attack

3. Maggie#3 UK Always ranked...always at the top.

4. Little Heaven UK You had a great day didn't you

5. Eebs#1 USA Is brave enough to take weekends off? Wow.

I just love all the hustle and tussle and bustle at the start of a new battle.

Brave little troopers piling in in one big scrum. Plenty of action there. For peace of mind I've restocked on the bandages and splints...think they're gonna be needed this month. Are the USA gonna prove unstoppable and unbeatable? Time will tell. And how am I supposed to pick a fave player ? It was hard...again. But I settled on pwefc for romping home in the Top 20 of the mudbath.

And the Mogul?

Yesterdays top Music Mogul was Little Heaven UK

Oh well done there you angelic little host. Put in a pretty impressive performance on both quizzes so has to be my fave Mogul...oh yes...was the top trooper yesterday in my eyes.

Today I'm singing the praises of individual players...it'll come as no surprise that there was no Fastest Finger Record smashed last month.

The Speed Mogul still stands at 11 seconds set by midgetmark...and the Fastest Finger Champ remained unbroken at 10 secs...yes that's right...10 secs set by midgetmark. Don't think even midgetmark will be able to improve on that....*discreet cough* I'm waiting hopefully though.

I've dusted the podium and plumped up the cushions on the thrones...so..please..penguin would like to invite the new/old Challenge Champ midgetmark#1...and the new/old Mogul Maximus jules44#2 to climb up and take a pew.

Be seated...make a graceful wave, feign modesty and savoir faire about all the pageantry....and for the final 3rd throne reserved for our new MOP I invite mikew41#9 to come claim his crown and sceptre as Most Outstanding Player of the month.

Welcome to the new Three Great Ones.

Challenge Champ midgetmark#1 UK

Mogul Maximus jules44#2 UK

MOP mikew41#9 UK

And don't let it go to your heads guys/gal. Those crowns can feel awful heavy when the going gets tough.

Last months Daily Dervishes..that's most wins in total were:

Challenge...midgetmark#1 with 12 wins.

Mogul....jules44#2 with 9 wins.

No need to scurry up and down the podium stairs...keep your decorum, just a smile and nod of the head will do.

And now for 3 Wins In A Row...

Challenge...6 Wins In A Row was set by midgetmark on 3rd April.

Soon followed by 3 In A Row on the 22nd April.

Mogul....and not to be outdone jules44 set 6 Wins In A Row on the 27th.

I reckon 6 is gonna be pretty hard to beat if it ever can. And you have to admire these two for been genuises.

So we move onto the New Invincibles....but first I have to say there was wild partying on Mt. Olympus last night. Strange sounds drifted down from the american camp...just celebrating their win I guess. This just before the evictions.

From the USA I saw mos623...julieanne123 and shadowzep parachute out. ...and for the UK, thereds4ever...Stuhern...Little Heaven and Howie wafted past.

And which one was drunk in charge of a parachute...not telling.

Then the new Invincibles rode up in the cable car..

A Big Welcome to ryaman...hemisphere and Deborah for the USA.

And to Quiz Beagle...Squisher...mikew41 and magijoh1 for the UK.

There's that done it...your moment of fame so everyone can gun for you.

And finally but I confess, my fave bit. The Top 10 MOPS who get to live on the foothills of Olympus.

If you're sharp you'll have noticed there's 11. No, it wasn't because a traitorous bead got stuck on my abacus (technology huh!)...it's because there was a tie.

And here are all of you who challenged yourself and won...who improved your ranking and win personal satisfaction and glory.

Good work!

Name not here? Oh dear...it's commiserations. Bad Luck because you slipped down in the rankings or haven't played the Challenge long enough to be included. But be strong..gird your loins...May is a totally new battle!

Speaking of which I'm itching to toddle over to the battlefields and see how things are shaping up...so I'll be off. Catbrat has brought fried chicken for nibbles today...
