Top 5 allegiances...1. mos623#1 USA ... 2. julieanne123#8 USA ...

3. Little_Heaven#6 UK ... 4. demurechicky#5 UK ...5. WorldB#2 USA

3/2 for the USA.....hmn...pengy has an observation. Obama's Army are not taking last months defeat lying down. Soon there will be UK & friends broken bodies strewn on the course. mos623 nicked the lead yesterday. I ask you...an american leading the Challenge...tut tut. I've seen a new, old face aswell. A USA reinforcement (veteran)...datrivialist. He's good and out of 252 troops who enlisted for the americans he was the 6th. That is true patriotism.

On the otherhand..and pengy is a born diplomat...only 6 players have not got a single question wrong yet. Only 6...or should that be an answer wrong? Never mind, it's impeding my verbal flow. 4 of these worthy fab players are UK & Co. That's what I was going to point out.

And if you think the skirmishing is fast and furious on the Challenge....

The Titians (can't spell it, always put an extra i in there)

Yesterdays top italian renaissance painter was paper aeroplane UK

Top 5 allegiances...1. Paper_aeroplane UK... 2. scubascott USA ...

3. dippo UK ...4. martin_cube UK ... 5. briarwoodrose UK

4/1 for the UK & fearless friends. Well done there paper aeroplane for snatching the lead aswell! The flags are running hot up and down this flagpole....it's going to be a toughie. I don't think the two armies have ever been so well matched.

Only 5 great wise worthies have sped across the battlefield everyday and not stumbled and got an answer wrong.

twosleepy USA

castortroy USA

scubascott USA

Oh well.....this has to be worth a cheer.....briarwoodrose and martin cube are super beings...bionic brains .... their nerve endings dipped in galvanized steel. These leviathans are on both lists! This has to make them my current fave players...what a fab start to the war. With troopers like that the UK need have no fear.

Or dare it say it, timidly....should they?

The Mogul

Yesterdays most magnificent movie mogul was shadowzep#5 USA

And he's leading too. Come on UK snipers....sight your weapons...don't let him romp off though I imagine he might be hard to see...sort of shadowy and vaporously ectoplasmic. Now movies is a killer...it could be justifiably claimed at any court martial that no one...just no one, has ever heard of the movies. Only 19 of you beat pengy's guillotine and got them all right yesterday. This was crucial. This had untold consequences. Before murderous movies came along the UK were leading the mogul, as indeed they led ALL last month.

Not so now. The USA have swiped a 30 point bonus lead. This is secret info leaked from HQ...to cheer up all americans who have not led since....oh, sometime last year.

The Survivors

Yesterdays steel sheathed winner was miffy42#2 UK

3 wins in a row for spiffy miffy...aw, that's nice. Is miffy going to win this time? Is he? Can he? He did once before...before the americans took over. Been going 6 months now and 5 of our acclaimed Sole Survivors are Americans. To be precise it's 3. mike32768...BB1 and WorldB ( 3 times, must be clones).

That's it! I've just had my first eureka moment for 2009 ....the top american players are been secretly kidnapped by the UK and fiends. Where has BB1 gone? Where has Eebs gone? And Surrealist. Did Marsalinator really voluntarily take a break or was he snatched? Your secret is safe with me UK

...you can tell me.

Time to train my periscope on the battlefields..

yes, I'm in my new submersible. An anonymous gift from one of you I'm sure...and I love it! But you know that's no way to go about a successful bribe...anonymous.

Is mos623 going to get 3 wins in a row on the Challenge. In a word...No. He's been tackled and scrummaged to the ground by markswood and whee and whee is flying from the flag pole! Wow whee. And...these two have bagged top spots on the mogul too...this is fine teamwork par excellence...

MarchHare007 is leading the Titians....but this is no ordinary hare..this furry ball has had secret service training. On the Survivor assault course, with the hidden Pit, markswood is romping off ahead today...hey I say this is impressive stuff markswood. What's your secret?

Time for me to trot over and referee I think. Todays treat from our loveable Qmel is sausage, eggs and cheese burritos...er, is that right? ...eating little donkies. I suppose I could always go for any of yesterdays leftovers.....but HASH! Isn't that illegal?

Ah...the second eureka moment has just occured....Qmel is whipping up volunteers to build me a wigwam out of rib bones. I'm going to get a peace pipe next aren't I? Am I right or am I right?
