Top 5 allegiances...1. shadowzep#5 USA... 2. Little_Heaven#6 UK... 3. WorldB#2 USA... 4. j2cp2#6 USA ...5. ryaman#9 USA

4/1 for the red devils! Oh almost...except for a cracking sprint to the flag pole by Little Heaven for the UK & fiends. ..but shadowzep is undoubtedly on a high fibre diet...2 wins out of the last 3 days. This is good. This must worry the UK generals. Not to mention cubswin2323 and deputygary both for the USA finnishing in the top 20. And then there is mos...magnificent mos623 bravely taking on the top two UK magnificos....jules and miffy. mos is the only american to have won the challenge you know...

But the toughest fighting has to be here...

datrivialist USA is under attack from flicker123 UK ..but both have reinforcements galloping up to join the fray...wakazawaka UK....argentum USA... twosleepy USA.... and flopsy for the UK, are coming to even the odds. Mmmm....sorry my american friends..with skillful little troopers like this ganging up on you I think I'll get the stars and stripes stretchers ready.

The Titans

Yesterdays top terrificus titan was Quiz Beagle UK

Top 5 allegiances....1. Quiz_Beagle UK... 2. bernie73 USA ... 3. poolosopher USA...4. martin_cube UK ... 5. scubascott USA

3/2 for the americans. My you were on top form yesterday my friends....both the Challenge and the Titan battlefields falling to red supremacy.

Though it has to be said, only three americans have scrambled up the flagpole this month...this is truly fiercesome resistance from the blue team....taking on the might of Obama's Army...but, alas, it's another trooper with flaming red heels scampering off over the distant horizon in the lead. And with poolosopher guarding his back...say no more.

The Mogul

Yesterdays most magnifico mogul was miffy42#2 UK

And that makes it 2 wins in a row 2. And miffy has won most bonus goodies to stash in the UK arsenal too.

Top 6 UK & fiends bonus baggers...worthy of a gun salute

Here have a smoked kipper each....I prepared them specially for you as a treat. Fishy protein is good for the brain! Not that you seem to need any artifical brain enhancement.

The Survivor

Yesterdays steel sheathed winner was poolosopher USA.

Whew pool I'm going to rummage in my kipper bucket for you in recognition of your superior orienteeering skills...yesterday was a toughie. Geography. ...and you were the only one able to get 10 right! The rest of the field lost their compasses somewhere and went on a mystery tour. What a darn shame you were eliminated in KO1...Fate can be unkind.

Speaking of KO's and piranha's treats...and he finds you all very tasty by the way...some of you have escaped the culling longer this month.

I speak with baited fishy breath of jacky UK who was eliminated in KO1 before and is still in the running ...well done there!

KO2 victims last month were castortroy USA and onebraincelluk UK and they too have survived (there's a poor witticism in there somewhere with castortroy and fishy oils but I won't inflict it on you). So for surviving longer these three are my fave players ...jacky UK....castortroy USA and onebraincelluk UK

KO3 is due on Wednesday 21st...and troopers who are still in this time..but alas got eliminated last time at this stage so I wish them luck....are...

Because I am essentially at heart a humane pengy I sincerely hope you 8 brave fighters win through to the Final Frontier this time....believe me, I shall be sad if you slither into piranha's jaws. I will. Honest. Reaching the Final Frontier has to be on a par with been an Invincible on the moh scale of hardness.

So what's today mental mashing subject? Science & Technology...ah. This is one of my faves...makes me thinks of all those research stations that are set up on my home turf...very nice people they are too who photograph my relatives and do other obscure human things.

And Qmel's mouthwatering treat today is Baked Alaska...sounds tasty. Foreign food wasn't it...once
