 | Eoin Jackson So, Jedward first past the post with a max game. Wonder will anyone else hit a max? Tough format. |

 | Bailey Cowell tell me about it |
 | Damian McEvoy Many thanks Bailey - I had been on Death Row for 5 tortuous days and nights, and now the clemency call from Governor Tassier has finally come through. Thoughts and prayers that you'll make it too. |
 | Matthew Tassier Great work from the two who hit the max here, Edward and Elliott. Elliott's was his third Aegilops WL max game, took him into first place on this year's cumulative points and earned him the Strongest Link title for this round. |
| Matthew Tassier Damian's wait might have been tortuous, but Bailey's wait for mercy must have been worse, only getting saved when M S R played the final game of the round. This left Fiona in the unlucky position of being 1 point short of the cut-off. So Fiona, Hazel and M S R you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | Fiona T Thanks for organising, Matthew! gl to all the survivors! |
Notes from the organizer: Round eight is the final appearance of Apterous Prune, here to challenge you to a game in Aegilops format. Aegilops is similar to Normal except that large numbers may take any value in the range 11-99 and stepdown scoring is used. Prune will copy your choice of number of larges, with 1 or 2 being the usual preferences.
Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors : 53
Weakest Links required : 3
Historic average aegilops score : 168.49
Most Aegilops WL max games: 2 - Elliott Mellor
Highest scoring Weakest Link: 158 - Jon Elmer, Tim Down (2019)
Lowest scoring survivor: 130 - Sam Prouse (2018)
For more stats see spreadsheet linked below.
THREE lowest scoring Weakest Links will be removed from the tournament this round. If there is a tie for lowest scores then ties will be broken by total score in the tournament so far (see notes by matches).
