Annie, it's you again. The good news is that you are definitely through to Round 3, as the current high scorer is Nick on 10 and you can only score a maximum of 9 because you are on 3 at the moment. But the lower you score here, the more chance you have of going first in the head-to-head, if you make it that far.

Annie says Praveen - let's see what that scores her...

It seems that Praveen is slightly more memorable than Dom!

Samantha was an advisor on the first winning team from Series 7 (along with the two Helens, of course) but no one remembered her this time!

Ross, we come to you to finish the round. If you score 5 or less, you will be through to Round 3 with Rosey and Annie. If you score 6, you and Nick will be in a tiebreak situation.

Mary
Like you, Annie - the only other advisor from Julie's team I could remember was Samantha.
-
Ross says Mary - let's see what that scores him...

No one remembered her either. She was one of Julian's advisors, of course. Let's see the whole board for that one:

And so Nick is the first champion to leave us. Bad luck for stumbling across the only wrong answer from the first two rounds, Nick - this ended up scuppering you, but I hope you've enjoyed playing. For Ross, Rosey and Annie, though, it's time for...
ROUND 3
Remember, only two of you will make it through to our Head-to-Head final - whoever scores highest in this round will be eliminated. We gave 6 people 100 seconds to name...
SPELLS CAST BY TEAMS ON LEVEL 3
So that's any spell (cast in the normal way, with the chant "Spellcasting") cast by any team at any point on Level 3. The spellcasting must have been completed and the spell must have worked.
Ross, please set us off again.
-
Uh oh, I don't like spell questions.
I'll go for GRIP please.
-
Ross says GRIP - let's see what that scores him...
pointless1.jpg
This spell was given by Merlin to Leo's team in Series 3, and was used to freeze Medusa's stony stare. And it scores Ross 1 point.

Rosey says ARKEN - let's see what that scores her...

This spell was used by Julie's winning team in Series 7 to activate the Arken Shield, which put Lord Fear out of action for a while, and it scores Rosey 1 point.

Annie, we come to you. Can you match these low scores with your first answer?
-
Annie says SHADE - let's see what that scores her...
pointlessanswer.jpg
A very shrewd answer there. I recall that a couple of shows ago, none of the answerers was able to remember that SHADE had been awarded by Honesty Bartram, and it seems that this spell is still as obscure as ever. As a few people know (but not many) Honesty Bartram gave this spell to Daniel in exchange for a Sight Potion, and it was used to sneak past two miremen on the Golden Galleon. Annie, you score nothing.

We now come back down the line for the second pass. Annie, it's you again. If you find another pointless answer, you will definitely be in the Head-to-Head final.

Annie says VISOR - let's see what that scores her...
pointless2p.jpg
VISOR was given out and used for Play Your Cards Right twice in Series 7 - Grimaldine gave it to Alex's team, and Greystagg gave it to Barry's team. Annie, you score 2 points, bringing your total to 2.

Ross, it's you again. If you score 0, you will join Rosey in the Head-to-Head final. If you score 1, you will be in a tiebreak situation with Annie. If you score 2 or more, you will be out and Annie will join Rosey in the Head-to-Head. What's it to be?
-
I was going to go with Growme!
This is really tough and I don't know what will be obscure but I'll go with SUN.
-
Ross says SUN - let's see what that scores him...
pointless1.jpg
This spell was used by Mark's winning team in Series 2 to find the correct path at the Stained Glass Window. It was awarded by the Gargoyle, and it scores Ross 1 point.

Ross and Annie are in a tiebreak situation, so another Level 3 spell is required from each of them. Ross, you're first.
-
This is tense! I'll go with OPPOSITE.
-
Ross says OPPOSITE - let's see what that scores him...
pointless2p.jpg
This was awarded to Dickon's winning team in Series 4 by Hordriss, and changed a bottle of poison into a nourishing liquid.
Annie, if you can score 1 or 0, you will join Rosey in the Head-to-Head. If you score 3 or more, Ross will join Rosey in the Head-to-Head. If you score 2, you'll both have to give another spell!
-
Oh man, I can't believe more people said VISOR than SUN - I was avoiding that one! Well done to Rosey though, I didn't think of GROWME at all.
This is unbearable, I don't know what to doooo! bites nails I've got a list of 10 spells and no idea where the risky answers are. Urgh... SLEEP?
-
Annie says SLEEP - let's see what that scores her...
pointless1.jpg
This was given to Mark's team by Merlin to deal with the dragon, and it's just earned you a place in the Head-to-Head final, Annie - congratulations! Bad luck, Ross - this round could hardly have been closer, but you're the unlucky one this time. Now, let's see all the answers for that question:
FIRE - 3
FREEZE - 3
FREE - 2
OPPOSITE - 2
RETURN - 2
SPLASH - 2
VISOR - 2
ARKEN - 1
DARK - 1
ENERGY - 1
GRIP - 1
SLEEP - 1
SUN - 1
TALISMAN - 1
TRICK - 1
GROWME - 0
SHADE - 0
Either Rosey or Annie will soon be crowned the Ultimate Knightmare Pointless Champion of 2011. The Head-to-Head final is coming later this evening...
-
Wow, that was close! Good luck girls in the final.
I'm surprised about Talisman and Trick being on one point - I avoided those as they were quest-winning spells!
