However, this many people believe that this is being used as a cover up for Gino's real reason for departure. Rumours are rife that Gino spotted his wife, during a bout of Christmas shopping, leaving Argos with an ‘X Factor Karaoke Machine' and as a result has decided to plough all his attention in to trying to make a career out of being a singer and it is thought that the caption competition is being seen as a sacrifice that just has to be made. However, other conspiracy theories include Gino's love of being loved as a reason to pretend he is leaving, whilst others believe it is purely to create a media circus.
Meanwhile back on the pitch, the imminent departee remains in top spot and in fact slightly increases his lead despite not having a great week himself. Next door neighbour, but not for much longer, Gaz had another disappointing week but will see Week 20's double as his chance to claw his way back up the table, whilst Skipton_Bulldog and Stevelmu09 consolidate their positions in second and third place respectively.
Pre-season favourite Blockheads is finally beginning to put a run of form together that is worthy of him receiving such a status from the bookies. He had a dreadful start to the season but has put himself right back in the frame recently and claims his second weekly win thanks to an effort of “Bosses at 'Ready Steady Cook' are relieved when Poll decides against being part of the studio audience”, which nobody can deny is a funny caption.
You can tell that this isn't a doubles week as markthemiller has done fairly well!! It's a shame that Mark's form isn't up to scratch when it really matters. We can only speculate that his mental problems, that plagued him so badly last season, are beginning to return. Mark will know that his head needs to be in a good place and will see his recent spat, with competition leader Gino as a setback that could see a slip to an unhappy place for Mark and as a result, all the other readers of Millersmad!
Competition officials are looking in to allegations that UFO may have cheated. We all know that women just aren't funny and the fact that she has scored (for her) so highly have alerted officials. The only two explanations for this unusually high score are the idea that she might actually have cheated and got a male to think of the caption for her or a more common one doing the rounds that when entering Foo actually thought that she was in the world ironing competition, which would explain her good performance.
Attention seeking Timeforale will be happy with himself this week. Not only has he got a mention in this write up, for which is his desperate for but he also was the subject of one the caption submitted by Deano. Oddly enough not many people found it funny, whereas TFA actually had a good week.
