Quieter on the scoreboard, busy at the top of the photos: 680 captions from 45 captioneers this week, with 942 votes landed. Two more people took part than last week, though the vote count dipped a little.
Breakthrough of the Week: a first-ever Threesome for @Lara_Holly
Last week’s breakthrough keeps going. On one photo @Lara_Holly now holds 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, the first time she has ever swept a photo:
26 votes
“Loves reading trashy novels” tops it, with “Councils cut funding for mobile libraries” (13) and “Littery Agent” (10) behind. Those 26 votes are also her best-ever score for a single caption (previous best 23), and they tie her for the week’s top caption. Three different library jokes and all three came out on top.
Caption Champion
@Stephen_Bean finishes top again, on 104 votes from 52 captions.
The chase this week belongs to @Mark_England: 2nd on 90 votes from just 19 captions. It’s his highest finish since March 2019 and his first top-three week since July 2020. @James_Lennox takes 3rd with 65.
