Morning all — the numbers are in for the week just gone (5–12 July). **765 captions** from **46 captioneers** , a healthy 7% up on last week’s 714. The vote tally eased back a touch to **1,147** (from 1,255), but the quality was anything but quiet.

## 🏆 Caption Champion

**@Stephen_Bean** finishes top of the pile again, gathering **138 votes** from 46 captions — and by a good distance too. Behind him, **@James_Lennox** put together a fine week for 2nd (88), **@Al_Overy** took 3rd (79), with **@Chris_Keegan** (57) and **@Dave_Bryan** (53) completing the top five.

## ✨ Quality Award

Best votes-per-caption ratios (3+ captions):

| Captioneer | Ratio | Captions |
| --- | --- | --- |
| @Mark_England | 8.50 | 4\* |
| @Al_Overy | 4.39 | 18 |
| @Chris_Halliwell | 4.00 | 3\* |
| @Dot_Old | 3.67 | 6\* |
| @James_Lennox | 3.38 | 26 |

\*fewer than 10 captions — ratio may be lifted by rollover votes still settling from the previous week.

Special word for **@Al_Overy** , whose 4.39 came across a full 18 captions with no rollover padding — the most substantial quality week of the lot.

## 🥇 Most #1 Captions

**@Al_Overy** led the way with **3 photo wins** , while **@Stephen_Bean** , **@Dave_Bryan** , **@Mark_England** and **@Jo1** each landed 2.

## 🎯 Milestone

A standout personal week for **@Dot_Old** (already up in the Quality Award table). She landed her **first-ever “Twosome”** — holding both the #1 _and_ #2 captions on a single photo (the rusty car): [_“It’s past its primer”_](https://www.caption.me/857601) on 14 votes and [_“Ford Rustang”_](https://www.caption.me/857588) on 8, seeing off the whole field. And in the very same week she ticked **past 3,000 career caption votes** — now **3,006** , good for **#66** on the all-time list. A fine little double.

## 🤝 Community Spirit

The votes don’t count themselves. **@Jo1** was the week’s most generous voter (84 placed) and backed it up with a keen eye — 30 finder points from 10 discoveries. **@Kathleen_Ralph** topped the finder table outright with **82 points from 39 discoveries** , all while placing 68 votes of her own. Grand stuff, both.

No new prizes or Tina Awards to report this week — but with Dot’s first Twosome and 3,000-vote milestone above, a strong showing all round. Keep 'em coming, and see you back here next Sunday.
