We wrap up this week with a new champion, Sarah Taylor. Can she end the week as chap, or can a newcomer take us into Monday?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

I need a working stream (they can be fickle sometimes), but as long as I do, I can bring back the recap made in the United States for a one or two off appearance.

Jordan F

Michael McLaughlin is now a two game winner, he'll need to win some more though to try to make the finals, with how tough this series has been. Can he get a third?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

AoPOTHEM, which the corner seems to keep on missing for some reason.

Also, alt. numbers game: (75+1) x 5 + (9x2)

Jordan F

Michael McLaughlin defeated our own Alan Young yesterday, now can Michael get a second win of his own?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

We have 3 wins at present for the man some call Youngy. Alan Young needs to win a couple of more to claim a spot in the finals and scare Zarte. Can he get a 4th to move even closer to this process?

Join...I think Jack still has Tuesdays for now...for the recap later.

Jordan F

I'll bite, I have the different job amongst us anyway. Not sure if weird is the right word, but not like most.

Currently, I'm a theatre director in the Off-Off Broadway community of New York City. Nothing major, just houses that seat less than 100 people.

Jordan F

One other interesting question that I thought of just a minute ago. Has anyone ever done what I'll refer to as a reverse Peter Lee/Philip Jarvis? In other words, has anyone ever been on the show in an initial appearance where they won at least one game, and then came back in another series and lost ...

Jordan F

Alan Young got a win yesterday and representing apterous well. Can he end the week with a second?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

Joe Branker won in a low-scoring but very close affair yesterday. Can he get a second? Today's opponent will likely be harder for Joe, as apterite Alan Young is going to take his chance at a teapot. Can Alan succeed, or will Joe get win number 2?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Bradley Cates did it and became an octochamp, so we have two new contestants today. Who will succeed and try to get onto that leaderboard?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

We're at another potential coronation day here on Countdown (they seem to be happening a lot on Tuesdays, don't they?). Bradley Cates, after winning 3 games as an 11 year old, is on the verge of becoming an octochamp at age 18. More than likely a win would put Bradley at number 4 on the leader board...

Jordan F

As we wrap up the week, Bradley Cates is on 5 wins, and a possible 6th could be coming. As long as he scores at least 50 points, he will surpass Abdirizak Hirsi and move into the top 8 as of now. He would need 96 points or a win to surpass Zarte Siempre, and if he does win, he will more than likely ...

Jordan F

4 wins for Bradley Cates, and if he wins today, I'd start getting nervous if I were Abdirizak Hirsi (and to an extent Zarte Siempre). Will he do it?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Three wins now for Bradley Cates, is a fourth coming?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Was that a 13 maxer for Bradley? If so, very well done, and very well done anyway. Was this the biggest score from a non-apterite in recent memory?

Jordan F

Two very solid wins for Bradley Cates, is a third coming?

Join the recently turned adult Jack Worsley for the recap later.

Jordan F

Is Bradley an apterite under a psuedonym or one of the best non-apterites in recent memory? I'm not sure.

Jordan F

Wow. That may have been game of the series right there. Very well done Bradley, it looks like he hasn't lost his touch since his 11 year old days. And extremely unlucky to Mark, to put up a performance like that and lose is a tough thing, but clearly Bradley could be octochamp material at this pace.

Jordan F

As we end the week, Mark Hartnett is up to 3 wins, and would like to end on a 4th. Could he get it? He has an interesting challenge today from what I understand. Today's opponent, Bradley Cates, was on the show in early 2007 as an 11 year old and won 3 games himself before losing to our own Ian Vola...

Jordan F

Mark Hartnett is up to two wins, though he'll need a few more to definitely be in the finals. Is a third coming?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

It's the end of the era of Hirsi and now the beginning of the era of Hartnett. Mark Hartnett won a high scoring game to get on the mark, can he get another?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Well, that was quite a barn burner wasn't it, very well done Mark, you beat a tough opponent. I think as much as Abdi has caused some controversy, he brought a lot of genuine skill to the table too, and joins the club of those who have averaged over 100 but not been an octochamp. We'll see if it's e...

Jordan F

Couple of things regarding the stat of a contestant's raw score compared to their maximum (We'll call this the R-M% stat): *By R-M% stat, would any of say the last 6 finals leaderboards have changed if that was the criteria? What would they look like if that were the factor (with the same group of p...

Jordan F

I'll only mention this instead of him since I don't believe he's on this site, but Horace Horlicks mentioned to me that he airs on the 29th.

Jordan F

Abidirzak Hirsi has caused a lot of discussion on here, but one thing that can't be doubted is that he's up to 5 wins. Is a 6th coming? Won't be easy, because we have the man known on apterous as Mark James competing today (though I believe his real last name is not James). It'll also be interesting...

Jordan F

As we end this week, Abdirizak Hirsi is up to 3 wins, including two centuries in a row. Can he end this week on a 4th win and move closer to the leaderboard?

Join a human being for the recap later. (What happened to you, consistency in Friday recappers?)

Jordan F

Is this our Fiona challenging Abdi?

Jordan F

ANNOYER is that 7 I believe.

Jordan F

Abdirizak Hirsi prevented Callum from becoming an octochamp yesterday, now we'll see how he does in his own right. Will he get a second win? He may want to get some easy wins early, because Mark James is going to be looming on the horizon next Tuesday if he makes it that far. Join James for the reca...

Jordan F

That's gotta be rough if you're Callum, but very well done to Abdirizak, Hansfording aside he did have the lead for most of the match so I can't say it wasn't deserved.

Jordan F

For the 5th time this series, we have ourselves a coronation day possibly (and once again on a Tuesday). Callum Todd is on the verge of becoming octochamp number 5, though it appears win or lose he'll be in the fifth seed for now. Can he do it? As I'm aware, there will be one more big hurdle in his ...

Jordan F

As we end the week, Callum Todd is presently in the top 8 with 5 wins, but a 6th will help his position even further. It's entirely possible he could surpass June Glasspell with a loss if he scores at least 56, but he would need a win to surpass Zarte for number 6 spot. What will happen? I'm not sur...

Jordan F

Callum Todd is on a 4th win, and win or lose, he will almost certainly make the top 8. The 5th win will help him in the security of that spot though. How will Callum do?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

You never know. I'll alter.

Also, APOTHEM, which was gotten yesterday I believe, but missed today.

Jordan F

Callum Todd is up to 3 wins, and while a 4th wouldn't necessarily clinch a place in the finals, it would make Margaret Lawless worried, that's for sure. Can he do it?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Two wins now for Callum Todd, can he get the third today?

Join Jack for the recap later.

Jordan F

As we end this week, Ritch Greenwood has 2 wins and is going to try for a 3rd today. What he has to face will be no easy feat though, because today he plays against apterite Callum Todd. What'll be interesting is that if I recall, Callum was not an apterite when he taped, so we'll see how good he wa...

Jordan F

We have a new champion in Ritch Greenwood, our first non-apterite champion since Peter Etherington, and only the second in over 2 months. Can Ritch get another?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Yet another Tuesday coronation is possible here on Countdown. Alex Fish is one game away from becoming an octochamp. Win or lose, he'll likely stay in the number 4 spot for now, however he is also 96 points away from joining the 800 club (a touch fascinating considering he's only had three 100+ game...

Jordan F

That Round 2 was beautiful. That is all.

Jordan F

As we wrap up the week, Alex Fish is at 5 wins. Can he get a 6th? He'll probably need a 6th to advance beyond the 6th seed, however if he does, he would only be 95 points and a win away from surpassing Gemma Church for number 4. We shall see how it all plays out.

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

4 wins and a place in the present top 8 is what Alex Fish has right now. Can he improve on this with a 5th?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Three wins now for Alex Fish, a fourth will definitely put him int eh current top 8, and he might with a loss too since he'd only need to score 41. But hopefully he gets the win, will he?

James will recap later.

Jordan F

Up to two wins now for Alex Fish, can he get a third?

Join Jack for the recap later.

Jordan F

Another game for your pleasure generated by Kountdown. Patterns will be 3, 4, and 5 vowels for the letters. Random.org determined the numbers game will be two six smalls, a two large, and a four large, in that order. Conundrum made by me (hopefully it's OED valid) 1.IOOHLBNYS 2.RAKUGAMAM 3. 2 4 5 7 ...

Jordan F

Natalie Corriette is up to 2 wins and a remarkably consistent average of 84 points per game. Can she get the third? As I understand it may not be easy, as apterite Alex Fish is in the wings. Whoever wins, the apterite streak will be extended to at least 33, including today and Monday. How will all o...

Jordan F

Natalie Corriette, who I don't remember (my apologies Natalie) won yesterday to keep the Apterite streak going and extend it today to 31 games featuring at least one of them. Can she get the second win?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Two new contestants will grace our stages. And unless one of the contestants is someone I don't know of, this will be the first game since July 22nd where at least one of the two players is not an apterite, for a total of 29 prelims. Stats people (aka Graeme): Is this the longest consecutive streak ...

Jordan F

This is it. Jen Steadman is on the verge of becoming many things. First and foremost is an octochamp. Secondly is the likely title of undisputed greatest female player in the 15 round era, if not of all time (The highest score by a woman in the 9 round era I believe is Lucy Roberts' 504, which I'm n...

Jordan F

Tony Atkins wrote:Shame they all missed the final 9 in round 13 - but first 12 maxes + a 13th on the numbers is pretty hot by Jen.

That answers my question. Jojo, I thought Ned blocked Jen from getting a max game with the conundrum, but clearly not now.

Jordan F

Did Ned just break what I think he broke? If so, I'm not mad at Ned, but that hurts. Very very well done to Jen regardless.

Jordan F

Jen Steadman's wraps up this week on 5 wins, if she gets a 6th she'll almost certainly move up to number 3 seed, we'll see if she can challenge for 2 or 1 later on. But moving forward, can she get the 6th?

Since Andy is on vacation, join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

4 wins for Jen Steadman now, who keeps improving her score every time. Maybe today she'll break the record? Today may be her hardest test though. From gathering other posts I've read, she has to face a top Scrabble player today, and there have been some dangerous Scrabblers in the past, so we shall ...

Jordan F

Jen Steadman keeps improving her average, with a 14 maxer yesterday. Can she get a 4th? Even if she doesn't, she'll probably be in the current top 8 win or lose, but obviously the more wins the better.

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

I counted a 14 maxer for Jen, anyone else want to confirm that? If so, fantastically well done.

Jordan F

Jen Steadman got another solid win, is a 3rd in the cards? If she does, it's possible that she could knock Steve Grimble out of contention, but we're not 100% sure, we're not even 100% sure if he's ahead of Rory Coleman (though with no disrespect, I don't see Steve scoring 119). Either way, let's se...

Jordan F

Peter Etherington won on Countdown for the third time, though the last two came in 1992. Can he wrap up the week with a second? It won't be easy, because for the second day in a row, Peter has to face a strong female apterite. This time it's the top ranked woman on apterous, Jen Steadman. How will t...

Quick question: Is there an allocated job for whoever does the spoiler threads or do you and JR just do them as nobody else does?... Here's how I remember it happening. James used to do all of them until about...early 2012 or so when his work schedule made it harder. I figured the time I would put ...

Jordan F

Six wins for Gemma Church, and what should solidly be the number 3 seed is in her hands either way. Can she improve her resume with a 7th win?
