Out of interest, did some of the finalists get that conundrum, but they weren't shown
Yes.

Who? I think you're telling porkies Taylor. I can't remember anyone else getting it. Were you even there on the Tuesday?

I'll only do it if it can be guaranteed that Marc Meakin doesn't find out where I live. If some people want to take part who to my knowledge have had conflicts with others who want to take part, then I’ll make sure that those people will not be sending gifts to each other, so won’t know each others...

Hey People. I/Ben had an idea (sorry for stealing your catchphrase Jason), and it’s probably really lame but I thought I’d see what you all think of it. Others may have thought of it, but then told themselves, “Don’t be silly! Why would I want to send a present to a Countdown freak who I know from t...

Wasn't it Charlie's fault it didn't happen last time? And he's up first again! Also, why can't Josh play? Basically, I get to the point every couple of months where I feel I'm playing too much apterous and it actually starts to change the way my brain operates. It causes me to start cocking up all ...

GUERDONS as a beater in round 1.

Josh Hurst

When I was 13, I tried to impress my mates by jumping through a powered revolving door as late as possible. It was like I was trying to replicate something that may have happened to Indiana Jones. I left it too late it seems, as my right leg got caught. It was stuck there, and I was in a lot of pain...

Josh Hurst

TOURACO round 11.

Josh Hurst

PERISTOME was also there in round 9. It's something to do with the anatomy of sea urchins... I think. Cba to look it up.

Josh Hurst

LISTENER in round 12.

Very well done Marcus, it was a pleasure to watch you in the studio, and a pleasure to watch you again on the box. My second fave contestant of the series. Peter Godwin is number 1. He's the people's champ!

Josh Hurst

INVERTASE round 2 and MORTICE round 3.

Josh Hurst

I thought I heard Alexander say "So, Lauren Laverne..." to one of the contestants today. It turns out that it was a tank of a man called "Lauren III". Great name. The guy he was with was called "Lauren", and was presumably his Dad judging by his age (I don't know, I joi...

People will probably moan at me for this, but I can't properly check it as I don't have my dictionary and apterous is down. Is PUPILLAE valid in round 9? I can't see it. You loser. Not surprised if you're looking in Dale Winton's skull! It's something to do with muscles I think, but must be invalid...

He got 110 today, and 946 overall.

Can't even hear my "booos" of disgust at the end. Denied me and Ryan the chance of glory in the audience. BASTARD!

Well done I guess.

Yikes! It could be smashed.

No, he plays Ed McCullagh and gets beaten. Suppose that's a spoiler so I should delete it.

Josh Hurst

Is he on for a max game here... No, missed PERENTIE in the round where he declared POINTER. 133/134 though, not too shabby at all I'd say. The 8 was SHITFACE Rhys. It was pretty funny in the studio when it happened. Jack just started laughing pretty much as soon as the last letter came out. Buried ...

Josh Hurst

CTDAEIFSH was the original selection in that round. It had to be re-filmed. Which Round? Why? Can't remember which number the round was, but the one where Alex declared SHAFTED and Jack declared HARDIEST. The reason is because there was a rather rude 8 which you wouldn't have heard of, Rhys. The D ...

It was a really shit, minor spoiler. Nothing about scores or owt. Sorry if it caused anybody any distress.

Josh Hurst

My total of 703 assumes that he got 115 today. I haven't seen the prog yet, but that's what I'm told he got. He did indeed score 115 today. 112+114+115+120+120+122=703 Soz Howard. I thought I remembered adding it up as 706 at the time, so presumed it was that. I then realised, after reading your po...

Just flicked through it, felt pretty bad for the challenger at the end, but some good banter with Jack. What's his total now?

706. Sorry there's no humour/attempted humour to accompany this post.

Josh Hurst

Just checked in slow-mo and the challenger had definitely beaten Jack to the conundrum but didn't have his finger on the buzzer! Ouch. That certainly wasn't groovy baby LIKE! You can tell that he lost his mojo half way through the game. Also, since Ryan introduced me to this openbook thing, I can't...

Josh Hurst

Openbook: Alice Hill just experienced the highlight of her day. A guy on Countdown that LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE AUSTIN POWERS.

So, does she mean Jack or someone else?

TREFOILED! LIBRETTO-I.

Great event. I think the format this year worked really well. People seemed to be filtered into the correct divisions based on their abilities. My fave moment was James beating Kirk.... LOL! Well done to Matt for getting to the final too. Cheers again Jeff for running such a smooth event. T'was also...

First time I've managed to watch a game go out 3.25 on Channel 4 for a while, and it's a great chance to check out the competition for the weekend. A very impressive performance Jack, both countdown-wise and in terms of on-screen personality. I'm going to have to practice my wisecracks for Saturday...

Josh Hurst

Producers - round 13 I think you mean PRODUQERS mate. Like how they were light hearted at the end there. Michael has to go back to his "Bedtime with the Bear" slot on bo selecta' until the finals, if he gets there. I'm prety sure his tail popping out put him off there. (Sorry Michael if y...

UNREELS in round 7 as a beater.

Josh Hurst

Flakes all around I presume.

Josh Hurst

I did a cringe. Well played Eoin.

Josh Hurst

I'll give you some company in here James. Peter is awesome, glad he keeps winning. The strange word WAISTS and TOWAIS were there in round 8 as beaters.

Josh Hurst

Jack: "I think this Bruce is gonna be an Octochamp".... WRONG!!!! He did look very good to begin with. Good enjoyable game today, Bruce was a bit unlucky with that last numbers and his "7" in round one. Peter seems like a nice chap, he likes to chat, which I think is charming. Ja...

Thanks for all the compliments chaps, nearly messed it up!! Still can't believe I missed the 9 as I thought it was were but for some reason decided I only had 1 n to use when i had 2!

I was on for a pretty big score, but struck a deal with Tom to save his dignity, letting him get the points in the final 2 rounds. I'm nice like that you see.

I think RESORBED was there as a beater in the round where they declared BORDERS.

Nice spot Josh. Haha yeah and did he move seats as Jeff said right at the back and he was clearly central on screen. Yeah, I had to move into the middle. I didn't notice at the time that Jeff said "Gentleman right at the back.", so it was quite funny watching it back and I was the gentlem...

I still find it surprising that they actually decided to execute him to save him from the public uproar he was due to receive as a result of his comments. I think that was a bit out of order tbh, even if he is a cock.

Josh Hurst

TFI Friday, goodbye John Gaunt!!! "All round good egg."? I think Jeff got his words muddled here, he was supposed to say, "What a fat annoying EARHOLES, it's John Gaunt!".

TOADLETS in round 1, unless DC said it and I missed it. Sorry if they did, alright? Also NEUTRINO as an equaller in round 6.

Thanks for letting me know. The "nest" series should be good with you, Scott and potentially Ben. How many people can you hold in your hand btw? Look forward to seeing you on the telly.

Josh Hurst

DEUTZIA as a beater in round 1, unless they mentioned it and I didn't hear. ONAGERS as an equaller in round 11, it's nicer than oranges I think. It's a creature/organism with a snout and a face. I'm not sure if it's vicious though. I reckon Rob looks a bit like a younger Terry Christian. I definitel...
