YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Just got round to watching today's show (and Wednesdays). I saw a nice 6 in the form of KABOOM. That's all I have to offer.

Ryan Taylor

In me please

First round match:

Ryan Taylor 92-85 Karen Pearson
Ryan Taylor 92-67 Karen Pearson

Ryan Taylor

Bitterly disappointed that Clarke didn't win and continue into next week. He was better than I was expecting (I presumed his appearance was just overhyped but he really was a good player).

What was with the camera shot of Rachel working it out? She couldn't stop laughing! Also Jay's facial expression made me laugh when they went to the audience. Good contest, I really liked Barney!

Yey! Go Heather, nicely played!

Just watching now, skipped past the spoiler posts. Someone probably spotted ROUNDELAY already?

Edit: Bloody Davies!

How long a break is there between each of those 5 filmed episodes? Usually filmed on consecutive days, but if you happen to be at the end of a filming session, the break could be several weeks. Sorry, I meant how long a break between each of those 5 episodes filmed on the day? eg an hour etc IIRC (...

Ryan Taylor

Unlucky, Craig. You looked pretty annoyed at the end there. I found it funny when, just as the credits were about to roll, you took a deep breath and laid back with your hands on your head. Then, superimposed on you was a woman with her hands on her head (for a programme later) - was pretty uncanny...

Ryan Taylor

I had VIRALS disallowed. I thought VIRAL would be in the dictionary in the sense of a video or image that is passed around on the internet (like that Rick Astley one). Devastated.

The point isn't that it's 'easy' per se, it's that generally it narrows down the routes method-wise, and so you're less likely to be out-thought by your opponent. You basically look for what you can multiply the large number by to get close to the target, and go from there. By even picking two larg...

Choose the letter at the beginning? Surely this is pointless.

Ryan Taylor

Not that I'm stalking or anything either but I found her on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=602070112&ref=search&sid=609731743.1569119457..1 That's dedication Ryan. How many of the 861 Catherine Jacksons did you have to go through? Ha! I refined the search with ...

Ryan Taylor

A variant where every letter picked can also be the letter above or below in the alphabet. Too complicated? Or just pathetic?

Ryan Taylor

The contestant today was so hot, but I missed the intro. Was she married? How old was she? Not that I'm stalking or anything but what a shame to see another hottie lose. I found her on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=602070112&ref=search&sid=609731743.1569119457...

Ryan Taylor

Great contest and well played Craig, unlucky Catherine

Ryan Taylor

Argh crucial. I hope SINUSES isnt costly

Ryan Taylor

I've been away for ages, but wow yes. The best I've ever seen on the numbers. Has he actually dropped any points on the numbers yet? I can't think of any. I remember Mike Pullin from Series 47 being unbelievable on the numbers, this guy is better. He missed a (relatively) easy numbers game with 6 s...

Ryan Taylor

Go Craig.

Ryan Taylor

A good victory, well played. Playing along at home it was a good contest too, by getting the conundrum faster I won 108-107 - you had me beat in rounds 10 and 13. Look forward to watching your next show!

Ryan Taylor

You are welcome, Jason

Ryan Taylor

It was a joke, Jason.

Possibly the semis or the final. There should be some flexibility to the timeline though if everybody plays their games quickly.

I will have exited the tournament by this stage, so thats ok!

Ryan Taylor

Playing along at home I took a punt for OUTSTEER and thought at the time Jay had said OUTSTEER too, but then thought nothing of it when the other contestant showed him OUTSTARE and I just assumed Jay had said OUTSATRE instead. Going back over it on sky plus there is evidence to suggest he did say OU...

Money isnt too much of a problem, just the day and time is. Have you any thoughts for dates?

Round 6: BROCADES - barcodes^

Ryan Taylor

Really good game, enjoyed it from start to finish. Thought it was over as a contest when James picks out MEDIATES and NEMATODES early on, I imagined he would continue in this form - but no! Howard did excellent to comeback from that deficit early on when it would be so easy to think the game was ove...

Ryan Taylor

One other point, I so hope that James doesn't try to do that "Inverted-J" again. Anyway, was that even inverted :?: Inverted means upside-down, whereas James just turned the "J" 90° clockwise. At least that "C Formation" (Copyright J. R. Robinson 2003) worked for him i...

Ryan Taylor

Great performance again Oliver!

Ryan Taylor

CATSUIT for DC and ocntestant beater in round 7

Ryan Taylor

Go Oliver.

Ryan Taylor

I also enjoyed the guys rock band cover of the Countdown clock music. Alec Rivers eat your heart out.

Ryan Taylor

Tough conundrum, I liked Andy buzzing in "just to press the buzzer"!

Ryan Taylor

COLLEEN in that round for contestant and DC beater?

Trust you to spot a water related incident

Is that due to my unnatural consumption of water during the show or untimed water drinking whilst on? Or something else?

Did Oliver just inhale that water..he didn't seem to swallow!

PLEURON

loved ZETETIC...Oliver has just missed IDOCRASE though for contestant beater

My first countdown event! Is anybody getting a train into Lincoln Central? If so would it be possible to meet up and share a taxi to the venue? (I am poor because Hulme beat me to the £1000 prize) My train arrives at 10:06.

Marc Meakin wrote:Was there cheering when Innis declared that he was 1 away in the last numbers round? (as I was on the phone at the time)

Not cheering, at least not in my case anyway...everyone just gasped (like on the conundrum) at the fact that Chris had been given another bite at the cherry

Ryan Taylor

We had lunch before this game, it was a deciding factor.

Yeah, that was my conversation starter, asking him if he had been in touch with the Honiton Herald recently, to be told that it is "actually the Sidmouth Herald"...boy was there egg on my face.

I was going to mention you Jon Corby and give you a wink down the camera but I couldn't fit it into the opening conversation with Jeff.

I enjoyed this game, it was funny being with Jeff (and Bob DC) the matches before this one discussing how best to disrupt Innis. I am sat next to Brian Selway in the audience for this one and it was an agonising wait as this show had lots of unexpected problems in it. I think it was nearly midday wh...

Ryan Taylor

I was in the audience for this game and I also didn't fully understand why he said it, but I think it was possibly because he declared OUTSOAR^ earlier, perhaps? I didn't notice anything when in the audience although that is not to say that something wasn't cut because I'm not the most attentive per...

Ryan Taylor

I thought DC were on top form today, dont think they missed much did they? Beat me in pretty much every round..maybe its because I only just woke up..or because I am shit.
