Been getting some dodgy game ads recently. (now is when Jack tells me they're based on cookies...) Interesting. I don't specify exactly which ads appear, but I do have some control over blocking specific things. Feel free to direct message me more details or a screenshot. Neil sends picture of &quo...

Congrats!
If you get to play it will be quite the coup given that you're at best 30th in line for one of 16 places!
Just call me Holly Willoughby

Hilarious! That did pee me off abit!

I'm guessing this is precisely what CD Team were hoping for when they decided to 'share it privately' with the contestants... or "Leaky Latchford & Co", as they should now probably be dubbed!

Coral Heath is also unlucky not to get the nod.

Jack Neal

Note this is really Monday 19th September's episode which was not broadcast on the day. Seeing this episode and watching Rachel Riley doing the twist I can kinda see why someone might have deemed it inappropriate. What is *really* inappropriate though is that all the date references will be out of ...

Looking at the list it seems we have the following number of contestants per series: Series 79: 1 Series 80: 2 Series 81: 0 Series 82: 3 Series 83: 2 Series 84: 3 Series 85: 3 Series 86: 2 Why 0 from series 81? Also, some specific omissions stick out, although it may have been due to availability. ...

Fans are allowed speculate and make "fake" (but, let's face it - probably real ) lists.

Steve Hyde confirmed to me in private the draw is real.

Jack Neal

Good to know there are false draws that exist then as this is not correct :-) Well if that's the case I will publish what I've been given in full... According to my sources this is the draw:- 1. Florence ~vs~ Leo 2. Elliott ~vs~ Dinos 3. Ahmed ~vs~ Eddy 4. Tom ~vs~ Adam 5. Stu ~vs~ James 6. Luke JD...

What's so unusual about contestants being given non-public information in advance? They're trusted not to spoil it. Anyone who has ever attended a Countdown recording, as contestant or +1, has had to keep results private until broadcast. In this case, because sharing it with them was dumb as fuck. ...

Jack Neal

This is Countdown Team's fault for leaking it to the contestants, That was a silly thing to do. If they wanted it secret they should have kept it PROPERLY secret. Yes. I know it contains an Octochamp whose run has yet to air... but it will probably be published here early anyway. You can't put the ...

One anyone care to publish it, or shall I do the honours?
Just do it. Anyone who doesn't want to see it can look away. Obviously depending on the source (if given) it may need to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Yup let's see it!

If we changed it to 13, the top 8 would in theory be more weighted to those who have done more events rather than those who've performed well. As it stands, 1 person has played 13, with a further 4 likely to. Only 1 person who isn't in the current top 8 would be if we'd extended it to 13, and they'...

Why are 2020-22 events capped at 8? The rules as in this thread viewtopic.php?p=165388&hilit=focal#p165388 state that it is capped at 66.6% which this $eason would be 13.

I'm going to hijack this thread to discuss this year's winner of Dave's "Funniest Joke of The Fringe" . Won by Olaf Falafel, it goes "I keep randomly shouting out 'Broccoli' and 'Cauliflower' - I think I might have florets". However, it's a bit of a shit joke isn't it? I mean, i...

What percentage of the food you eat (as a vegan) do you think is imported?, it significantly higher than that of a non-vegan.

Sorry I don't respond to trolls. Though it's good to know that "non-vegans" never use cars or aeroplanes, or anything transported by them :) I never said that we don't, we DO. It was just a figure of speech to make you understand how stupid you sound. More meat is UK reared compared to ve...

It wasn't 'euthanasia' (which like abortion im 100% against in any form). Human life comes before animal welfare and this walrus provided a threat to human life.

Sorry but you assume incorrectly. Animals are treated incredibly cruelly, both during and before slaughter, in this country, and not just in Halal and Kosher. From what I understand (not first hand!) of Kosher slaughter (Shechitah), animals are often treated cruelly before slaughter but the actual ...

So there's been some interesting conversations arising from the proposed trial... I've been having a consider of the feedback, and I hold my hands up.

You could always use max percentage instead of raw points to decide the finalists. For example if the max was 150 and a player scored 90 the percentage would be 60. This would make it fair for everyone. On the surface this sounds like it might be a better system, but IMO it isn't, and it would be q...
