Re: Spoilers For Wednesday October 21st 2009
Brian is dangerously close to being disqualified from taking any further part in the series. Not sure what the exact outcome will be as it's a first, and i am pressing for a complete disqualification, but anyone repeating his publicity stunt who qualifies for the finals, will most definitely be bar...

Re: Should singing be banned from countdown
I feel LG as a whole package is 90% of the problem. The fact that she also performs opera smugly and for...so....cocking....long... is just the straw etc. But don't ban singing altogether.
