Anyone else feel a bit for Lisa there, I thought her letters were quite competent with some decent spots like Neurons, yet had bad luck on Firelog. Her numbers did not appear to be poor, and think studio pressure affected her. On another day against a different player, she would not have scored tha...

Thanks james

Sorry if I seemed pushy earlier

Hopefully some time today. I know it must be a pain to be 6 months behind, but feel for me a little bit, I'm a busy, busy man....

Sorry. And thanks

When are the recaps coming back??????????

Never seen a quicker one.

You can come back after 5 years. Zarte did.

Owen Carroll

Being a long time countdown fan really pays off when you beat the contestants to the conundrum.

Owen Carroll

Well possibly, but I think what RR said at the end was adequate enough given that there's not much special about celebrating the 36th, though not sure whether you caught it, but the continuity announcer made a reference to it beforehand. What was the reference? She just stated about the anniversary...

On Susie's 25 anniversary, Colin showed a clip of Susie's first episode. I hoped that today they'd show when Richard Whiteley said "As the countdown to a brand new channel ends, a brand new countdown begins" Well possibly, but I think what RR said at the end was adequate enough given that...

Sorry dude -- couldn't get access to the subtitles file today, which is usually how I've been transcribing them. Are there subtitles for this episode on 4oD for you?

What was Paul's trick today?

Owen Carroll

What was Paul Zenon's trick today. In a hotel which doesn't have channel 4 on the tv for some reason. And can't watch it on channel4's website. His trick involved drawing an outline of his right hand on a piece of black paper, then asked Rachel to pick a finger (She chose the pinky). Susie then dre...

Owen Carroll

I don't think she was terrible or anything, but I think she'd need to use that game as a starting point to improve upon. Fair enough. I did think she missed an easy enough to spot word or two but I think she's definitely capable of octochampdom. I agree with Gavin here, plus we have our new forum c...

I thought 49 was really harsh on Dover too, didn't do too much wrong.
AUDITION was the surprising beater in R1, MAEGBOT towards the end.

Do you know if you can have megabot?

Owen Carroll

A very worthy octochamp and number 1 seed Martin. Haven't seen the finals so don't know if it stays that way.

Owen Carroll

And having patience is hard when you've been waiting for something for almost two years.

I meant to say Jodine's off the leaderboard on the countdown wiki as of today.

How did you know he was going to be on?

It said so on the countdown wiki.

Owen Carroll

Good play from Martin today.

Owen Carroll

Like Zarte's first ever game. We needed a nine after those other selections. And I'm glad it's common enough for me to spot it on countdown

Owen Carroll

Not great selections so far. Anyone else agree?

Owen Carroll

This really hasn't been used in 10 years?

I'll be really surprised (and disappointed) if mike doesn't make the 800 club After today, I honestly don't think he's that likely to anymore -- he'd need his highest score so far (115) to qualify. Still doable by all means if he gets a niner, though, and he's also probably going to yet again make ...

Owen Carroll

I'll be really surprised (and disappointed) if mike doesn't make the 800 club

Owen Carroll

He is scoring well and hopefully may get past the 800 mark, which would be nice to see- he can still play competently too even when filming 5 shows in 1 day, with still 1 more to go in the day. He is consistent in both fields, though if he were to make the finals, then I would expect his numbers to...

Sorry to see you go Noel but I understand. I loved seeing you on tv and I can't wait to see you in the coc!

Owen Carroll

Another good play from mike. Octochampdom doesn't sound out of the question with him. Or at least a spot in the finals.

Owen Carroll

Anyone notice that the round 2 selections were the same ones in round 1 of Zarte's semi final?

Owen Carroll

Can't wait to see it in January! Hope everyone's having fun working on it and participating in it!

I was happy to beat DC with laterised

Congrats Robin. And you got your conundrum! Well done mate!

7 wins for Robin. Will we have a fourth octochamp or a third only seven time winner

What do you get if you win a special, anyway? Just bragging rights? Back in Richard whiteley's time, they gave vouchers. Dunno if they still do.

Wow Robin is really becoming the moose here. Not sure if I've already said that. Also, Jodine was taken off the leaderboard yesterday. Meant to say that yesterday. And today its bye bye Bryan.
