Owen Carroll

Hey everyone. I've posted this before on welcome but only cause I didn't know how to post my threads but jen told me. I'd like to thank you very much for that Jen! Anyway I'm sure most of you have heard about this thing called inquisitive media. With it we can watch and play along with classic episo...

Owen Carroll

Tom can I just say you were in a way inspiration for me to go onto the show.

Owen Carroll

Sarah's doing ok so far. But I kinda have this issue where I think everyone who wins a game could become an octochamp. Sometimes I am dead wrong but sometimes I shouldn't have been wrong. Like with Philip Aston.

Owen Carroll

You mean like the 30th birthday championship? And if you're the second tallest then who's the tallest? Are you tom Chafer cook? Hi Owen, Yes the idea would probably be like a milestone type event except no games. I’m not Tom Chafer-Cook I’m Tom Hargreaves; appeared in the 30th, did okay! An off the...

Owen Carroll

I know it's not for here again but I dunno another place to put it. Does anyone know if that British gameshow service is working yet. As in they've watched some countdown episodes on it?

Richard Osman is. It's a little known fact that Richard Osman was on countdown and made the final, losing narrowly to a guy called Harry Peters. However this was never broadcast due to some controversy sadly.

The guy on pointless?

Watch for death.
No seriously. Please explain the whole thing
1) Watch to see if anyone notable has died.
2) Feel sad/happy/indifferent
3) Report here who has died.
4) If you predicted said person would die, you gain some points.

There you go.

Oh. Thanks.

Owen Carroll

Is there anybody on here that's participating in it?

Thanks Gavin! Jason did do very very well.

Also, ROMANITE is listed under RUMANITE with a lower case R.
So then romanites is fine?
Yeah, it's fine.

Cool

Owen Carroll

Yes, very good job Toby. Also Jason put in easily his best performance. ROMANITES was allowed and is valid on Apterous, but is listed with a capital R in the dictionary - the free version at least. Also, not that it made any difference as it's invalid anyway, but when Toby offered outlain, it would...

Owen Carroll

How come Philip was on the champion's chair when dougie is higher than him in seeding Maybe it goes by the seeding of the match Philip won, ie seed 2 v seed 7, being higher than the seeding of the match Dougie won, which was either 3 v 6 or 4 v 5. But then that's just me guessing. Fair enough. Thanks

Owen Carroll

I don't think the producer's could be faffed, apparently. I kinda feel made fun of but I know you're not making fun of me. Anyway, they should just stick to the rules or whatever they are. I am genuinely not trying to make fun of you or anyone- it was a comment made by Philip Aston online and that ...

I know it was "only" a 6, but I genuinely think POIPOI might be one of the best spots I've ever seen... This. There's nothing in that selection that even hints at a 6 being there - magnificent spot. I wasn't all that impressed when I saw it in the episode but now I think about it it's rea...

Yeah I got the same in r14 Toby

Owen Carroll

Oh man...Lewis is now the next Dougie Mackay...falling at the last hurdle!! :( :( :( However, if there's one good thing that came out of all this, Sarah did apologise for that and not to mention Lewis, just like Dougie took his defeat in his stride. "One life too many", nah not really, yo...

Owen Carroll

I spotted deltoid as well Toby

. And I agree with Ryan. Hopefully Lewis will become an octochamp tomorrow.

Owen Carroll

Harry potter and the half flood prince. I know that's not funny but just wanted to be part of the fun. Although that's not a fun name.

Owen Carroll

Hmmm six wins for Lewis. Not bad. Course he could have a day tomorrow that doesn't reflect his skills like James riddle. Or Phil peel maybe.

Owen Carroll

Everyone's right. Some people are just going onto the show to have fun or cause they wanna win the series so badly. I'm going for octochampdom or finalist. You all make good points here and Ryan I'm sorry again that I wasn't helping matters last night. But don't take it personally. You seem like a g...

I'm aware when I'm typing this.

Who do you's think would win. I was certain Tom would win.

Owen Carroll

I had a pretty odd one myself the other night where I was arguing with my friend over who would win in a match between Stephen Read and Tom Chafer Cook.

Owen Carroll

It's Ciaran btw...and sorry to spoil you but it was a DISAPPOINTING climax... I got the Crucial Conundrum at the same time Ciaran buzzed in but I had the correct answer. Guess what did Smarty Pie (Sorry but no offence really) Lewis did even though Nick Hewer said "Take your time", buzzed ...

Owen Carroll

I have the impression I've annoyed people

Owen Carroll

Just for the record many people probably didn't think James Kennedy would become an octochamp. But he did. So you never know.

Owen Carroll

Again, not the place to post it but if I get onto the show, unless I'm coming across one of your family or friends or people who've been on this site longer than me, can I please ask you's to root for me? :lol: Harsh. I's will root for you, Owen. Thanks gavin! And what is so funny Elliott???????

And no I didn't know about the tentative schedule thing. Dunno if that's a joke or not.

Owen Carroll

Think Lewis could become an octochamp? Unless his next showing on Monday which the recording came only a day after today's episode on 4 April can prove he improves in the Numbers, I believe so. He is good in his 4L but when it comes to other Number Combinations I can tell he screws up, especially t...

I hope the show won't have too many Fridays off.

Bad luck Jodine. But I thought that might happen. Well done Lewis. Innis are you two related? I think you can all guess why I hate that conundrum Are you related to Lewis Carroll? What about Pete Carroll? Pat Carroll? Not a pat Carroll that was on countdown. you make It sounds like I did a bad thing

Ah ok. Thanks

The CoC is a higher level. Zarte's decent but with limited spaces, he needed to win the final on a non-crucial.

She was very unlucky with BOOTLET. That seemed very plausible indeed.

Yeah it did. You're right toby

Owen Carroll

Well if she carries on like this, then you're right gavin. We could have the first female octochamp since Annie humphries almost two years ago

Owen Carroll

A very impressive debut by Jodine- definitely octo material and would like to see her do well because she isn't a "typical Countdown" contestant. She played brilliantly throughout. Plus most of the DC beaters I had never heard of today- hence a bit of frustration my end :) What do you mea...
