Re: My Weekly Review Blog

Well let's hope you get plenty more to add to it. Out of interest, who do you support, Bradley? Also I'm keen to hear your take on the 'leaked celebrity nudes' scandal. Do you think you'll be covering that? I support Everton. And I will do when I start doing the weekly reviews again next week. I di...

Perhaps not, but the other five facts are good enough so I'll leave it for now.

That's very understandable. I was exactly the same after I played my 8th game, which was the 5th game of the day. Playing 5 games in one day under studio conditions can take its toll on anyone.

Re: The next Championship of Champions - now back on topic

There WILL be another C of C. Logistics yet to be worked out as we're not that far ahead, but likely on-screen in Jan 2015 for 3 weeks, so just 16 players and definitely excluding 30th birthday participants, for no other reason other than to give different people a chance to play again.

Re: Who Will Win Series 70? (Spoilers Included)

With no intended disrespect to the finalists, I wonder how many great players from last series (specifically the top 4 seeds, plus Zarte, Abdi and Mark Hartnett) are maybe wishing they had left it one more series before applying? Not really. I admit I had some thoughts on whether I should've applie...

Great game. Neil did seem octochamp-worthy but his numbers really let him down and the two he didn't get today were quite do-able, whether you're a devout Countdowner or just a neutral. If he improves his numbers, this and his terrific word knowledge will make him a strong contender in the finals if...

I wonder what Nick's button actually does. We know the conundrum board is turned separately from everything else, but it would seem from this episode that the music is activated separately from the clock. Maybe Nick does one and the gallery does the other? Seems an odd way to do it. I've always ass...
