Wow! I've been away and have just caught up with hte finals. Well done Jack. You held your nerve in the semi and then again in the final.

Joyce Phillips

Maybe Mark had had enough of being patronised by Nick Hewer. Any ambition i had to apply for the show has wilted since he arrived.

Joyce Phillips

i watch it every day but never live. can't stand the inane chat, boring guests (with the exception of Dr Phil), origins of words and adverts. Reckon the whole show takes me 20 minutes to watch. I play along but just to get in some practice for Apterous.

Joyce Phillips

A great final. I was rooting for Graeme because I feel I know him from Apterous, but Carl played his part and was gracious in defeat.

Joyce Phillips

I enjoyed today's semi, not just for the great play but for the spirit in which it was played. Yesterday's was uncomfortable to watch so I hope Graeme can inject some of his enthusiasm into the final.

Joyce Phillips

Sorry that Nikki didn't make it to Octochamp but I hope she makes the finals. It would be nice to have two women there for a change. Ccongratulations Anne, though. Good to see a fellow Geordie doing well. (I don't count Dave as he's from Sunderland)

Joyce Phillips

Congratulations to Jayne. Great run.

Joyce Phillips

Two very good contestants today, but both faded a bit as the game went on. Well done Jayne. When Susie said you'd been watching your Countdown, she should have said you'd been playing your Apterous.

Joyce Phillips

So nice to see you on the show Jayne. I was willing you to declare the correct 9 and you did! - but it wouldn't have made any difference as it happens. i too must be brilliant because i manage without a job - but I am a lot older than you!

Joyce Phillips

Mark is one of my favourite contestants ever. He's just so cool and I love his deadpan humour.

Joyce Phillips

Gareth nearly threw it away (nerves probably) but did well to hang on. Good game by both players, I thought.

Joyce Phillips

Well done Graeme. Hard to keep concentrating against such poor opposition.

Joyce Phillips

I think it must be difficult to concentrate game after game, because Graeme missed a couple of easy spots, but he pulled it around big time. Shame about Graham. He'd have beaten most other competitors.

Joyce Phillips

Absolutely first-rate contest today. Just a shame somebody had to lose.

Joyce Phillips

He may have LOOKED a bit like Chris davies, but that's where all resemblance ended!

Joyce Phillips

It's like the old days when you didn't have to be well-nigh infallible to win a few games. I think they're trying to avoid making it the TV spin-off of Apterous.

Joyce Phillips

Nice to see a fellow Geordie doing well.

Joyce Phillips

In fairness to Andy, he was clearly very nervous at first, but played much better later in the game.

Joyce Phillips

That solution was awesome.

Joyce Phillips

I thought Greg got into his stride today. His granny will be proud.
Also... the team in black AND white got a great battling draw against Chelsea yesterday.

Joyce Phillips

I can only echo what has been said. A stupendous run, Eoin. I'm really looking forward to seeing you in the finals against the likes of Scott and Daniel.

Joyce Phillips

After Daniel's performance, I'm not sure that Eoin can be sure of winning the series.

Joyce Phillips

I agree with innis. He wasn't annoying at all, just an ordinary bloke.

Joyce Phillips

Well done Oliver. Fantastic throughout the series.

Joyce Phillips

Well done Oliver. Fantastic throughout the series.

Joyce Phillips

Not surprised that the ever-consistent Nicki caused an upset. She always looks surprised when she wins the points.

Joyce Phillips

I can't see anyone beating Oliver. Fantastic performance today.

Joyce Phillips

Two good and likable contestants. Shame one had to lose. Agree about Dave Spikey. I normally fast-forward DC guests (especially Pam Ayers) but had a listen and he was great.

Joyce Phillips

Anglo Italian on Apterous is called Simon. Daniel plays under his own name - but I haven't seen him on for a while. (funny how coming onto this site makes people pedantic)

Joyce Phillips

If he becomes a teacher, he won't have to worry about the pay.

Joyce Phillips

James, your job sounds so fascinating I'm surprised you can think of anything else.

Joyce Phillips

After a great nine, James let it go rather. A shame, because he was a great contestant, but that takes nothing away from Howard, who did really well.

Joyce Phillips

Congratulations to Chris. I think the adrenalin from yesterday was still working today. Well done Andrew. Two worthy finalists.

Joyce Phillips

Fantastic game! I could almost feel how much Chris wanted to win, and i think it was that extra bit of determination that got him through in the end. Well done Innis too. On any other day, you'd have wone easily.

Joyce Phillips

Jane Moore seems way too pleased with herself. Penny Smith was my favourite in a long time.

Joyce Phillips

Oops. Got my days wrong! That's what too much Apterous does to the brain.

Joyce Phillips

What's happening James? No one got anything to say? I thought the challenger threw it away some silly risks, but that's just my impression. I haven't analysed the score.

Joyce Phillips

and as for choosing less common words, why not? It's what makes the game interesting to watch.

Joyce Phillips

Looked at digital spy for the first - and last - time today. Just ignore it Chris. You never looked smug, even though you were entitled to, given your fantastic performance.

Joyce Phillips

Nice to see you on the Forum Bob? Are you coming back to Apterous?

Joyce Phillips

Well done Chris. You certainly didn't come across as smug. In fact, you seemed to be the only person who had any doubt that you would become and Octochamp.

Joyce Phillips

Thanks for the info James. As for playing Chris, I thought I would improve by playing top-ranked players, but all I learned was how c*** I am.

I don't think we should spoil Charlie's holiday, but...

Joyce Phillips

Well done Chris. Remind me never to play you on Apterous. By the way, is it just me, or is everyone having trouble logging in to Apterous?

Joyce Phillips

James, you could have had a cup of tea with me in Newcastle, just to make your trip worthwhile.

Joyce Phillips

My impression is that Rachel is gaining in confidence and is getting most - if not all - of the possible solutions. She exudes a lot of charm and doesn't cackle in the background, which Carol was prone to do.

Joyce Phillips

Are we counting guests? Dr Phil can be hilarious, but they must have told him to keep it clean, which has made him less funny. I also remeber a very camp guy (years ago) whose double entendres (something about the rugby team being right behind him) shocked my in-laws so much that they never watched ...

Joyce Phillips

This is my first post. I'm a huge Countdown fan, and of course Richard is irreplaceable, but Jeff is by far the best of the new presenters. He seems genuinely interested in the game, the guests and the contestants. Rachel looks fabulous and I'm warming to her personality, but her voice can be gratin...
