Word on the street at CoEdi2 (which took place only a week or two prior to filming of the finals) was that the way the seedings were panning out, Jen was likely to play Callum and that he had improved a hell of a lot since filming his heats. Jen meanwhile did seem to be suffering from a crisis of co...

Just as an aside - the OTWITDUET conundrum in the Anne v Graham game must have been one of Mike's conundrums that were for the games I was going to be involved in. Certainly wasn't one of mine.

Funny you should say that, Ed Sheeran actually counts Nizlopi (as well as Damian Rice) as one of his main musical influences.

Richard Priest

Heard this off Mike B at CoEdi this weekend. Sad news

Richard Priest

Has GOALSIDE made the OED yet?

Richard Priest

Well done Mark, great performance.

Richard Priest

I remember APOLUNES being controversially allowed a few years ago.

Well done Jen.

Richard Priest

Well done Zarte

Richard Priest

I have to say I did think that was all a bit patronising towards Eileen at the end. The subtext was definitely "Well done for doing so well despite being so old at 75! Normally people have completely lost their marbles by the time they're 75, so good on you for still having some brain function...

Factoid: this is the first heat-final rematch in nearly three years.

I wonder when the last time was that 2 women have faced off in the heats then met again in the finals? If it's ever happened that is.Can't think it has ATM.

Richard Priest

Anyone living anywhere between Stoke-on-Trent and Huddersfield need a lift?

Richard Priest

The list of conundra is already compiled.Just hope not too many of them come up on the show between now and November....

Richard Priest

In hopefully.

Richard Priest

I thought my TRULYANAL scramble from CoEdi was better

Richard Priest

Alex Horne is on the Matt Lucas Awards as I write....

Richard Priest

Dee Voce, 5-time winner in series 41, appeared today and shared £17,000 with 3 others by taming The Beast.

Richard Priest

Unlucky Phil must have been gutting to lose that one.Thought you were a great sport at the end.

Richard Priest

Congratulations

Richard Priest

Liked the knuckle bump at the end.Different

Richard Priest

3rd numbers alt - (50 - (3-2)) x (9 + 5)

Richard Priest

YAUPON as an equaller in round 13.

Richard Priest

I thought it was quite funny to hear ORGASM from a girl so polite and inoffensive as Heather

Great game, my money was on David to win the series, but very well done Heather. Should be a great final can't wait

Richard Priest

Great game, very enjoyable viewing. Didn't expect Rose to pull that one out of the bag. Her numbers ability is a real weapon when it's not a straightforward target.

Should be an interesting one against Paul....

Richard Priest

Very sad news about her apparent suicide following the hoax call from 2 Aussie DJs pretending to be the Queen and Prince Philip.

According to the BBC site she leaves 2 kids. I wonder if she was any relation to former Countdown great Allan and his bro Richard?

Richard Priest

UNTRACED also in rd 9.

Well done David, great run.

Richard Priest

My parents scrimped and saved to put me through private education. The downside of this was that the only car they could afford (when they could even afford one) was a Robin Reliant. Imagine the humiliation when I was dropped off in the morning amongst the offspring of doctors, lawyers and accountan...

Well done Heather, good luck for the finals.

I stopped putting salt on food after a family meal when I was 14 because my older brother bollocked my dad for putting it on, telling him it was bad for him, much to my Dad's disgust.

Richard Priest

This programme brought back memories for me of when the same conundrum came up years ago, when I was watching with my mum and was convinced the answer was CLITORIS, and she told me not to be so rude....

Richard Priest

IMMATURE as a beater, can't remember the round.

Richard Priest

Missing tomorrow's show as I'm on holiday.Hoping to see Chris become an octochamp...

Richard Priest

AVOIDANT as a DC beater in round 1

WIRETAPS as another beater in round 13.

Well done to Suzi for making octochamp, thought she'd butter-fingered it after the last numbers. Liked the triumphant waving of arms that she seemed to be doing as the end credits rolled.

Richard Priest

MOISTURE was there.

Richard Priest

Glad Suzi will be in the finals, it has to be said that her last couple of opponents haven't been much good but she does come up with some great spots and conundrums.

Richard Priest

TUGRIK as a DC beater can't remember the round.

Richard Priest

SOLITUDE as an equaller in the DELTOIDS round.

Richard Priest

BANSURI in the round where DC came up with BRAINS.

Richard Priest

Who (or what) is this Bettany of Hilary's that Nick keeps referring to? I heard him mention that she had a cat but I'm sure he said she was called Ella.

Richard Priest

Not going due to practicalities and expense of getting there, but hope everyone has a good time.

Richard Priest

A good adventure for Tintin

Richard Priest

STOPPLED in round 13

Richard Priest

He was a comedy writer IIRC? And also did some editing for a publishing company?

If the main page data is correct ("Birthdays: Congratulations to: George Jenkins (84), Richard Priest (42)")
George is exactly double Richards age!

I fancied being a nurse in my teens then had ambitions of becoming a doctor until I realised I was nowhere near good enough at science. Then thought about teaching music until I decided I didn't want to end up like my total prat of a 6th form music teacher. Then did a degree in law thinking it would...

I'm in.Will be in serious need of some enjoyment the day after my post-grad diploma course finishes

Well done Chris, hoping to see you clock a few more up now

Richard Priest

on who wants to be a millionaire or some other quiz, someone turned out to be a wife-beater or similar Nah, it was Red Or Black not WWTBAM. And he actually raped kittens.

Richard Priest

Good solid performance today, seems to be getting better with each game.

Richard Priest

Definitely noticed a difference today, Nick settling in and clearly more comfortable with everything.

Well done Jack.
