Spoilers For Monday January 25th 2016

Post by James Robinson »

So, we've now finished the Champion of Champions festivities for probably another 3 years minimum, but luckily with COLIN this weekend, the level of skill will hopefully be maintained there.

But, in the meantime on screen, it's time for Series 74 to begin. ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-)

It seemed like 6 weeks ago when we saw Tim Down win his first show, and it was actually. :P So, now it's his first game in the champions' chair. Will he be the first octochamp of 2016, possibly........ :? :?:

Journalist and newsreader Nicholas Owen makes his first appearance in DC since Series 62 six years ago this week.

Join Andy for the recap later. ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-)

UNSPARED or UNDRAPES in the PANDERS round, Champion Nick looks vulnerable, I would be amazed if he ends up an Octuchamp.

Me too, especially as he lost his first game.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

LOL I meant Tim of course, but my Octuchamp comment still stands.

I think the second 4-large pick was a mistake as he had a decent lead at the time. It very nearly cost him.

I'll bet Hassan Mumin either enjoyed today's conundrum scramble or was seriously freaked out by it.

Got it in one, Zarte, the Touchy Words dictionary has my vocabulary damaged beyond repair (as regards Countdown) on the plus side I'm still the number 1 Touchy Words player!

I disagree. I was always backing myself on 4-large and adding 10 points to my lead at that stage, which nearly happened, would have made it difficult for Nick to come back from. I was very nervous for that game, the first one after a 6-week break between recordings in which I'd built up pressure on myself, hence the freeze when trying to remember my solution (which was essentially the same as Rachel's).
