Spoilers For Monday August 10th 2015

Post by James Robinson »

So, we're at the beginning of a brand new week, and after 8 brilliant performances by Stephen Briggs, we're back to Square 1 this week, with a clean bill of health and 2 brand new contestants.

Richard Arnold returns in DC too, for his 3rd spell.

Join Andy for the recap later. ;) :) :D

Not the best of shows with nerves aplenty out there......, and no offence to Andrew, but at times (especially in the numbers), he didn't look like he was even trying.... :roll:

PLANTERS/PURSLANE/SUPERNAL in round 4 and DOUTING in round 8.

3rd Numbers Alt.: ((100 - (8 / 8)) x (5 + 2)) - 5 = 688

I don't think this is fair on Andrew. Everyone who has played Countdown in any form, no matter how good they are, has missed an easy numbers game. And 2 large is one of those picks where it's easy to miss a straightforward solution because you get distracted by the wrong large number.

Judging on today's performance, I don't think Andrew's conqueror,Nathan, is going to be around for much longer either, obviously I could be completely wrong and he could go on to be an Octochamp, but I very much doubt it.

I didn't get 451 either.

You wanna get drunk and challenge me to a spontaneous game in a pub sometime? Let's see how that works out for you.

With debate of this quality, I can't really understand why neither of you have moved into politics. You'd fit right in.
