Spoilers for Wednesday 17th February
Dave Armstrong won his second game yesterday, can he overcome the challenge of Natalie Helme today and set up a meeting with Paul Erdunast tomorrow? Will another apterite make a surprise appearance in the audience?

ESSAYED in the SUEDES round. Also, in my opinion, the decision made on SUEDES was "It's not in, but you get the points anyway."
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.

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 17th February
Yes, but in the brochure they give contestants, there is a dictionary guidance section which gives the classes of noun which may be allowed on Countdown even though they are the 'plural' of a mass noun. One of these is food. Another is fabrics. Therefore imo this was definitely the right call, based on their own guidance. The trouble is, another is colours, examples of which they give 'blues' and 'scarlets'. So I wasn't in agreement when Heather's 'taupes' was disallowed in the CoC because taupe is a specific colour: so is scarlet!Johnny Canuck wrote:ESSAYED in the SUEDES round.

You can't say "tricky one this, come back to me" and then later on give it "yeah, a few ways to get this one" Rach!

She's normally does it as a subtle way of mocking the contestants so maybe she was just pointing out how poor she'd been. Self-deprecating.Jon Corby wrote:You can't say "tricky one this, come back to me" and then later on give it "yeah, a few ways to get this one" Rach!
Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 17th February
Hmm, it still does the contestant-mocking then as well, which seems inappropriate in this instance. Should be phrased more directly if she was intending to refer solely to herself.

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 17th February
I agree, that whole justification was ridiculously woolly-sounding. Even in saying "you can have different naps or colours..." I think she realised that you would still just say "of suede" rather than referring to them as suedes. Google Chrome has just squiggly-underlined suedes btw. Mind you, it's also underlined realised, so fuck that. If there was good justification for it being valid (as Paul says), tell us that instead rather than some BS!
