Re: Junior Countdowners
I'm 17 and probably do count as "junior" in the countdown world but I much prefer to be seen as a "young adult" instead . I auditioned for countdown when I was 10 but Damian didn't pass me, and so, for you to pass your audition at nearly the same age and win a magnificent eight games, makes you my idol

Re: Junior Countdowners
I've been busy with college commitments and moving house so it has been difficult to just have time to go on the Internet let only the prestigious forum! Also, my Internet connection was dodgy a few weeks ago and so it forced me to pull out of the COGST tourny at the quarter final stage .Matt Coates wrote:where have you been Jason, i havent seen you post anything for ages, and you havent been on apterous

Re: Junior Countdowners
Hi Kai,
I am 14 and became interested in countdown whilst you were on. I'm not as good as you (see my rubbish apterous rating) but I would like to play you. If we get a few more Under 16's we could make a tourny out of it.

Re: Junior Countdowners
Speaking of which, Oliver, thank you for playing Countdown with me!
I thought I was going to beat you in our second game, but you came up with a great numbers solution.
If you haven't appeared on Countdown already, are you going to? With the new host and hostess?
Before I finish this post, I would like to tell you all that the new host of Countdown just might be "a man" according to Kate Horton.

Re: Junior Countdowners
If the new presenter is a male, it makes sense to have a female co-host, doing Carols job. Plus also, I believe Jason would not like it, if the person who ended up doing Carols job was male (I think he said that in another thread).Michael Wallace wrote:Who says there's going to be a hostess?Jason Larsen wrote:If you haven't appeared on Countdown already, are you going to?

Re: Junior Countdowners
What I've been told is that the new co-host of Countdown has already been confirmed and I'm almost sure they will not back down at the last minute.
So, this message is for Oliver. Please be prepared for a big change.

Re: Junior Countdowners
No, Gavin!
There will be a new co-host when Oliver applies to be on Countdown. They will be very good, but no Carol.
I wrote, "a big change" because Oliver has been used to seeing Carol all his life.

Re: Junior Countdowners
I think Craig Beevers should do Carol's job, then quickly run to dictionary corner and find longer words than the contestants and tell them how stupid they are.

I guess the only way to reach out to the antiforumites (Giles, Callum etc.) would be to put an announcement on apterous, but if we get 8 forumites, that wouldn't be needed.
