What a great contest this has been firstly congraulations to Toby on becoming the 5th octo-champ of series 89, his overall score of 830 points averages out at 103.75 a game this puts him as the second seed for now. Take nothing away fron Jonno he had the last laugh by solving the conundrum but gave as good as he got, if he came on a different he would of been in contention for a teapot, Monday welcomes two new contestants to the Countdown studios.........you can join me for the next recap............in the meantime it is bye for now !
