I wondered if something went wrong with the filming of this round and they edited it as best they could. Nick asked the player with the longer word to declare first, and nobody seemed to notice that someone had won the round. It was only when the score came up that I was sure what had happened.

And if they did turn against her, it would have been because she set a new record for the number of times a contestant has said "Please". Nerves, I guess, which was a shame because she did seem good.

I think it was her habit of asking for four small and two large rather than the other way round that caused everyone in the studio to turn against her, which ultimately put her off her game.

I think you may be mixing up Countdown with the Tour de France. Or did she take more than the permitted number of puffs on her inhaler?Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Fri Jul 20, 2018 8:32 am There was a cabbage that flew past her left ear at one point, but she wasn't the main focus of the camera at the time.
