It's episode 8888. Hazel has 888 points with a game in hand. Will she join the 1,000 club?

She did it! 1,001 Nights to celebrate for becoming the first female member of an exclusive club and highest-scoring female octochamp!

Now onto the finals in December.

Great octorun.

Not sure why Colin seemed to think getting over 1000 was the big deal rather than getting 1000 or more. There's a few pages on the wiki like that. I might edit them because it's just stupid as it is.

Anyway 6th member of the 1000 club! I remember when 1000 was seen as off limits.

He's probably one of those people who think the millennium began on Jan 1st 2001 and so stayed in not partying on Dec 31st 1999.

Congrats to Hazel btw.

Delighted with Hazel’s win. My husband and I looked forward to all her games and were not disappointed. Even her competitors choosing six small numbers did not defeat her! Good old Cecil helped her out right at the end!

Points scored versus points available.
I thought Countdown experts were familiar with the term 🤔

Seems not! But no, without checking, it definitely isn't. Elliott Mellor dropped something like 27 points in his run.

Shes definitely the top female in the 15 round area and I would say top 5 over all
