In one of those special moments today, we have the prelim number and series numbers matching today, not sure what to call that, but it feels enough like a once-a-series-holiday to call it "Repetition Day" or something like that. Regardless, we have a new champion in Hilary White, can she g...

Jordan F

I count 9th, he has 3 wins and 309 points, 5 short of moving ahead of John Bird.

Jordan F

As I learn to post this in its own topic rather than the Thursday spoilers, here we go. Another one for Nathan Steggles yesterday, can he get the hat trick today? Although 3 wins is right around the bubble, with his scores Nathan will likely need the 4th win in order to put himself in the current to...

Jordan F

And NAPPIER in round 3.

Jordan F

And another apterite joins us, I believe Pouvanen is known as Pouva Vee on Apterous.

Jordan F

Nathan Steggles disposed of our own Rob Gibney yesterday with some impressive play in his own right. Can he make his own march towards the finals? Still don't know what to say of Jenny Eclair, so I won't.

I will say that James will have his recap ready later.

Jordan F

Another one for Rob Gibney yesterday, and unless he loses in a Christine Buffrey like way, he should be set for at least the number 5 seed even if he loses, but can he get the 5th win today and further solidify his position? Still with Jenny Eclair, who I'm not sure what to say about her. Certainly ...

Jordan F

Our own Rob Gibney has been doing very well so far, with all 3 wins at least in the 90s. Can he get a 4th today? The good-ish news for him is that as long as he scores at least 9 points today, win or lose he will enter the top 8, but I'm confident he can get at least a couple more wins. Was travelli...

Jordan F

Good effort from Rob, I discovered that he's an apterite as well so his training appears to have come to good use.

Jordan F

....really? They get AMNIOTES yesterday and they miss it today? Also, wasn't it round 1 that had AMNIOTE and round 3 that had AMNIOTES yesterday?

Jordan F

John Bird got his hat trick in strong form again yesterday, and despite only having 3 wins, he's currently occupying the number 8 seed. Can he improve his chances with a 4th win today? Finally saw Anneka Rice yesterday and I'll say better than a lot of guests this season, but probably not one of my ...

Jordan F

How has nobody mentioned besides me that Mr. Galloway is an apterite? Sad times.

Jordan F

As I get my feed back the day after I say I lose it, it appears we have one of our own as well today, by the name of Rob Galloway.

Jordan F

Unfortunately, my video source where I often watch Countdown here in the states is currently down, so these spoilers will probably be a lot more abbreviated and slightly less opinionated until I'm able to have a video source again. Another one for John Bird, but not quite as impressive yesterday com...

Jordan F

John Bird won with a score of 94 yesterday, including an impressive 9. Can he keep it up and get win number two today? I have not seen Anneka Rice over in the corner, but I can surmise that she has no relation to Sir Tim Rice or one of the football greats here in the states, Jerry Rice. Maybe we'll ...

Jordan F

Alison Shipman is one away from not only half octochampdom, but a clear sweep for the ladies this week. Will she do it? Last day for Fiona Armstrong, and while she certainly hasn't been my favorite DC guest ever, she's certainly a lot better than some others. Next week starts another woman that I've...

Jordan F

Alison Shipman pulled it off again yesterday, giving her two wins so far, and with a couple more she could be a contender in the series final. Can she get number 3 today? Fiona is still in the corner, and I'm not exactly sure what we're learning from her this week, but I'm sure it's something. James...

Jordan F

What was Alison's word in Round 9? Couldn't hear it clearly.

Jordan F

It seems like we may be having another ladies week on Countdown, not only with Fiona Armstrong still in the corner, but with our latest champ Alison Shipman, who beat Wendy Gabriel en route to today. Can she make it two today, and will this be very similar to the week Victoria James was on? Join Jam...

Jordan F

Wendy Gabriel won yesterday, however she won with the lowest winning score since the end of Series 65. Can she win more convincingly today? Fiona Armstrong is still getting through her first week of Countdown, and so far...don't love her and don't hate her. We'll see if that changes later on. What w...

Jordan F

It's the end of the week, and hopefully the start of something good for Mick O'Brien after his win yesterday. Can he get his second today? Finally saw Martin Lewis yesterday and....ugh. That is all.

Join Thomas recapping his heart out later.

Jordan F

Raj. C. got another win yesterday in a...what I can best describe as promising but also inconsistent manner, and is going for his third today. Can he pull it off? Today's episode is going to be the first this week I might be able to see live, so there is where I'll finally have my opinions on Martin...

Jordan F

Now that I learned how to count the prelim numbers again, here we go. Yesterday's new champ has a name that is one of the most impressive I've ever seen, and at risk of getting it wrong, I'll just go with Raj. C. Raj. C. won with a fairly impressive 88 yesterday, and is hoping to continue his streak...

Jordan F

It would help if I remembered that Monday was actually a prelim, wouldn't it?

Apologies,I'll try to fix the title and if not, not much I can do until tomorrow.

Jordan F

...I'm back...

It's been awhile with the specials and James having Mondays, but I'm back, providing intros for spoilery madness once again.

Jordan F

Michael Taiwo got another one yesterday, taking him up to two wins. Can he get his third of the week today? Pam Ayres is still rhyming her way in dictionary corner, and...eh...there've been better and there've been worse. That's my thoughts. Join James for a recap later, possibly all in rhyme but pr...

Jordan F

Michael Taiwo is the new champ, scoring a fairly impressive 93 yesterday. Can he get another win today? We've hit the middle of the week with Pam Ayres, and while I was not able to see the actual episode yesterday, I assume there was some more poetry, and anticipate some more today. Susie will proba...

Jordan F

Ben Rollett got another win yesterday, putting two under his belt so far. Can he get the triple dip today? Pam Ayres is still here, and I will give her credit enough that she's better than Vanilla Ice. Somewhere Rob Van Winkle is crying, but I know this to be true. I'm not exactly sure who has the T...

Jordan F

Anthony White won in the battle of the challengers yesterday, getting a fairly impressive 98 for his efforts. Can he make it 2 in a row to end the week on a high for him? It's the end of John Parrott, and I'm going to miss him, seems like a nice guy with a good presence in the corner. Thomas will be...

Jordan F

Much congratulations to Peter Lee for becoming an octochamp yesterday, and as a result we have two new contestants today. Will they become the next Peter Lee, or only the next Christine Buffrey? John Parrott is still here, and hopefully I'll slowly forget about that Kate Hunniford and that Gloria Ci...

Jordan F

Doing this early because I'm heading out pretty early in the morning my time, so won't be able to post. This is a big one people. Our own Peter Lee is on the verge of becoming an octochamp, needing just one more win. Can he get it today? If he loses, he remains at the current number 2 seed. If he wi...

Jordan F

Ouch Ryan, that's a tough way to lose

Tough fought game Peter, hope you get the octochamp title tomorrow.

Jordan F

Our own Peter Lee is on a roll, with 6 wins under the belt and an average of exactly 100 points per game. Just two more until he hits octochamp status, can he get number 7 today? John Parrott is in the corner, and I admit I haven't been able to see yesterday's episode yet, so I'll abstain on comment...

Jordan F

This week so far has belonged to Peter Lee, with 4 wins, against some pretty strong opponents along the way. Can he finish the week with his 5th? There's one more apterous branded hurdle in his way however, and his name is Kieran Bray. How will Peter do in his third game with an apterite so far? It'...

Jordan F

Peter Lee has represented apterous well so far with three strong wins, averaging just under 95 points per game. Can he get the 4th win today? Today's competition is brought to you by this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DD7VIKZnGA For it IS Suddenly Seymour today. Suddenly Niall Seymour, anoth...

Jordan F

Our own Peter Lee has 2 under his belt thus far, can he make it 3 today? He has some difficult tests coming this week, but since I'm not sure which days these apterites come up, I won't mention who yet. Anne Widdecombe is still here and....just...I have no words.Yes you're a politician. Yes you were...

Jordan F

In the battle of the apterites, Peter Lee came out on top yesterday with an impressive score of 101. Can he keep it up today? Anne Widdecombe, from Strictly Come Dancing, is in dictionary corner, to talk about her showing on Strictly Come Dancing, and how she's been able to live her life after Stric...

Jordan F

30 Prelims into the series already, that surprises me. Gone by pretty quickly. Our own Chris Butler is still in the champ's chair after a clash of the apterites yesterday. Will he get his third win today and end the week on that march towards the final? No word if there's another aperite today, if t...

Jordan F

One of our own is back in the champions chair, as Chris Butler won in the battle of the Chrises yesterday. Can he continue? Making his life harder today, just because Damian can...we have another apterite today, Matt Conway. Who will come out on top? Not Gloria Hunniford...I want the stories about K...

Jordan F

I've been fired from the Wednesday spot already? ...this is a tough business.

EDIT: Because James didn't make this joke, I will, will we also learn this episode if it really IS all about the man, 24 hours later.

Jordan F

^...uh oh. Certainly valid according to apterous, and from what I'm looking up it doesn't appear like it's a mass noun. This COULD be a pretty big deal.

Jordan F

Could you have LINESMEN for 8 in the SMILIER round?

Jordan F

It's Valentine's Day, and Victoria James is in love with Countdown right now. 6 wins have all but guaranteed her the number 2 slot, I suppose it is possible she can get number 1 if she averages over 150 in the next two games, but I would say those odds are slim. Gloria Hunniford is back in the corne...

That doesn't rhyme.

But if Nick's been pronouncing her name wrong the entire time? What if the s is silent and "Jame" sounds exactly like "rhyme?" I've thought of these things Ryan, I've thought them out deeply.

Jordan F

It really has been Ladies Week on Countdown, with Nick and Aliraza being the only males in front of the camera this week so far. And appropriately, a woman has won all 4 games, and without meaning to rhyme, her name is Victoria James. She's had some good wins and some not so good wins, but if she wi...

Victoria James is still here, in what was arguably her best performance thus far yesterday, but I still think she probably has a ways to go before getting to an octochamp type level. Can she inch closer today. Kate Humble is still in the Corner...and I think I've decided I don't like her. She seems ...

Jordan F

This week of Countdown so far has been all about the women, with a lady champ on Monday and two more ladies as challengers so far. And of these women, the queen of the hill has been Victoria James. She' had a better win yesterday, but still thus far has been averaging only 78.5 points per game. Will...

After what one might call a Ladies Afternoon on Countdown yesterday, Victoria James came out on top, disposing of Jocelyn in...not the most impressive fashion, but a successful fashion none the less. Can she keep her success going? Kate Humble is still in dictionary corner, and this is my first time...

Jocelyn Menyhart, the math tutor who did not get a perfect score on the numbers, did get the win yesterday with a fairly low score, but with some impressive words. Can she get to number two today?

Neil Hewitt continues to win, he's a low scoring champ but he is winning and has three to his name thus far. Can he get to the half octochamp mark today? Dr. Phil Hammond is still here, and still has yet to show his plums to anybody yet, whether that's a good thing or not depends on the individual v...

While they haven't been particularly high scoring wins, Neil Hewitt does have two wins under his belt so far. Is a third in the works today? Dr. Phil Hammond is still in Dictionary Corner, still attempting to figure out just what his blood pressure actually is. As long as the plums don't make anothe...

In terms of Tuesdays, are we still having Liam do them for now?

If I find work, probably not. But I can fill in the h...

Neil Hewitt won with 81 yesterday, although Rachel got the conundrum solve. Can Nick keep going, and if so, can Rachel be the first ever co-host to solve all 8 conundrums in an octochamp run? If so, Kai Laddiman, eat your heart out. Dr. Phil Hammond is in dictionary corner, and he's already come up ...

Sri Gutta has had two impressive wins thus far, averaging 99 points in his two games. Can he make it a third today? To my delight, and perhaps from others as well, this is Michael Vaughan's last day over in the Corner, maybe he'll use that drinking he talked about yesterday to make himself interesti...

First of all, apologies for not being able to count to 13 yesterday. Apparently I must REALLY like the number 12. Anyway, for today's spoiler, I'm going to attempt to make a valid spoiler intro using every valid word that Sri used in yesterday's show, in order (I'll bold the actual words). Countdown...

To Matt's disappointment, another pretty simple spoiler today. Mark Murphy has been a rather up and down champion so far, but he does have 5 wins to his name. Can he make it a sixth today and make the odds of appearing in the series final that much better? Susie and Michael Vaughan are still in dict...
