So we have a new Tuesday recapper appointed. Welcome to the recap team Jen :D The only question now is, who is going to clear up the mess that is the 2 month backlog of Tuesday recaps. :roll: Well, there are still 4 weeks of shows on 4OD, so that would get a few at least, although I would hope that...

These finals have six people that are worth cheering for but not the other two. One is only there due to blatant cheating which is especially disgusting and the other is only there because of a pathetic and terrible decision by Dictionary Corner. The fact is there should be two other much more wort...

Countdown recap for Tuesday 9 December 2014. C1: Champion Jacky Pinkney (1 win, 74 points.) A retired rescue cattery manager, originally from the Kent (big up the Kent massive 8-) ), now living on the Isle of Wight. Jen's put 'Isle of Wight' cos she refuses to acknowledge the existence of the Isle ...

Countdown recap for Tuesday 9 December 2014. It's December. It's cold, dark and miserable. The shops are full of angry, desperate shoppers and annoying bellends are filling Aptochat with the lyrics to 'Do They Know It's Christmas' ( :? ). You think it can't get any worse. Then you find out that C4C...

Jennifer Steadman

Yeah, I assumed he was an Apterite when he got GREENMAIL. The champion is holding her own though, she did well to get back to within tiebreak distance after going 28 behind (although not any more...).

Jennifer Steadman

Callum said it's fine, so looks like it's all mine now

Jennifer Steadman

Do we not have a Tuesday recapper at the moment?

If someone tells me what the whole recap fandango requires I think I'd like to have a crack at it please.

+1. The Friday evening's the best bit.

Cracking octorun and enjoyable to watch throughout, congrats Antoinette! :D Really enjoyed this series when I've been able to watch - good mix of strong Apterites and strong non-Apterites, should make finals very interesting. Only problem is, there are too many people I like in it and only one perso...

These comments only reflect a problem society at large has rather than this place being inherently sexist. Not sure why it would be a bad idea to address wider problems within a smaller group, unless you've got a wand we can wave and magically make the entirety of society recant of its ways. If the...

Jennifer Steadman

I was trying to make a somewhat humorous reference to her slightly strange clothing choices that day that doesn't mean it's cool to just chuck out random comments to make contestants feel self-conscious or bad about how they look. There's already enough pressure in the media and across society for ...

Jennifer Steadman

As far as I can remember, the only contestants whose appearances (be it hairstyles, face or clothes) are ever criticised on here are female. (Think the last big one was Rhys's astonishingly patronising and rude contributions here - he's redacted the comments themselves but the good quoting members o...

Congrats, Antoinette - you came across brilliantly, a rare contestant to whom my reaction is "They'd be good fun on a night out"

Hoping to see more wins!

(Also, regarding the conundrum - what Gevin/Graeme said.)

Looking forward to seeing how people find more ways to excuse or justify this as "only" trolling or a hilarious joke. LOL, stalking and attacking women!!!

Round 14 is probably the best contestant numbers solve I've seen on TV. Amazing. #teamgeorge

Jonny posted some comments on Apterous that he wanted to be posted on his behalf on the forum: "I’d just like to say that I feel no “sense of injustice” in my defeat, that game was there for the taking and I would have put myself in a much better position to win if I hadn’t blanked a round, or ...

It's been a while, but I finally have a contribution for this thread that isn't just a :D to one of Ben's posts!

Have you received ours (£20)? Yes Adam, received OK. There are now 7 places remaining. For the record, people who've expressed an interest but not paid (unless I've screwed up) are: Dan McColm, Jen Steadman, Ian Volante, Callum Todd, Paul Worsley, David Barnard. I'd like to go, but non-Megabus ways...

I'd prefer that they scrapped numbers rounds altogether. And conundrums.

Which woman do you feel has done enough to earn a place in an ALL TIME top 8? Which of the supreme champions or grand slam winners do you push aside to accommodate them? Only 5 times has a woman been #1 seed. Only 5 times has a woman won their series. Only once has a woman won the CoC. And those 11...

Really excited about the series finals already after a second brilliant octorun in as many weeks - it's going to be super-competitive with Tricia and Mark hopefully going to be joined by Paul Worsley and Dan McColm.

Not the best, but has the ratings already calculated. Hope that helps.

Interested, but probably underfunded by November. We shall see.

Surprised no-one's mentioned Rose Boyle yet. She took the eventual series winner to a crucial in the semi final, got 11 maxes in doing so, overcame a 24-point deficit in her QF, and was an octochamp prior to all that. Plus she's a demographic breaker although, quite frankly, that's barely relevant w...

The studio considers #6 to be illegal. I did this on both days of my octorun before each game with a few stems and some words I struggle to spell (along with motivational advice such as BREATHE, IT'S ONLY A GAME OF COUNTDOWN). On the first day no-one said anything but on the second, the opponent in ...

Lol, super bad time to forget to do my transfers. The third-placed playoff has fucked up virtually all my fantasy world cup involvements because I didn't think it counted/forgot about it.

Well done Mark anyway.

Jennifer Steadman

Yep, obviously the following things are totally average: - The reigning champions, who in addition to winning the World Cup in 2010 had also won the last 2 European Championships, going out in the group stages of the competition (#PrayForTikiTaka) and losing 5 (FIVE) 1 to the team they beat in the l...

Greatest thread of all time. Shut down the forum now Charlie, it's only downhill from here.

I'm reliably informed that the Maccy D's one is a bit shit this year (100m for 23 players?!). Are people that bothered about playing the McDonald's fantasy football or would people prefer to do the Sun/Mirror ones? For those who don't check Apterous: Robin McKay's already set up a league on the Mirr...

:D Brilliant. This thread never fails to entertain. I also dreamt about Apterites last night. For some reason I was in Cardiff, wandering around the city at night with Lauren Hamer, and at about 11pm we walked past a small non-league stadium. Thousands of people were streaming out of it clutching pl...

Anyone fancy doing a World Cup fantasy football league? I was looking around and found a few places doing one so I didn't know which one people would be keen on.

Agree with Ian regarding Poland, the 'choreography' as it were was a cheap and contrived attempt to get viewer votes which clearly worked (I can only assume Europe's voting population is solely comprised of sex starved old men/virginal 14 year olds who last saw tits when they were breastfed).

Well then let's debate. True or false - tall people should get paid more because they have to spend more to live normal lives, on things such as food, water bills for washing, custom made freaky clown shoes, etc. False.
