Re: Spoilers for Friday 13th January 2023 - CoC XVI QF 2

Busy back-to-back weekends for me as I've got unfinished work in the office to settle (That's the life of an Engineer for you, people do chase you for work while you're not in office, sigh...) so this is coming late. Nice, Dan is wearing his trademark spectacles and his Hawaiian style shirts are bac...

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 12 January 2023 - CoC XVI, QF 1

From 16, down to eight, as we enter into the Quarter-Finals of the Championship of Champions XVI! I forgot to mention this yesterday, but I bet Colin must have had a "fun" time rushing and "teleporting" to the Countdown studio after Steph's Packed Lunch yesterday! :lol: Anyways, ...

Re: Spoilers for Monday 9 January 2023 - CoC XVI, Prelim 6

Wow, spicy backstory to this episode I must say thanks to Fiona and Ahmed's conversations in the Daily Chat, because Rachel mentioned her favourite contestant in the Introduction was someone with a questionable background (I will not mention who to protect all involved) :? . Cue Rachel intermittentl...

Re: Spoilers for Friday 6 January 2023 - CoC XVI, Prelim 5

Posting my thoughts a bit late partly because I was busy on Saturday. End-of-week vibes, TGIF, you name it, and to top off, both the players for this match are in the Daily Chat with a larger than normal crowd, yay! :D Richard has also been such an excellent first guest, that tada! He's been made te...

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 5 January 2023 - CoC XVI, Prelim 4

With today's episodes, the lineup for the remaining Preliminaries are now known (although the contestants seating position may not be correct). Again, how lucky am I to rearrange and slot this episode correctly on the Wiki albeit the contestants positions were incorrect. We have Stu Harkness who now...

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 4 January 2023 - CoC XVI, Prelim 3

Wow, I must be very lucky when I altered the CoC XVI table on Monday after the first episode when the order was clearly wrong, because I happened to put today's match in the right order without knowing it was going to air today! :D So, it's the "Human Dictionary" Ahmed Mohamed, our Series ...
