I believe our own Julia Hayward will be the challenger today, if I read her post correctly.

Jordan F

We end the week with two new contestants, due to Tricia Pay becoming an octochamp. Who will win, and can they become the next octochamp?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

A possible big day is upon us. Tricia Pay has a chance today of becoming the first octochamp of the series. There's only one obstacle in her way today, but it could be a tough one. Apterite Dave Nicholson gets his chance to try to start his own long run today. Luckily Tricia will probably make the f...

Jordan F

Tricia Pay is up to 6 wins, based on past recent series there's a decent chance it will be good enough for the finals, even if she loses today, but a 7th wiin would be better for her in that regard. Can she get that 7th today?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Tricia Pay has arguably been the strongest contestant of the series thus far, and she's backed it up with 5 solid wins. Based on the last few series, she could probably use at least a 6th to get into the finals. Can she get it today?

To Graeme's: In the digital age, why not type them? In exchange, perhaps you alter the time? Allow it. Definitions aren't needed, and since you can't prove it, you can't disprove it either. Use music as a guide. If the cue was still playing, allow a guess. If not, then don't. You could also use a pr...

13. The letters TIFFDUCLT appear on the letters board. The host says after the time is up, "Difficult selection, this one." C1 declares a written down 4 of CULT. C2 declares 9 not written down and says DIFFICULT. C1 complains that by the host saying the word, it gave C2 an unfair advantag...

Jordan F

A few others I thought of. Not sure how many are relevant, but potential interesting situations. 11. A selection comes up that features what appears to be a W. C1 declares a correct 7, but C2 declares an invalid 8 that features an M. It is later revealed that the W is actually an M that the co-host ...

You might be familiar with You Are The Ref . It has pretty pictures and is about football. In this version there are no pictures, but on the plus side it's about Countdown not football. If I'd thought of this three years ago I could have called the thread "You Are The Jeff". But I didn't ...

Jordan F

What name does Tricia go under on apterous? I don't see any Tricia Pay's on the actual site.

Jordan F

Tricia Pay has been a strong competitor so far in two wins. Is a third in the cards to end the week?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

We discussed Sean's point in chat today since Giles spotted it too, and it came up that rigatoni may already be plural.

Jordan F

A new champion has emerged in Tricia Pay. She beat a strong competitor yesterday, can she take that strength into another win today?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Jason Turner got the highest score of the series so far yesterday en route to win number 2. Can he get a 3rd today?

Join Andy for the recap later.

Apterite Jason Turner impressed with a win yesterday. Can he get another?

James Robinson wrote:Hmmm, how weird. No spoiler thread for today's show

Oh well, I'll start it off then. Will James Penny be a hat-trick winner today

Find out with Anthony later.

Sorry about that, was traveling yesterday.

Jordan F

Another new champion is here in James Penny, who also has the highest score of the series thus far in 113. Can he get another?

Speaking of another, join James for another Robbo recap later.

Jordan F

We have a new Lord. I mean champion. Damen Bramwell defeated our own Ian Linton yesterday. Can this apparent Lord get some additional success too?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Apterite Ian Linton got a second win yesterday, along with the first century of the series. Can he get a third today?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

This is actually the last prelim of the week. I assume because of horses but you never know. What I do know is that Tim Gregory is on 2 wins, and is aiming for his 3rd today to take into next week. Can he do it?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Tim Gregory is our new champion. Is win number 2 in the cards for him? He does have the highest score of the series thus far at 79, so maybe we can finally get a score in the 80s or higher.

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

Rob Jennings set a record yesterday, winning with the lowest ever winning score on Countdown in the 15 round era, just 41 points. Nevertheless, he has two wins, will he get a third today to wrap up the week?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

Rob Jennings is our newest Countdown champion. Can he get a second win and be the first person to win more than one game within Series 71?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

We have a new champion. Her name is Sue Melling. Can she get win number 2?

Join James for his first recap of the series later.

Jordan F

My first spoiler thread of the new series sees James Wall on 4 wins and trying to make a solid case to be the first finalist already of the series. He'll probably need at least a 5th to be in consideration. Can he do it though?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

Not the most surprising outcome, but really glad to see Mark win it all. Definitely the most deserving winner of the bunch I felt, and was the most consistently solid of the 8, so very well done to him, glad to see someone succeed in such a big way after a 15 year gap between appearances. Comiserati...

Jordan F

We have one finalist confirmed in Mark Murray. Now we need to get another. To do this, we have to do our semi-final between the number 2 seed, Samir Pilica, and the number 3 seed, Andy Naylor. The winner will face Mark for the trophy tomorrow. Let's see what happens.

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Interesting that Priscilla got two votes. Can't tell if they're gags or not, but I feel, despite her definitely being a decent player, I feel to get through Samir, and potentially Andy N. and Mark would be a big ask, and would be curious to know the thought process of picking her. Again, I know she ...

Jordan F

MENTORED in round 13.

Jordan F

We'll pretend I got the rest of the prelim numbers right this week.

Anyway, this is the least prelim of the series, before the first quarterfinal tomorrow. James Wall has two wins, can he get a third and carry his wins into series 71?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

We have a new champion today in James Wall. He at this point can only further help himself for series 71, but we'll see if he can do just that with win number 2 today.

Join another James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Interesting that Roy just sort of imploded today with invalid word selections and forgetting to write stuff down. Not sure what happened, was it the first taping of the session I wonder? Shame for him, got pretty close to the finals and made a challenge towards the end, but not quite. Andy Gardner n...

Jordan F

With Roy Taylor's loss today, we have the 8 finalists set. It's an interesting field, with a fairly clear favorite, two octochamps right behind him, and a lot of six timers. Match-ups are as follows: June 13th: #1 Mark Murray vs #8 Andy Gardner June 16th: #2 Samir Pilica vs #7 Priscilla Munday June ...

Jordan F

Today is one of the more crucial prelims of the series. Roy Taylor is going for win number 6 today. If he gets it, there is a solid chance he will usurp Andy Gardner for a place in the finals, though not guaranteed. We'll see what happens.

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

This is the last episode of the week. Not exactly sure why, probably due to horses. Nevertheless, Roy Taylor's on 3 wins in his quest to be the last finalist of the series. Can he continue this quest with a 4th win? We also have a new guest today, Chris Packham. He's a Chris, and he packs ham for lu...

Jordan F

Roy Taylor won again, and now is the only person that can possibly steal a finals spot from Andy Gardner. But first, he'd need a third win. Can he get it?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Are you allowed to have UNINSURE as compared to UNINSURED?

Jordan F

We're definitely getting in crunch time of the series. Only two potential people can claim the last finals spot of the series. It'll either be Andy Gardner, or the winner of today's game. The new champ is Roy Taylor. Can he get another win under his belt?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

Well done to Samir for becoming an octochamp, I'm glad he got into 800 club after all despite the shaky Monday game. Could be a big challenge to Mark in the finals, especially if Samir got to practice his numbers between his taping and the finals.

Jordan F

For the first time in awhile, a coronation is upon us. Samir Pilica is on the verge of being the third octochamp from this series. A win and at least 89 points is what Samir needs to be number 2, otherwise he will stay in his current third position. What will happen? Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

Samir Pilica got his sixth win, and also clinched a spot in the finals yesterday. He can move up to a clear number 3 seed today with a win, and he'll probably get there anyway. Can he be only the third person this year to get a 7th win?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Samir Pilica got his 5th win yesterday. He will almost certainly enter the current top 8 today, just needing 39 points to surpass Cliff Lee, and if he wins, it will probably guarantee him a place in the finals. Can he do it?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Samir Pilica is up to 4 wins. A 5th today would get him pretty close to a locked finals spot, but no guarantees. Can he do it?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

Ending this week (on a Friday for once), Samir Pilica is on two wins and showing himself to be another potential tough competitor for the finals. Can he end the week on a third won?

Join Anthony for the recap later.

Jordan F

We have a new champ, our own Samir Pilica. Can he get another one today?

Join James for the recap later.

Jordan F

Well done to Samir, solid start and we'll see how he goes.

Shame for Sean, I think he would have won had he got the 9, so close game, and we'll see him again in the finals.

Jordan F

Sean Fletcher's at win number 6. If he can score at least 47 points today, he will also definitely be in the finals. Can he do it? I know apterite Samir Pilica is supposed to be coming soon, and for some reason I think it could be today (he mentioned a date to me but I only have a vague recollection...

Jordan F

After a close one yesterday, Sean Fletcher is on 5 wins. Another win will give him a decent chance of qualifying for the finals coming up soon, although he will make the top 8 regardless today barring total implosion. Can he do it?

Join Callum for the recap later.

Jordan F

Another abridged week is coming to a close here. And at the end of this short visit to Salford, we see that Sean Fletcher is on 3 wins. He's going to need at least two more to even potentially qualify for the finals, so let's see if he can go in the right direction with a fourth win. Can he do it? J...

In what is a quick week by Countdown standards, we have a new champion by the name of Sean Fletcher. Can he get a second win to wrap up the week?

I know it's a series 9 topic but there hadn't been one on today's show. Today, we had I believe the first contestant on Only Connect who was totally blind, the girl from the record collectors.

I think Neil has clinched, in fact.

Jordan F

Stuart seemed to pick up towards the end, probably could have won a couple in his own right.

Jordan F

Does ABHORENT need a double letter somewhere?

Jordan F

Neil Green had arguably his most impressive win yesterday, can he get a 6th? If he wins, there's a decent chance he can make the finals, as he'd only need 125 points in two games to surpass Priscilla Munday, who has already clinched. Join...Anthony again for the recap later? Not sure on the who thou...
