Well done Ed, great stuff.

Really looking forward to the big final showdown tomorrow between the two big guns.

Jojo Apollo

Well done Ed, another fine performance.

Jojo Apollo

Very well played, Adam, excellent standard as ever.

Jojo Apollo

Well done on becoming an Octochamp, Tom.

Jojo Apollo

Hopefully, Tom can become an Octochamp tomorrow.

Then you have Eggheads Daphne Fowler, who appears as a "sweet old granny" but is one of the most ruthless quiz competitors ever, she shows no mercy and rightly so. I agree with the sentiment, but how do you show mercy on Eggheads? Well eg. if there's a youngster/student she feels sorry fo...

Jojo Apollo

Also regarding the age issue, never ever underestimate the older generation. I can remember years ago watching one elderly lady on the old nine format, foolishly thinking to myself that she would be a soft touch for her opponent, what happens, bang! First two rounds she comes out with two nines, one...

Jojo Apollo

I thought SUNWEAR was a beater, seems not.

Jojo Apollo

:( But while theres no way someone as good as you would ever lose to a 60+ year old woman who's only practice comes from watching on TV, you could have just declared the same as her on a few rounds when you were way ahead. That would have been the nice thing to do (thats what Keith would have done)...

Jojo Apollo

OPTICALS from round 2 seems to be invaild on apterous.

Yeah.

Good game that.

Jojo Apollo

Well done on becoming an octochamp, Andy. A great set of games there.

Jojo Apollo

Jojo Apollo

Great spirited game, well done both.

Jojo Apollo

Funny ending there.

Jojo Apollo

Yikes! Very unlucky there.

Jojo Apollo

A simply superb Octo run, well done Ed

The quarters are shaping up nicely with Ed and Adam.

Good to see Martin Lewis as guest again, don't suppose he would have been invited, back in old Carol's days.

A million litres

Heh I guessed galimeter too.

Jojo Apollo

Nice fun show today, good stuff.

Would have been good to have seen Ed's face after Rachel's comment during the first round.

Jojo Apollo

Well played, Ed. Great ton debut and class shown to praise Dave.

Jojo Apollo

Currently 5/2 second favourite behind Ben Shepherd at Evens.

Yes, good talent that, hopefully we will see another animal tomorrow.

Jojo Apollo

Well done on becoming an octochamp, Adam, 8 wins, 8 centuries.

Jojo Apollo

There seems to be a bug in my current ongoing game with Craig Mason (we have decided to resume at a later time because of the current lag) with the first numbers round, it states it can't be got spot on. But if you do: 7+5 = 12 12x75 = 900 2x3 = 6 900-7-6 = 887 the exact target. (target: 887, number...

Jojo Apollo

Another great performance, Adam.

Another great week's stint with the guvnor Tim Vine.

Jojo Apollo

Well played, Adam. Good solid debut.

Jojo Apollo

According to the folks at Bother's Bar who've been to recordings , DoND is expected to extend to an even more drawn out 60-minute slot daily in 2011, which could mean that Countdown is rescheduled either earlier or later depending on how it's arranged. If it happens, it will be interesting to see w...

Jojo Apollo

Did Jack ever face a crucial conundrum :?: if he never did, has this ever happened before, and is this the highest ever 11 game total? I'm pretty sure Julian Fell, Conor Travers and Craig Beevers didn't have to face a crucial in their series (both the first 2 did in CoC's). Julian Fell's 11 game sc...

Jojo Apollo

Great spirited final, lads, well played. Congrats to Jack, you now take your place amongst the Countdown greats.

Well done to the Countdown team for another splendid series.

Jojo Apollo

Good game, lads, well played.

Really looking forward to the big showdown tomorrow, the two big gunslingers finally meet.

Jojo Apollo

Excellent game, lads. Well played. 8-) Congrats on making the final, Jack, great numbers game there. Well done on making the semis, Marcus, when Jeff said you won the toss, I thought you would have picked the option of the two numbers games/rounds? Jeff always says that the person sitting in the ch...

Jojo Apollo

Well played, lads, very good game, best of the quarters.

I thought Marcus would win, if he had control of the two numbers games and vice-versa for Scott. Heh now I understand that quip about "who would spot EYESORE?" A while back

I before E for GRIEVOUS.

Great stuff, Eoin

The first two quarters were relatively easy to call, the next two are tricky.

Jojo Apollo

Phil Taylor is now joint second favourite (with Graeme McDowell at around 11/2) with the bookies (Tony McCoy is the big favourite at evens) and his odds seem to be getting shorter every day.

Jojo Apollo

Great stuff from Rachel on that first numbers round.

Jojo Apollo

CHOIRMEN in one of the rounds I think.

Jojo Apollo

Nice one, Marcus. Congrats on becoming an octochamp.

Jojo Apollo

Good ton, Marcus. A nice Ceefax start there.

Jojo Apollo

Well played, lads, enjoyable game to watch.

Ben Hunter wrote:Watching Marcus puts me at ease. Great contestant.

Heh I know what you mean, Marcus has a very relaxed casual steady manner about him.

p.s Why do Jeff etc keep saying Bonfire Night, I always thought it was better known as Guy Fawkes Night? Maybe Susie can look into it.

Jojo Apollo

Happy 28th birthday

Good ton Marcus

Jojo Apollo

Phew!!! That was too close for comfort, exciting game though, well played Marcus.

Yikes! It could be smashed.

Superb stuff, Jack.

Is that the second ever Max?

Jojo Apollo

Excellent stuff, Jack, and some real class shown to praise the opponent.

Jojo Apollo

Another ton, well played Jack

On the issue of saving paper and trees etc, why not use a whiteboard and marker?

Jojo Apollo

Good game and good record there.

Jojo Apollo

I like it, it reminds me a bit of the classic: The Crystal Maze. It has some nice music too, which accompanies the tense moments.

Jojo Apollo

Unlucky Heather, a very good sport.

Jojo Apollo

Just watched it and they said "who cares?" when asked what the other 6 pointless answers were. I want to know :( Yeah that was very irritating, I felt like shouting out: "who cares if your show is axed and replaced by Blockbusters, who cares if you are both replaced with Terry Wogan ...

Jojo Apollo

augmenter for a 9!!!! Good spot, but it's not in, so it only gets you zero points. Don't tell me they've removed it from the latest dictionary, it used to be valid. Bring it back and the word OUTDARE also, and while you're at it, stick in the words POUNCER and MOTELIER too. Good fun game today, two...
