I make it a lot lower odds than that.

Dave Preece

Can you show me how you got to that please, I've had differing answers from 'clever' people, It looks easy to me, but it obviously isn't???

Dave Preece

Beadle!

Dave Preece

8 players left in a randomly drawn straight KO.

4 top players and 4 muppets.

What are the odds of all the top players drawing the muppets?

Dave Preece

How come it's not as busy, not much happening at all?

Dave Preece

Dodgey numbers solver to win?

Dave Preece

I think Jack's idea is COCK ON!

Dave Preece

I'm surprised Callum hasn't been on yet, sucking off Jen and all the other do-gooders!

Dave Preece

...and of course only your opinion?

You may actually be wrong for once?

Even I got 119 and i'm shite compared to you boys!

Dear countdown team, please make sure no more people who say contstonant get on the show.

Thanks,

Jack

Thouroghly agree, for the sake of my ears at Sunday lunch when my Dad goes mental about contestants saying consonant wrong!

Dave Preece

Pretty sure a C of C will happen again at some point, but it's a headache that can wait for now. Haven't looked into the logistics of who takes part and from when etc, that's a nightmare yet to come, but gut-feeling and immediate instinct at the moment is that it should comprise of non-30th Birthda...

Dave Preece

Countdown: Abdi (I haven't watched much Countdown this year apart from the 30BC, but when Abdi hit the screens, he gave me a reason to watch, and watch I did until he got beat. His enthusiasm and determination reminded me of an excitable dog.) Well, you certainly missed some fantastic contestants i...

Thanks... I think?

YES the silver medal...!!!

All my hard work was worth while.

Haha! Nothing if not persistent, good work!

Dave Preece

Firstly all the Supreme Championship contestants also had their chance at a CofC before the SC. The 30BC was kind of like a 2nd SC (although I realise it wasn't, exactly the same), but the problem was Countdown messed up IMO; they used to have a CofC every 4 series, and had the 1st SC after 32 serie...

Rather more aggressive and unpleasant than ANY of my posts that Zarté... I'm almost half-offended! Aggressive, perhaps. But after tolerating you raising the imbecility levels of the forum much better than most have, I feel perfectly comfortable with releasing my torrent of STFU in one go. As for un...

Dave Preece

Why is it so important to some to have female contestants? Surely going out of your way to even mention it never mind ensure they get invited is sexism itself? Surely everyone should be treated equally, if you're good enough to be invited then it should matter not whether you are female or whatever?

Dave, this is a thread just for light chatter about who you'd like to see, not furious debate over who definitely should or shouldn't be on. We're not actually drawing up the invite list here.

Why not get Abdi on as the token black guy; a couple of girls... and players from Ireland, Scotland and Wales... Whilst you're there... Invite a wheelchair player and an autistic/aspergers type?

Haha!

Dave Preece

It HAS to be a combination of the following:

Winning (games and comps)
Scoring (inc' big scores and centuries)
Maxing (both of points and rounds)

Would you add more to this list of important KPIs?

Dave Preece

Ok is it possible we get a half credible ranking system out of it? How do other games and sports all time ranking systems/hall of fames work? I know it can all be a little subjective, but stats don't lie and a blind man on a gallopping horse can see that the likes of Beevers, Fell and even Holden ar...

Dave Preece

Oh FFS!!!

Dave Preece

We cant agree to rank the KPIs in order to rank contestants, but we can - it seems - half-agree, to agree on what are the best KPIs to determine the best ever Countdown contestant? These are: (among others - please add...) Winning (games and comps) Scoring (inc' big scores and centuries) Maxing (bot...

Mark, I was wondered why you were laboring the Martin's name so much mark, in more-or-less every sentence you wrote. Mark.

I feel that winning a series doesn't mean much, This is the kind of stupid thing Liverpool haters (I'm not a Liverpool fan btw) were saying in 2005. "Sure they won the competition but they weren't the best team in it". Well they were. That's what winning the thing means. As someone who pa...

Next thing you females will be jumping on top of your soapboxes and complaining about the above user's profile picture of a rather sexy and pert-looking Countdown co-host with the word PERT on the letters board!

I feel that the main difference between a potential 'female' category in these awards (which I don't think are a good idea anyway - what's the point? Don't we have enough stats and ranking systems and Countdown-related accolades already?) and gendered awards at the Oscars is that there are so few w...

Didn't Countdown once have a four-woman ladies championship, I'm sure the winner of this mini event was still proud despite it only being a small field?

Stop being aggressive(!)

Dave Preece

Actresses play significantly different roles in films than actors do. Gender has no effect whatsoever on countdown, apterous, or c4c. Splitting an award for these things into gender categories greatly cheapens it. What? You lost me. How is acting different for men & women? Without wanting to so...

I simply can't see Bradley losing this, but good luck to both, and here's to a close and exciting contest.
