Her pupils were also ridiculously diluted. Dilated, maybe?? I was wondering is that one of those little mix-ups you've been making for years? Mine was invasive/evasive. I have to remember when talking to people about their garden plants, not to suggest some varieties may be trying to dodge the issu...

Please refer to him by his stage name, 'Mr Showbiz' - it's in his rider. For Damian's benefit, my rider also includes turquoise Smarties (not blue!), two bottles of sealed yet diluted Ribena, a llama, a first-edition copy of 'Keepy Guppy- The Steve Guppy Story', exactly 8192 pieces of A5 paper, for...

Jeffrey Burgin

I will throw my proverbial hat into the ring for this, in an attempt to improve my woefully poor numbers play.

Jeffrey Burgin

Her pupils were also ridiculously diluted, she looked proper scary up close. I'd like to throw my weight behind the eyes/circles theory. I also drew a spiral, which I guess is a concentric circle. I'm sure it would be good enough for Derren anyway. That other 'psychic' guy was hilarious as well, my ...

I have nothing of note to add, though. Sorry.

I've actually only heard it twice- once from Colin Murray, and once from some girl from Liverpool who added me a few shows into my run.

I think Damian was slightly taking the Michael when he posted about your total score etc. I thought he was lampooning the type of pissy posts we tend to get on this forum rather than having a genuine dig at you. I know he was, when discussing the whole BEREAVING/BEAVERING incident I brought the mat...

Well done though mate, assuming you play to your potential I'm sure we'll see you in the finals. Best of luck.

Jeffrey missed BEAVERING - like we're gonna let THAT lie!!!! Well done Kiddo - really well played and sooo Mr Showbiz today. Yea I'm a friend of Richard (today's challenger) so he really should have got it too. You're right Craig, Richard couldn't believe it when the conundrum came up and he missed...

Oh, many thanks for all the congratulations and what like as well. A bit cut out of the show was me telling how when I came out of my audition and rang my Dad to tell him how it went, I said to him that on my gut feeling I didn't think I'd made it. To be sitting here and getting congratz from legend...

Jeffrey Burgin

As has been mentioned before, Jeffrey's total score isn't the best. I actually checked it's one of the worst since the show went into the 15-round format. Although he shouldn't have the worst as Jeffrey only needs around 30 points to makes sure his isn't the worst. Mentioned by you, yes. No-one els...

Darren Carter wrote:Jeffrey, how are you going to be able to keep playing for Phillipine United whilst studying at Oxford?

That's a very good question, and a problem I currently face at the moment. The answer is I'm not sure.

Sweetness. Tell me more about PHILIPPINE UNITED. Based where, play who, etc.? Did Martinez have anything to say to you? I'd not picked up you were even into football at all until today ( potential slight spoiler removed ). Philippine United are based in Bushey, Watford. They play in the 2nd Divisio...

Jeffrey Burgin

As anyone who's watched my run thus far will know, it's my dream to play for the Philippines, and I might just be close to achieving that, therefore adding to the list of sportsmen on Countdown!

Oh, and the audience were bloody rude today whilst Colin did his anecdote, I thought that was really interesting and there was no applause.

(P.S. I will stand up for Colin all the time now after him saying I'm in the top 11 bachelors, that made my fucking year!)

INDUNAS as a beater in round 7 and MADRONOS as a beater in round 13. I missed PANTOUM and UNBOLTS though - nice ones. Was that our very own apterite Laura Leach on today?

I got the word 'fuckload' onto my S1 exam, and got an A :D My mate wrote a load of explicit gay lyrics on the back of his GCSE DT exam and was severely reprimanded. I usually just write some jokes on the back to try and win the examiner over- example from A-Level Nazi Germany this year: Which film ...

Jeffrey Burgin

I like him too - very approachable and friendly. He even remembered my name which I've heard a lot of presenters probably wouldn't. All the Countdown people are like that, which I think is why everyone who goes on the show has such a great time. I really don't see how he's smug, patronising, talent...

I like Jeff Stelling.

Excellent. Looking forward to some round-by-round beaters from the Reamster! And what if I get a max game, huh? :P I liked Rachel's dress yesterday as well, as did my mum. Then again, Rachel could wear a potato sack and I'd still be on Youtube five minutes later typing in 'Rachel Riley potato sack ...

Jeffrey Burgin

You definitely seemed to be more calm and focused, certainly compared when you played Darren and Phil, when I was in the audience. Once I'd got to 5 wins, I knew I should be reasonably safe for the finals, so I'm not surprised I seemed more relaxed today. Following on from the banter at the top of ...

The whole point with THECRISP was the fact that Jeff had to retake about 5 times as he couldn't bring himself to say big jugs. :) On the last numbers as well, I was going down the 99x4 route but then got confused working out 99x4 (yes, I know it's easy!), then when doing a last second job I couldn't...

My bad, got confused between Tina and the actress who plays her, Michelle Keegan. Michelle would catch it nicely as well incidentally.

Jeffrey Burgin

His average is only 86 points currently, so if that continues, he'd get less than 700 points for his octochamp score :!: Meh. I'd say 86 is the average score for anyone who wins more than one game, and I'd consider myself closer in standard to these people rather than Octochamps such as Hulme, Davi...

Jeffrey Burgin

Maybe it will be the reverse, and we'll see Kirk having a round of darts or David coming home to see me squiring Tina on the kitchen table. Damian, make this happen.

Jeffrey Burgin

And don't worry about it mate, nobody's seriously getting at you for winning! Oh, I know what you mean, but I was genuinely more concerned about hopefully making the quarter-finals than any dreams of vanquishing all before me. If I'd got my 5 and then taken on Mhairi (or Darren, for that matter) th...

Yeah, came in to point that out, about doing 4*3 instead of just adding them on, and you'd have been dust mate. Sorry Jeffrey, nice though you are I was absolutely gutted for the poor girl at the end. We need more great female players so it's very sad to see good ones fall at the first hurdle (okay...

Well done Jeff - risking an 8 when your opponent had a 7 (which turned out to be dodgy) and then you both scoring 0 must hurt. It happened between me and Zussman when he risked a 7 and I was forced into risking a 9, both of which turned out to be shite. What was even worse for Mhairi was that she h...

Really enjoyed Bob's run. After suffering a seemingly chunky run of nervous/attitudinal contestants, it was refreshing to get to watch someone so unreservedly smiley on the show, and (to me at least) it seems to make a massive difference to the show's vibe. Never seen someone smile so much at the e...

Woah, raw score Jeffrey 98 - 110 Russell. Awesome. If Russell hadn't made such a poor start he could have cantered home had things played out similarly.

What did it involve besides the tie? It didn't.

I reckon he said it deliberately to try and be 'funny'. His 'horror' at saying it seemed a little too staged to be true for me, plus the reaction of Jay the floor manager sounded as if he's seen it done so many times before.

I always thought it was GAROTTE. A poor numbers miss from me as well- extend my worst ever rounds of Countdown/Apterous from rounds 6-10, bar EBONISED.

75+3=78
78*7=546
546-8+3=541.

My Dad got PARADES as well- those 3 rounds from 6 to 8 were probably my worst 3 rounds so far in my Countdown/Apterous life. And yes, I was looking for the O for EBONISED in round 9.
