I enjoyed watching today's episode.

Can't think why.

Has anyone else noticed that Nick's spiel asking people to apply for Countdown (typically read just after the first commercial break) is just a recording? Every time it's played, he makes pauses/hesitations in the same places, most notably saying "If you'd like to become a -- a Countdown contestant".
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Indeed, he always says Contestants' Applications when the caption says Contestant.

Both players, or just the challenger?

Both. I know he's a friend of yours (or at least acquainted) - mildly disappointed he didn't show up to London now...
