Spoilers for Tuesday, 15th April

[Joseph Bolas]

Post any spoilers today, here.

[Michael Wallace]

I was in the kitchen during the intro - did they something about les chiffres?

[Matt Coates]

RECANTED as an equaller

[Matt Coates]

yes, challenger wants to go on there as she teaches french or something

[Joseph Bolas]

RECANTED as an equaller

I think they said this one .

I thought when Carole said 7 and then 8, I thought it would've been classed as a misdeclare and therefore not allowed the points.

[Joseph Bolas]

ENLISTER too?

EDIT: If a vowel was picked at the end though, it would've been an 'A' and then you would've had TREENAILS .

[Matt Coates]

ENLISTER as an equaller, surprised contestants didnt get an 8


they said CANTERED and DECANTER

[Michael Wallace]

I think that's what you call a 'convenient' numbers game

[Joseph Bolas]

The contestants? I was going on about DC .

[David O'Donnell]

I was impressed that the contestant got GATEPOST, I got it too but only because I missed it very recently on Corral. I missed ADOPTION/OPTIONAL though so i am currently contemplating suicide methods: do I take this game too seriously or not seriously enough?!

[David O'Donnell]

PASTRAMI - some juicy ones coming up today thus far.

She's really picked up a bit, yeah.

Is ARMPITS 2 words, then?

[Martin Gardner]

APIARIST? Oh and the picture on Countdown just disappeared.

Martin

[Matt Coates]

yea went back and checked it, i must be going deaf, pretty sure they didnt say ARMPITS tho

[Joseph Bolas]

APIARIST? Oh and the picture on Countdown just disappeared.

Martin

Same here, the screen is blank but I can still hear the selections, so I'm playing it blind .

[Joseph Bolas]

Did they say MOANERS?

EDIT: The picture now is pixelated

[Michael Wallace]

Did they say MOANERS?

No, Jo Brand was too busy being not funny.

[Matt Coates]

((100X(9+1))=1000 + (8X5)=1040, 1040/2 = 520, as a nice equaller

or 8X2=16+10 = 26, 26 X 100 = 2600, 2600/5 = 520

[Matt Coates]

ADORNERS??

[David O'Donnell]

ADORNERS ahem being another.

[Charlie Reams]

Did they say MOANERS?

No, Jo Brand was too busy being not funny.

It is getting tedious isn't it? My favourite guests are the ones that tend to turn the game into a farce (Zenon), but anyone could make up some unimaginative compound word given, say, 30 seconds and the vocabulary of an 8 year old. Jon Stitcher used to do it in every online game, which was pretty annoying, and his were actually funny.

For a completely unnecessary fourth solution in round 10, you could also do (100/2-9-1)x(8+5).

Thank God it's not just me...

[Matt Coates]

(50+25+5+(8/8))X10 as an equaller

[Joseph Bolas]

Did anyone else have trouble watching that today? For me, by the 3rd half it was very pixelated and it was lagging too.

[David O'Donnell]

I missed the challenger's surname again, Diana x? Anybody know please?

[Martin Gardner]

I missed the challenger's surname again, Diana x? Anybody know please?

Spencer? Joke.

Martin

[David O'Donnell]

I could just put that in for the time being but I don't want to cut corners.

[Charlie Reams]

Spencer? Joke.

Martin

You don't need to tell us when you're joking, this isn't the Americanized Countdown forum (moderated by Tex Ritter.)

[Michael Wallace]

Diana not actually killed and appearing in Countdown shocker?

How has the Express not got hold of this yet?

[JasonCullen]

I thought RANDOMERS was there for nine but CountMax doesn't like it. Its a word I use quite often to describe some unruly friends

[Matt Coates]

just realised this would have been my octochamp game had i beaten david, as i beat all the other contestants by quite a fair margin,and i beat the challenger today by 40 points, hated wrestling before, hate it even more now

[Joseph Bolas]

Hey JaCu , youre back . Where have you been.

[James Hurrell]

Was TURNSOLE allowable?? Didn't hear it mentioned and haven't seen it posted, so most likely not.

[JasonCullen]

Hey again Joseph Yeah not been on the forum much because I have got my GCSE exams in 3 weeks - so i've been on a hectic revision plan. But still caught countdown on channel 4 + 1. Thank God for Digital tv

[Richard Priest]

I thought that was going to go to the wire, bit disappointed we didn't get a crucial conundrum. Nice to see 2 ladies facing off - I can't remember the last time that happened. I love Jo Brand's "words" - wish she could have been on my shows!

[Joe Denniss]

I took the time in a few rounds to try and anticipate Jo Brand's "words". Successfully, too.

I don't find them particularly amusing anymore though. At all
