Spoilers For Monday February 14th 2011

[James Robinson]

Ahhhh, love is in the air this Valentine's Day, isn't it

Well, if not, there's all Countdown to lean back on isn't there...

After Edward's brilliant efforts over the last 8 games, he is now the #2 seed for the time being.

But that means we have 2 vacant spaces for today's first match of the week. Will we have our 3rd octochamp come through today, I wonder....

In DC this week, we have Christine Blakeley, no sorry, Kate Winslet, no sorry, Davina McCall, no sorry, Richard Hammond. Well, actually, we have all those people, because our newcomer in DC is impressionist, and one half of Culshaw & Stephenson, Debra Stephenson.

A hopefully fully-recovered Ryan will resume with his recap later.

[Joseph Krol]

Look at da bling of Rachel.

[Marcus Hares]

Typical that after the lack of 9's in Edward's run that one should come up in the very first round today

[Dan McColm]

Taking the mick out of Thatcher... my, how Countdown's changed! This Andy bloke isn't bad, he could go far.

But that means we have 2 vacant spaces for today's first match of the week.

I hope neither of them is reading this!

I'd never come across Debra Stephenson before. She showed promise at drinking water while Susie does the talking. But her water drinking skills were rather more interesting than her reading Margaret Thatcher quotes with a voice vaguely like Margaret Thatcher.

Andy looks handy, if nervous.

She does a pretty good Davina McCall impression.

She does a pretty good Davina McCall impression.

I'll take your word on that, Ralph. I'm not aware I've ever seen Davina McCall, and am not too concerned about my ignorance about what she does or what she looks and sounds like, I'll admit. So an impersonation of someone I've never seen by someone I've never heard of is somewhat wasted on me. Sorry.
