So, we've reached the end of the first week back on
Countdown .
And early reports suggest a good chance of success for Adam Gillard on the back of 2 impressive centuries. But are we speaking too soon......
Join Mike later to complete the first week of recaps.

Did Ray declare "finaly" (finally) in round 6, and if so, did they award him the points. Dunno if I misheard him saying felony.

Brilliant performance today, much better then the previous two. If you keep that up you'll do awesomely. You beat me 110-102. I was furious at myself for missing ROGATIONS, but there you go.
DEWORMS as a dc beater btw.

Is 196 the highest combined 15-round score?
1st numbers alternate: (100 x 10) - (10 x 9) - (6 - 2)

My bad. Cheers Joseph.
WP again Adam. COUNTDOWN CLICHE ALERT... I thought the challenger was pretty good today, and was unlucky to come up against such a good opponent.

Nowhere close. The best is 241 in the CoC XII when Mark Tournoff & Matthew Shore played each other. That was 124-117.

I don't know! I think I just clapped along with the audience for the first second or two at the end of a game until I remembered that I'm not in the audience and don't need to clap.
Edit: I'm surprised you didn't pick up on me playing to the cameras during the really easy numbers round
