Spoilers For Monday January 27th 2014

Post by James Robinson »

So, we've had COLIN X, we've had COLIN X:The Hangover, but the most amazing that I found out this weekend was that Nick Hewer does advertising for Cadbury's Dairy Milk :!: :!: :shock: :shock: :o :o (At least he's doing it while slagging off Katie Hopkins at the same time. :lol: :lol: :P :P )

Anyway, back to more pressing matters, as we could have our first octochamp of the series on Thursday, as Priscilla Munday has reached the halfway point of her journey after getting her 4th win on Friday over the Apteforumite, Sam Hodkin. Can she make the grade and be top dog on Thursday :?: :?:

Back in DC for her 2nd stint is the TV presenter, Nicki Chapman.

With Andy McGurn incapacitated thanks to moving house, I'll be filling in with the recapping today, so see you guys then. ;) :) :D

Not sure I could cope with the messy bedroom.

Shame they both missed the easy 9.

Can't believe it's 45 episodes since we last had 2 female players.

Doubt it is the first time, but strange to see APTEROUS come up on Countdown.

Why is Apterous called Apterous, anyway? It's not like it's a common Countdown word or anything.
everything has meaning - existence has meaning - being alive has meaning - have dreams - use power

I think Charlie/Jono/et al just liked the sound of it. Probably came up in a game or two.

Was pleased when Josephine selected three large, but sad when Rachel had to show them how.

Easy for many of us but when you haven't practised as much as we have and if you don't know the word, then I wouldn't call it easy.

REARMOST and ROTAMERS in the PRORATES round.

Still hyphenated I'm afraid, sorry. :(

Nearly a max game, just missed out with GOATFISH (which I'd never heard of...........), so defo not unhappy with that. 8-)

IODINE in round 7, AMOSITE/AMOTIES in round 11 and DEMEANS in round 13.

4th Numbers Alt.: (9 x 50) + 100 + 25 + 8 + 7 = 590
