I'm 16, and i've been watching countdown since i was about 7. I've never been brilliant at it, but I can mostly manage to keep up with best players when watching at home. Of course, this doesnt mean i would be able to do this on set, but i'd like to have a chance.
This is why i want to ask the previous contestants here about three things related to getting on the show: Applying, Auditioning and actually participating.
Applying
-What method of application did you use?
-How long did you have to wait for a response, and how many applications did you send?
-What would be the ideal sort of thing to include on your application?
Auditioning
-How many people were there at the auditions?
-What was the atmosphere like?
-What did you have to do at the auditions?
-How easy was it to pass the audtions, and what did you have to do well to pass them?
Participating
-Is there anything different or surprising on set that you wouldnt realise from watchign at home?
-How smoothly do the recordings run?
-What do you get briefed on before you go on set?
Any answers would be much apreciated.
And i know what your thinking: "How does this idiot expect to get on the show if every other word he posted in the topic was spelled incorrectly"
