Worst Players
In response to the numerous topics based around the best coutndown players not to achieve something related to countdown, i thought i'd make a topic to discuss the worst player to achieve something on countdown.
Here's the categories
-Worst player to pass an audition and get on the show
-Worst player to win a teapot
-Worst player to get a century
-Worst player to qualify for series finals
-Worst Octochamp
-Worst seres champion.
and a miscellaneous one i'd like to add:
-Worst tactical players
When i go on im gonna try and get all of these accolades.

Re: Worst Players
We do have a sort of unwritten rule that we don't slag the contestants. This would be less galling had you actually achieved anything on the show yourself rather than being an out-and-out patzer.Ian Dent wrote:-Worst player to pass an audition and get on the show - Kezra

Re: Worst Players
Obvious omission: worst topic ever.
Re: Worst Players
Sorry David, I didn't realise this was a serious thread.
Patzer is a good word though, had to look it up.

Re: Worst Players
FTR what would you have picked, Ian?
Re: Worst Players
I've always been right behind you Charlie on that move.
Four large is the best pick at any time.

Re: Worst Players
I thought that the 4 large was the bes possible pick in the circumstances.
Carol seemed a little annoyed as it wasnt the most nostalgic of numbers picks to go out on.
Sorry if this topic massively shit, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Guess Ill have to have a good read of those unwritten rules!

Oh come on, I know that conundrum was quite easy but he wasn't bad for the other 14 rounds.Douglas Wilson wrote:Today's player has got to be up there with the worst ever.
Re: Worst Players
I agree with Douglas, how could she miss 176? I wonder how some of these low-scoring players ever get picked, are they that desperate for contestants?

Re: Worst Players
I think she could have been a tad nervous - and if she had sat watching previous Andrew thrashings, it couldn't have helped.

For a moment I thought that was being a bit harsh on Andrew. Then I read the other spoilers. Grr.Douglas Wilson wrote:Today's player has got to be up there with the worst ever.
