His average is only 86 points currently, so if that continues, he'd get less than 700 points for his octochamp score

Let's also hope that Rachel carries on displaying her new exciting wardrobe that seems to be getting everyone talking at the moment.

Meh. I'd say 86 is the average score for anyone who wins more than one game, and I'd consider myself closer in standard to these people rather than Octochamps such as Hulme, Davies, Carson etc.James Robinson wrote:His average is only 86 points currently, so if that continues, he'd get less than 700 points for his octochamp score![]()
Well at least you're honest about it, Jeffrey. I was pointing out that if you did become an octo, you'd be pretty low down in the charts if you maintained your average.Jeffrey Burgin wrote:Meh.

Oh, so 94 is a big average, but 86 is a small one? I'm confused now, so I'm going to shut up. <Insert cheer icon>James Robinson wrote:I only had a 3 game run and I somehow managed an average of 94, so I suppose big averages don't get you everywhere all the time.
Course they don't - it's based on your opponent. Sometimes I see scorelines of 95-60 when I'd beat the winner like 115-35. On Countdown you have to beat your opponent - you do that every round and you get a big score and you win. Some opponents might not miss many maximums and it's in these cases that you might score a lower points total but, flat scoring, you're still a 95-average kinda person.James Robinson wrote:I only had a 3 game run and I somehow managed an average of 94, so I suppose big averages don't get you everywhere all the time.

Well, first you took all your clothes off, and then you turned on the water, waited for it to warm up, stepped underneath, soaped yourself all over and... oh god...Matt Morrison wrote:I was having a shower - someone tell all please?

Dunno.

Well done again, Jeffrey. No, it's TAMBOURINE. No alternative spelling, well not one that's allowed anyway.Jeffrey Burgin wrote:Out of interest, was TAMBORINE valid in the BARITONE round?

I actually look for James everytime they go to an audience shot. It sort of reminds me of the great days when I used to look for Wally in the Where's Wally books.Matt Morrison wrote:I can't see James Robinson.Derek Hazell wrote:

I found this rather interesting. Probably just because I like statistics. Thanks Clive. I wonder how many more series of apterites are required to push the all-time octochamp average up to 100.Clive Brooker wrote:the average score for a multichamp (more than one win but fewer than 8) is about 83 [...] the equivalent numbers for non-winners, monochamps and octochamps are 60, 75 and 99 respectively.
I seem to recall saying I wasn't there that day. I don't go to the Monday recordings, because it's hard to get a train back to Dewsbury since it finishes late on Mondays, unlike Tuesdays or Wednesdays, when it finishes much earlier.Darren Carter wrote:I actually look for James everytime they go to an audience spot.

Once I'd got to 5 wins, I knew I should be reasonably safe for the finals, so I'm not surprised I seemed more relaxed today.James Robinson wrote:You definitely seemed to be more calm and focused, certainly compared when you played Darren and Phil, when I was in the audience.
It seems I was about right then when I said was closer to oligochamps than octochamps.Clive Brooker wrote:Following on from the banter at the top of this thread, it's just possible that someone might like to know that since the start of the 15 round format, the average score for a multichamp (more than one win but fewer than 8) is about 83.
What do you do if Town are playing on a Tuesday or Wednesday? I guess it's a difficult choice on which season ticket to use?James Robinson wrote:I seem to recall saying I wasn't there that day.

Luckily, every time I've been Town have either been away or have had no game. Luckily they don't play any games on Wednesdays (not at home anyway).Philip Jarvis wrote:What do you do if Town are playing on a Tuesday or Wednesday? I guess it's a difficult choice on which season ticket to use?
I guess it was the laughs when the clue had been read out, presumably from a few in the studio audience, which didn't get edited out, to which Damian is referring.Matt Morrison wrote:I don't get itMatt Morrison wrote:I was having a shower - someone tell all please?D Eadie wrote:Pay close attention to today's first TTT.

Yup, cheers Howard! I'd accepted that was all it was - I think I just have a much higherHoward Somerset wrote:I guess it was the laughs when the clue had been read out, presumably from a few in the studio audience, which didn't get edited out, to which Damian is referring.
