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 (At least he's doing it while slagging off Katie Hopkins at the same time. )

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.

C2 is the sort of contestant we like to see. Wowzers.

DIPTERAL alternative eight in round 2.

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.

PRORATES and other eights to beat DC in round 10 or whenever

At least 5 8s available that round infact eg TRAMPERS, though I missed them all.

Why is Apterous called Apterous, anyway? It's not like it's a common Countdown word or anything.

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.

DEICING IN R7, or does it still have a hyphen?

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.

I did (50+9) x (25-8-7) = 590

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.

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

Is that a wanking joke from Tony Atkins?
