I was watching the Krypton Factor and saw a contestant called Jon Stitcher. As I've never met Jon before I don't know what he looks like and was wondering if it was him. If it was then you really were bade in the assault course.

That was him at the peak of physical fitness.

Stitcher believes himself to be the best looking person to ever appear on Countdown!
As much as that is highly debatable, we can confirm he has been the most unfit contestant on the Krypton Factor! :oops:

Did it take him over an hour? Ok that was a really cheap shot, I admit it.

To break it? No, he did that well within the time.

I assumed by "break" you meant solve, as in "breaking a code". So did you really mean "break into pieces"?

The puzzle wouldn't work for him, and they had to stop filming to work out why one of his mirrors wasn't reflecting the beam

Watching the 2nd semi-final, amazing how bad the observation round is.

It's got about as much skill in it as Deal or No Deal.

Buzz in ASAP and have a guess. Occasionally you'll get it right and you stop most/all of the others having a go.

Also the scoring of rounds where there's tied players is shit.

You're happy for people to do this on Krypton Factor but when Hansford does it, it's unacceptable?

Krypton Factor is just a game. Countdown is a way of life.

They should go back to the either the format with the multiple choice answers or the format where they showed two clips and in the second clip there was 5 errors.
