Right, so the bank holiday week is approaching its end, as is the series, with just 11 shows to go.

Following yesterday's result, we now have the full line-up for the finals confirmed, so the question to be asked now is Who will be the carryover champion for Series 63

Will it be our new champ, Scott Gillies, who performed brilliantly yesterday to dethrone Dominic, the 5-time champ.

We'll know in due course...., hopefully.

I would bet my mug on it. Debut performance was very good, hopefully he can keep it up.

ORTANIQUE and some anagram of that in R1. Edit: that^

JANITOR as an equaller in round 4

I dont get road rage, just general rage when i see john gaunt.

TFI Friday, goodbye John Gaunt!!! "All round good egg."? I think Jeff got his words muddled here, he was supposed to say, "What a fat annoying EARHOLES, it's John Gaunt!".

MINIMA as a beater rd 9

3rd numbers:

(75 x 9) + (25 x 8) + (10 - 1)

I still prefer him to that tiresome gobby tub of lard who thinks she's a brilliant comedienne.

Final score, anyone? (plz)

Nah, Joe Brand it nice. I would enjoy having her as a guest in DC if I was a contestant.

91-55 i think Michael

To each their own, but, sorry, I HATE Jo Brand with a vehemence.

Scott's back down in Manchester for a Stag Weekend, and they were all in a pub watching the show. He'll be taking a bit of stick from his mates, not many of whom (if any) are Countdown fanatics like Scott.

A pretty convincing win, but even I spotted 'equation', 'impedance' and 'aphorise' which he didn't. He'll need to buck up his ideas for Monday!

Yeah, thank god that's the end of John Gaunt. Apparently he was even more right-wing and loathsome in the flesh.

Did she post a numbers alt before you?

I still find it surprising that they actually decided to execute him to save him from the public uproar he was due to receive as a result of his comments. I think that was a bit out of order tbh, even if he is a cock.

No, it's nothing to do with numerical / verbal abilities.

It's because she's a smug Leftist b***h with an eminently punchable face.
And I don't find her joke 'nine-letter words' funny.

There was no doubt one she would have found in today's show - WIMMIN.

91-52 actually.

The audience seemed pretty geed up during the end credits, So much whistling!

TEACUPS in round 2 and PANDEMIC in round 3 as contestant equallers.

Scott (or anyone who was in the studio?) - what did John say after his phantom C for CARTOON? Judging by everyone's reactions he clearly did a swear (that was muted out) but was it 'shit' or 'lesbian hardcore fucks with toys' or what?

First of all, whatever Rachel says, the train service in Essex is utterly appalling. Maybe National Expess are sponsoring her. Secondly, it was good that the challenger picked up his scoring after having 0 after 4 rounds. It looked like being a massacre - I thought we had another Egremont on our hands.

Well done to your son again (I've got the familial connection right haven't I?) I think if I were to have a son, I would call him "Englishmann".

Haha Not sure it'll catch on, although some people have called their children some pretty daft names. Dweezil, Moon-Unit, Zowie, Fifi-Trixibelle etc.

Yes, Scott's my younger son. When he returned from Manchester with his goodie-bag my wife placed the main item on the table next to our elder son's graduation photo, and Scott quipped proudly, "Garry may have a degree, but I've got The Teapot!"

Only just got around to reading this thread from yesterday. I agree with you Mark Kudlowski, all a matter of taste I suppose but I find Jo Brand a complete waste of space and why she still appears on our favourite programme I fail to understand. She obviously thinks she's funny since she always laughs at her own jokes. Since I always record the show and fast forward through guests' bit (unless it's someone I know I would like) and adverts, I wouldn't know what JG said, but sounds as though I didn't miss anything.

Ta-da!

Jon Gaunt - 'It must be one of those Americanisms - I have no idea where it came from' A-LOL

(Definitely not a bigot.)

Nothing to add except a load of Gaunt hate.

QFT, she was awesome at the S59 finals. She even gave me some jelly babies
