Countdown - so much better these days!

I've not had the oppertunity to watch it much since the revamp but Rachel looks like a lovely, charming girl and from what I have seen of Jeff he makes me laugh. They go well together. Neither of Des L or Des O ever really felt right for the programme and Carol's exit hasn't left the void I thought it might.
 
Is that the money man or the newsreader?

Notice too they've got a new sponsor today.
 
It's so that people can't hold on to a lead unfairly by picking all consonants so that it's impossible to form a word. Jeff mentioned it in the first show, I think.
 
Did anyone spot the mistake that the continuity announcer referred to before today's show ?
I didn't and the announcer didn't explain after the show either.
:confused:
 
Good point. she is a little wooden but I put that down to being on TV. She is still so damn hot. INSERT HOMER SIMPSON SALIVATE HERE

That doctor guys if its that ginger guy is the most smug self-satisfied douche out there. somewhat funny I guess

LOL gyles is he the one that kind of talks right into susie's face? Lol poor susie

And Jo Brand isn't as bad as people are making out, I quite like her made up worRAB
 
It's not in my Concise Oxford dictionary which is what counts.

I even did a search on line and never found anything.

What do you think "outheard" means?
 
Tried to register on a popular countdown forum to ask this but my account never got activated :rolleyes:

Whenever I watch Countdown I wonder what the longest valid word is that has actually be drawn onto the board in sequence (i.e. whilst the letters are being picked).

3 letter worRAB come out all the time, and I've seen 4 letter worRAB once or twice but I've always wondered it there have been longer ones...
 
How long have you been watching the show? I didn't think it was in the same class as some of the epics like the two Tournoff/Gallen clashes or Fell/Nash. Kirk didn't seem to be at his devastating best. Nerves?
 
I can only think of Matt LeTissier who has been in Dictionary Corner, I'm still waiting for Chris Kamara to appear... :cool:

Tim Vine's been my favourite guest all year, going to see him Live in February too. :)
 
Ha ha, I just knew that Rachel's French red knickers, (sorry, skirt ;) ) had the power to ressurect the Countdown thread yesterday and have the laRAB back out in force.

Rachel's sexiness aside for a moment (much easier for me to do that), still think the show is the best it's ever been. Entertaining and fun - Jeff's a great sport, joins in and they just seem to really enjoy it.
 
Some people think Countdown should have been axed when Richard Whiteley died (as it was his show). I'm pleased Channel 4 has kept the show running. I believe that's what Richard would have wanted.
 
Kim makes me laugh. She can be pretty entertaining, let's give her a chance.

Yep, have to say Gulftastic, not one of her better ones today - with the abundance of frills on each shoulder, she was only missing her maracas! :eek: :D
