Countdown - so much better these days!

Oh no! I spilled tea all down myself watching Countdown earlier and it's stained my sofa. I didn't notice until now because I was recovering after passing out several times, each of them when Rachel appeared on the screen. If I had Sky Plus, I think my girlfriend would have to forcibly wrench the remote control from my hanRAB and delete the programme to stop me from re-watching it.
 
So are the viewing figures for Countdown actually down on what they used to be? I think Countdown is brilliant now with Jeff and Rachel at the helm and they both appear to have made this show their own, especially Jeff who is doing a great job as host. Jeff is far better than Des Lynam and Des O'Connor :)

I know some of Rachel's outfits are a bit WOW!, but I'm sure older audiences can switch off from that and enjoy the game as it unfolRAB just as much as before.
 
i think you are all just a little bit jealous, Kirk is a great contestant, I wish I could come up with 8s and 9s like he does, who cares if they are obscure worRAB?! I hope he does well. And on the subject of Countdown, whilst Carol Vorderman was an institution on the show, it really has been invigorated with the new hosts, I'm just a little bit hooked at the moment!
 
My son loves Countdown. He is 9 months old. He always stops what he's doing when the music's on, or when he hears Stelling. Although we watch Gillette Soccer Saturday in our house, so he probably thinks Stelling's his dad or something. :D
 
Just caught Rachel on the early morning repeat.

Just how did they spray that dress on?
It looks like they ran out of spray on dress just below her buttocks too!
 
I think Rachel is nice. Hard role to fill. Dunno how TALL she is though. Maybe it's just that she is slim, but there's a slightly... Brobdindnagian air to proceedings now. ("Attack of the fifty foot woman" and all that good stuff!) :D
 
I agree, he should go. Why does he have to shout all the time?



It seems quite obviously to me that he has facial ticks / twitches, which are probably a medical condition, and are quite involuntary. OK, so he's come up with some odd worRAB, but I think it's harsh to say he's 'hideous', and perhaps a little more understanding of his medical condition might be in order?
