Countdown - so much better these days!

Rachel is getting more and more confident in her role finally and truly is beautiful

Jeff is a good host and deserves the chance on a terrestrial show at last

Steve Davis is good on this mostly because like most of us he is not very good at getting the 7+ letter worRAB over and over
 
But still as you say it was a great night out. I do not manage to watch this very often, but wish I could... Well done on your night out. :)

The new girl who took over from Carol has an outstanding figure. This alone must make watching compulsive for those who are home at this time of day?
 
As ever I'm playing catch-up with Countdown, and am a few days behind, but delighted to see Tim Vine back in Dictionary Corner this week. I've only watched Monday's edition so far but he was as delightfully daft as ever. You just cannot beat him for punworthiness! I hope Jeff was taking notes :D
 
I still enjoy the game itself, which is the reason I watch. Rachel is pretty good having finally settled in. Jeff Stelling still seems very clumsy as a presenter IMHO and he does have a tendency to make silly "sport jokes" occasionally.
The guests are not always quite as good as in the past. Martin Jarvis hasn't been on for quite a while. Jo Brand should be banned from the building IMHO and the person who dreams up the silly worRAB for the Teatime Teasers should be sacked.
I feel really annoyed if I have spent the ad break trying to solve an anagram when the word is some silly Americanised slang word as seems to happen a lot these days.
 
I can understand their not allowing the F - word on Countdown, but was puzzled a few months ago, when a contestant came up with the word 'bastard' and they bleeped it out! It's not a swear word, just a perfectly legitimate word for the illegitimate.
 
I've started watching it again. I just hope Rachel doesn't turn into Vorderman II (and Jeff's interaction with the guests in dictionary corner can be a bit artificial/awkward at times).
 
Probably a cheap ploy by the producers to boost viewing figures by getting lovely Rachel to wear short skirts, tight-fitting dresses, sexy heels, etc.

And I for one am not too proud to say it works!
 
I agree 100% with you! Des was Oh SO DREARY and Carol far too big for her boots!!! It's much 'brighter' now with the current team!

There's an interesting article in the Daily Mail about Rachel and she has a 2:1 in maths from Oxford and the 'not so clever' Carol had only a third in engineering!!!! ;)

The people who criticise Rachel should remember how bad Carol was at the start and how awful she looked compared to the much prettier Rachel..... :cool: Rachel said she was nervous making the first 15 shows in just three days!

"I didn't count on this abuse": Rachel Riley on why being Carol Vorderman's replacement adRAB up to a whole lot of grief

I didn't like it when Mavis Riley and Dennis Healey first took over and stopped watching for a while, but I am getting to like them now and have started watching again, especially Mavis' dresses, and her arse is even better than Carol's.
 
Oh, I'm not putting any of her other features down, but it is an arse and a half. I mean, how is it possible if you're either male and heterosexual or female and homosexual to watch this clip and spend most of your time looking at the letters? Is it even humanly possible?
