They're getting some surprising guests aren't they? I'm not saying Martin Lewis is not a good choice, but I bet no one would have guessed he would be a DC guest.

Martin Lewis feels wrong for this programme.
Jeff just made a funny comment about not downgrading Rachel for a cheaper model! Little dig at La Vorderman there?!! |

If that last vowel had been an E we would have had a classic countdown dirty word moment!

I had to laugh when Jeff said 'please get more than 5' when the first set of letters went up.
And the look he gave to camera when the he asked the first guy what his 5-letter word was - classic.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I do find it irritating the way Rachel says 'times by' rather than the correct expression 'multiply by'. I appreciate that this is a colloquialism often used by children, but an adult with a background in maths surely ought to know the proper word to use.

"Over" is also commonly used instead of "divide" though that isn't in the dictionary. |

I loved Countdown during the Richard Whiteley and Des Lynam days, however I stopped watching when Des O'Connor took over. He is one of the most awful entertainers of all time.
I do think that Countdown is the best ever now, though! Jeff Stelling is a legend. I also think Rachel Riley is a million times better than Carol Vorderman. Long may they continue! |

I agree. Des Lynam was especially good on the show IMO and just what they needed following Richard Whitely. It was a shame he quit when he did, and Des O'Conner was never the right person for the job - but I think by then Carol had firmly been positioned as the Queen of Countdown, and it would have been difficult for any host to come in and really make their mark.
I just hope Jeff sticks with it, especially with the move away from Leeds. Really though it's the ideal role for him, increasing his portfolio without affecting his day job, and I imagine few people will be on TV more this year than Jeff Stelling. |

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 words over and over |
