How can people get upset because the numbers on a scoreboard look different?

Ahh Chris looks so much better! He was so peely-wally last time, like he was in need of a square meal, a good night's sleep and a hefty dose of vitamin D! Suzie looking glam today, and Rachel her usual stunning self of course - she's sneaking the tighter dresses on again, but you already knew that!

The new number generator does seem to like the 300-range.

As said, I cannot abide change. I suppose eventually it will grow on me. Knowing my luck, just as I get used to it they'll change again.

He seems a lot friskier this week with Margaret Mountford, his oppo from The Apprentice, being the guest. Shes actually quite funny compared to her previous tv persona
For a lot of the time during the last two episodes she just sat there like a lemon, doodling or pretending to write something while Suzy offered alternative words, not even bothering to look up! When will the producers realise that some of these so called personalities have no personality at all and no ability to converse with the show's proceedings. Being a friend of the presenter is no excuse. |

If she never appears again on the programme it'll be too soon, can't stand the woman!

Being a friend of the presenter is no excuse. A good guest can make all the difference to the show, people like Paul Zenon, Tim Vine and Geoffrey Durham [ he hasn't been on for a while ]. |

No. Absolutely no. Zenon and Vine are horrible, I cannot watch Countdown whilst they are on. I agree though, Margaret wasn't that good. I'd like to see some of the old ones back, like Tom O' Connor, Digance, Wakeman. Even Brandreth was better when he was on last year.

Thought it was amusing last Thursday when BNP came up and the contestant paused to think so RR said "hurry up!" then it went BNPEAT and she said "this could be an interesting message...(!)"
![]() Her dresses are nothing like as short or as revealing as they used to be (if you don't believe me look at youtube!). Has she been told to cover up? Or was she uncomfortable before? Maybe she read the comments sections below the videos.......(!)........

I`ll second that. Very figure-hugging (and what a figure to hug).

![]() It was quite funny during one of the rounds when the first 3 letters came out as "LFC" and she had a quick grimace, I'll forgive her though.

But Zenon and Vine are certainly not horrible, easily two of the best guests.

why is Mark Foster always appearing on Countdown?
He seems to think way too much of himself. |

RR is definitely wearing less 'attractive' clothes, and it seems that the camera is going in closer, cutting off her lower legs. Coupled with the wishy-washy colour of the whole set, it's a turn for the worse.

IIRC, Wakeman said he would never appear again after the way they "treated" Carol.

Plus Suzi gets a bit giggly and makes luvee eyes at Paul when he's on, I think she'd ravish him on the desk given half a chance.
Oh I switched on the show recently where Rachel was giggling, hence the above comment. What happened to give her the giggles? |

The very worst dictionary corner guest was Jo Brand. Making up words was a good joke the first time she did it but a whole week of it was excruciating.
I agree that Margaret Mountford was dull. I'd love to see Ian Hislop do it. |
