She didn't, she said she'd have another go, which she did after the conundrum, doing it the same way as you. But surprised she didn't get it in the 30 seconds. |

If you are a contestant and you do not get a result within 30 seconds you get nothing. If you are Rachel and come up with the answer after the break then you get a loud round of applause

(Although, when there is a break, it isn't nowhere near as long in the studio as it is on TV.) |

I wouldn't consider commenting on this as being the 'usual nonsense' either. I was genuinely interested actually and would have loved to know what the back story was. Was Charlotte transsexual? transgender? in transition or just a transvestite? It just got me wondering and I thought it might have nice for Nick and Charlotte to have a brief chat to explain the situation without necessarily making a big deal about it. If however Charlotte didn't want it referred too at any point, which seems to be the case, then fine, totally her prerogative.

My Cousin Sue Picken is on this show today. Wish her luck as she is a retired nursing sister.

One thing that bothers me re: Conundrum. When someone buzzes in the jumbled mess remains on the screen and you can see them getting those extra few seconds to confirm to themselves that they've got it right and/or reevaluating their answer before they're asked what they think it is. I think as soon as a buzzer is pressed then the Conundrum should be hidden from view.

Cracking game today. Gutted for Liam, seemed a nice young man and a very good player.
Only 2 Countdowns next week and 3 the week after. Because horses. |

I think Nick in his introduction today would have done well to refer to yesterday's game just as a bit of an upset knocking out an established champion, rather than go round the houses and basically suggest that Len was rubbish and shouldn't have won...

I don't mind her. I find most of the guests so mind-numbingly boring that I record and f-f past them but I make an exception for JB. This is also useful for saving 5 otherwise wasted minutes at the start of every show and cutting out commercials of course.
