Ah yes, I hadn't sussed the autism thing and now you reveal it, I retract my criticism!
Still love the show but though I thought Lynam was a superb replacement I really find O'Connor (who I like and respect as an entertainer and person) completely wrong.
I think they should have given Carol the main job. |

Oh dear, I played along and lost 44-105 against the winner and 71-101 against the loser. Sorry to use your website to save myself the price of a text, JK, as Glen and I usually exchange our results that way! Perhaps deciding to play it at 2am, having hosted a cheese and wine (and Eurovision!) evening and quaffing about three bottles of wine wasn't the best timing!
As for the presenters, I loved Richard Whiteley, but I love the show so much, I would probably still watch even if Max Clifford was presenting it!
I think maybe you were a bit harsh in your dislike for Jeffery, JK. I think he's somewhere on the autistic spectrum, and his Countdown adventure was perhaps the highlight of his life.
Glen may or may not thank me for revealing this, but he reached the quarter finals of Countdown as a teenager, long before I knew him. We often play against each other. I remember with relish the 5 occasions on which I beat him, but have absolutely no recollection of the 200 times I was trounced! |

Well done JK! I played out of my skin, would have beaten any other player today getting ammonite, operants, outrange and maximum points on numbers and still lost by 13 - some player that guy is!!!
That jeffrey guy is autistic which goes some way to explaining his over excitable and obsessive behaviour. |

I disliked the other guy Jeffery enormously!
I got PRONATES and all the maths! |

The usual masterclass as predicted - i did well to even live with him today playing along lost 92-105! Beat the other guy 98-88. What a player! |
